Mysterium T-Shirt/Logo & Con Book Submission

T-shirt/Logo and Convention Book Submission.

Mysterium is fast approaching and planning is on-going.

Time to start sharpening those pencils to come up with this years’ t-shirt and Official Mysterium Logo!

Due to the positive response from the Bevin decorations at last year’s event, we’ve decided to incorporate another Age into our decorations’ theme this year. The Age we’ve selected for 2010 is Kadish Tolesa. Feel free to use this theme as a source of inspiration for your logo designs and convention book submissions if you choose, but doing so will not be a requirement.Continue reading

Mysterium 2010 Dates!

A new year… and time to start thinking about Mysterium! As previously announced, Mysterium will be held in Minneapolis, MN, and now you can have dates to go with your location!

Mysterium 2010
Minneapolis, MN

The holidays slowed down the hotel process, but know that we’re looking at some reasonably priced facilities, with fantastic access to the airport and the Mall of America.

Keep your eyes open for announcements about the yearly Tshirt Contest, registration, presentations, and more!

We are riding high from Mysterium ’09, when Mysterium returned home to Spokane, WA; Cyan was gracious enough to have us for a visit and a BBQ. We have some exciting things planned for Mysterium this year: new people and new ideas have been flowing, and we’ve put much effort into reorganizing our committee structure to ensure that planning is as efficient as possible. We look forward to working with the community to make Mysterium 2010 better than ever!

Mysterium 2010 Location Chosen!

On behalf of the entire Mysterium Committee, the Location Team is excited to announce that next year’s Mysterium will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota!

The city for Mysterium 2010 was chosen through a combination of community-wide polling and much research. Because the top three cities on the poll turned out to be statistically tied (click here for the final numbers), we set out to do further research on each of the top cities to determine which was most ideal rather than let the randomness of the tie determine the location.

Minneapolis has a number of hotels to choose from that offer easy transit to and from the airport and provide the large meeting spaces we’ve come to rely on while maintaining affordable rates. The public transportation options provide a simple way around the city for those flying in, and those driving in will have an equally easy time of navigating the streets. Between museums like the Bakken Museum of Electricity in Life and the 370,000-square-foot Science Museum of Minneapolis, the shopping centers like the famous Mall of America, and the many parks and lakes within the city to explore, we think the city provides everything needed for a Mysterium city!

In the end, Minneapolis was chosen not only for its top place in the poll and outstanding qualities in the above-mentioned areas, but also because a few locals have volunteered to personally check out hotels, and advise on local transportation options and attractions. The ability to have people physically go to an area and find out information is critical to making Mysterium as affordable and enjoyable as possible.

In closing, we’d like to thank all of you for your patience while we worked to select a city and we want to wish all those who are attending Mysterium 2009 right now an awesome, fun and safe trip! If you were unable to attend this year (like those of us on the Location Team), we hope you’ll be able to attend next year’s!

Shorah!
TW, Odo, GermanShepherd (Location Team), and the rest of the Mysterium Committee
