Yearly Archives: 2008

*Tap tap* Is this thing on?

Posted on by | 2 Comments

Hey!

So, it’s November now, and I realize we’ve been pretty quiet despite the promises that we’d be far more on-the-ball with planning than things have been in past years.  Well, we’re working hard to make up lost time now, and are busy planning Mysterium 2009.  We expect to have a couple of polls out within the week that you can participate in to drive the planning process for next year.  The first poll will be going out to everyone who registered for Mysterium 2008 in Boston, to get one last feedback push from them on how we did.  The second poll will be open to everyone, and will be soliciting feedback on what you as a community would like to see in 2009.

Stay tuned, this is just the beginning!

My Mysterium: Photo Sharing and Communal Blogging

Posted on by

So we kind of dropped the ball on getting this really announced ahead of time, and for that we apologize, but we’ve been working on a way to share each others photos and experiences in this wild and wacky web 2.0 worlds we live in.  For those who prefer to thoroughly document their experiences using the written word, you can sign up for a blog at my.mysterium.net, or even syndicate your existing blog’s RSS feed.  Get in touch with Odo or Alahmnat if you need assistance getting yourself established there.

We also have a Mysterium 2008 group on Flickr for the shutterbugs among us.  The address for the group is http://www.flickr.com/groups/Mysterium2008.  If you’re unfamiliar with how to contribute photos to a group on Flickr, check out this question in the Flickr FAQ.

Be at Mysterium – on paper!

Can’t make it to this weekend’s Mysterium? It’s not too late to be a Paper Person!

Paper people is a Mysterium tradition where people who can’t make it sent pictures of themselves to be there in their place. There is usually a group picture taken with all of the paper people. You can still get yours in. Send your jpg to eleri@mysterium.net by Friday AM!

CAGrayWolf Memorial & Family Support Fund

Posted on by | 4 Comments

Wolfie put huge amounts of time, energy and spirit into planning this year’s Mysterium. We’d be dishonoring him if we didn’t find a way to celebrate that spirit in some way.

On Sunday, we will be holding a non-denominational memorial for Wolfie, with a visual presentation, and time for people to speak. We will also have a memory book available for people to write in, that will be sent to his family.

In addition, we are passing the hat for a Wolfie Family Support Fund. This fund will have two priorities: first, clearly, to help alleviate the finance burden of funeral expenses.

The second priority is to support the Guild of Greeters in carrying on one of Wolfie’s projects, which was sponsoring a wolf of the Sawtooth Wolf Pack in Idaho. Funds beyond what the family accepts for expenses will be given to the GoG for this purpose

If you have pictures of CAGrayWolf you’d like to share, please send them to info@mysterium.net

To contribute to the fund, please use the mysteriumpaypal@gmail.com address, and include “memorial fund” in the notes. Or, you can contribute directly to the Guild of Greeters

Thank you all so much,

The Mysterium Committee
