Preparing for Orlando

Shorah Mysterium attendees!

It’s only a couple weeks until Mysterium! I’ve seen a few people on Facebook ask for ideas on what to bring to the convention. So, as someone who has attended quite a few conventions and is a native of the Sunshine State, I thought I’d put together a handy list of suggestions of what to bring.Continue reading

Location Info & Shirt Order Deadline Extension

Shorah!

Can it be that Mysterium is really only 8 weeks away? I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to be in Orlando soaking up the sun and seeing all of my fellow Cyan fans.

I’ve got two updates for you today.

First, the early-bird package of registration + a shirt ends tonight, but we’ve decided to extend T-shirt orders for 1 week. That means that you can still order a T-shirt with your standard badge until June 16th, so visit the Registration page today!

The second thing I’ve got for you is our newly expanded Location Guide.

One of the nice things about taking Mysterium to new cities is the chance to get to spend some time exploring the host city. We’ve never been to the Southeast before, and Orlando’s a great choice since there’s so much to do. Obviously there are theme parks, like Disney, Universal Studios, and Sea World. There are also some really cool attractions, like the Orlando Eye, the Orlando Science Center, Kennedy Space Center, and more.

Visit our Location Guide to see what the team thinks is awesome in Orlando. I know a bunch of people are going to be coming early or staying longer. Want to go to a theme park but think it would be more fun with friends? We’ve started a post in our Facebook group to help you find an exploring buddy or three!

We’ll be updating this guide over the next few weeks to add in more things to do, places to eat, and other items of interest, so keep checking in.

I’m looking forward to seeing all of you in 2 months!

T-Shirts Update & Reminders

Shorah everyone,

Well, we were hoping to be able to announce our t-shirt logo today. Unfortunately, while we did receive a couple of poster art submissions from the art contest, we didn’t get any shirt logos. We have a volunteer working on one, but it’ll be a couple weeks before we can announce it. We’ll let you know what the shirts will look like as soon as we can! In the meantime, you can pre-order your shirts and register for the convention here.

Also, a reminder that Events and Conbook submissions are open until June 9th. As of today, we’ve only received a few event submissions, and no conbook submissions. As always, we’re entirely volunteer and community run, so we really rely on you all to help us make Mysterium a success. If you have an idea for a cool event, we can help make it happen! But you need to submit it. Similarly, if you have friends who make Myst or Obduction art, or fan fiction, or anything of that nature, please consider sending them the conbook link.

We can’t do it without you, so get those submissions in!

March Reminders

Shorah!

I wanted to give everyone a quick run-down of what’s been going on in March.

First, we’re still hard at work on the hotel search. We have it narrowed down to the finalists, and we’re excited to share the official hotel with you very soon.

Second, registration is going to open this month. As always, you’ll be able to register for a single day, a whole weekend, or buy a weekend registration bundle that comes with swag and a T-shirt. You can still pre-order a T-shirt if you register for a single day.

Third, here’s a reminder that the art contest, convention book, and events submissions are all still open. The art contest ends April 14th and the conbook and events are due by June 9th.

To be notified when registration and hotel reservations are available, we have a mailing list available. You can sign up for that at https://www.mysterium.net/mailing-list/.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in Orlando in August!
