Eleri if I could, I'd move heaven and earth to be there.

To paraphrase Kim Cattrall in SITC2: "Four years and this horrible economy? I've had it, I need to do something Myst."

Have a wonderful time & please post photos!

THE TOP 10 REASONS YOU SHOULD COME TO MYSTERIUM:
1. Squee blowers.
2. Inevitable comments about no bathrooms in 'Dunny'
3. Sudden death Ahyoheek games
4. Cool swag
5. The Mysterium Quote Book
6. Eleri has been watching the new show from Adam & Jamie, muaahaha!
7. Memiki's cookies
8. Puzzles, puzzles, puzzles
9. Quantum theory discussions
10. Hanging out with people who don't look at you funny.*

*for liking Myst. We make no promises about not looking at you funny for other reasons

I'll be there, and not as a sheet of paper. It's a very long trip for me, but one way or another I'll be there.

And if I can get it finished in time, I may be bringing some more epic fan-art with me...

Any chance of seeing what you have done so far.Do you have an online gallery somewhere?

That makes him qualified to be a ResEng, doesn't it?

It was a long shot... Anyway, back to the subject at hand: Who*else* is going to Mysterium?

Wah!!! Too bad I'm not a Brony though, cause that would have been sweet! (Come to think of it, I'm rather glad I'm not a Brony.)

And of course, there are rewards to putting the time in. Last year I got to Skype Rand! A friend of mine running a Brony con got to spend an hour on the phone with John DeLancie. I totally recommend it if you have the time and the drive.

What tan said. It doesn't take experience per se, but a willingness to have an idea and then put the effort into making it happen. Sometimes my experience in ConComs and event running has gotten in the way, and someone else will come with an out of the box idea that is awesome.

I think the thing people underestimate is how much work even a small event is- the more you want to do, the more of a part time job it becomes. But when you've got a group of people that share the enthusiasm and the work load, who want to see it succeed come hell or high water then anyone, yes even you, can host a Mysterium (or any other gathering!)

I loved the one time I went, I met a bunch of great people and met the friends I'd only seen via keyboard before.. Also got to see Cyan HQ, talk to Rand (and wow is RAWA so quiet in public!), got to have random fun and see Spokane.. plus was my first time flying alone and all. All in all a great experience.

...also an expensive one. I don't have the funds to manage another one like that, not without some reprocussions later. Sorry... carry the UO banner for us when you go, Zib!

Wait, did we make a UO banner? Now we have to make a banner, I suggest a colourful sock maybe.. personally I'd suggest my avatar there but it might seem too muchWe never DID rename it to Carl Obsession either like polls would suggest...

I don't know if they did, but that would have been when the money was flowing and I would guess attending was part of the Uru marketing push (or at least it was billed a such ;p)

I also do not think that Cyan would be willing to fly to Europe and provide the support and memorabilia as they do with a US based Mysterium event.

To my knowledge (someone please correct me if I'm wrong), Cyan has never traveled to any Mysterium, but when it's been held in Spokane, they've graciously hosted a visit by participants to their offices there.

I believe they attended the one in New Mexico during 2001. Someone correct me on that.
