Shorah, Mysteriumites!
Having panels created and run by you, the attendees and fans, is a time-honored part of Mysterium, and we’d love to keep it going this year. If you’re interested in having a panel, please fill out this form to let us know what you’d like to do and what you need for it so we can make it happen. The cutoff for form submission is Friday the 26th, though earlier is better.
Looking forward to seeing what you put together,
the 2013 committee
Shorah!
The Mysterium 2013 committee is pleased to announce that we have a hotel! We’ll be at the Hampton Inn & Suites Rochester/Henrietta. You can reserve rooms at the group rate through the personalized hotel page here. The con rate is $109 per room for the dates of the con plus a couple days on each side, and the group rate is good til July 1st or until the block is all reserved.
The registration form can be found here. You can buy tickets for the whole weekend, for individual days, and you can also order shirts.
Stay tuned for more information in the weeks to come. We’ll be uploading details on things like the con schedule, events and activities in the area, and more.
Go ye forth and register!

Shorah to the community! I’m Capella, chair of the Falling Man Group for 2013, and I look forward to working with the new committee to bring Myst fans everywhere a wonderful Mysterium.
The Falling Man Group knows that you’ve all been patiently waiting to hear about Mysterium 2013, and we’re here to bring you the good news: Mysterium 2013 will take place in Rochester, New York.
Rochester has a great location in upstate New York. It’s right alongside Lake Ontario and less than a day from from many major cities, including Toronto, New York City, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Washington DC, and Boston. The city is beautiful in the summer, and packed with things to do that will appeal to Myst fans. Here’s a short list:
-Strong Museum of Play (complete with an International Center for the History of Electronic Games, plus a Butterfly Garden!)
-The George Eastman House, a museum of photography and film
-A science center with a planetarium
-Seabreeze amusement park (accessible via bus routes)
-The Dryden Theatre (one of the few places in the US able to show nitrate film)
-A variety of attractive parks and walking trails
-And much much more.
The 2013 Mysterium planning committee will consist of Capella, Lutra, estelendur, and Kaelri. You’ll be hearing more about us and our roles in the next few weeks. The Falling Man Group will provide their experience, resources, and support to the new committee.
We can’t wait to see you in August!
Capella

This will most likely be the last time I post here as Chair of the FMG or the Mysterium Committee. As of September 1st 2012, I am stepping down as Chair and leaving the Mysterium planning group. Don’t worry, this is entirely for personal reasons; Mysterium is still safe (for now… but I’m getting ahead of myself). Eleri and Odo were at this before I got here, and they’ll continue to make great Mysteria after I leave.Continue reading
