Happy 2015, everyone!

I kind of forgot how to post on the site, so sorry about the lack of updates in the posts! The good news is that things are on track for another great Myths and Legends Convention this year.

Exciting news on my end is that I got to go to Disney World and Universal Studios in Florida at the end of 2014, and wow, do these folks know how to do things right. I absolutely loved the Harry Potter worlds at Universal, and yes I got to ride the Hogwarts Express! I got to a point where it felt natural and normal to be drinking Butterbeer. 😀 I’m not sure how to bring some of that awesome feeling of immersion that you get at the theme parks over to my convention, but it’s fun to see things on such a higher level; it gives me something more to strive for.

For me, the fun of the convention is multifold. I want to create an experience, and I want it to include the feeling of community. We all come to MALCon because we’re fans of something, and I want fans to be able to find others who sing the same songs, as it were. I also want it to be better and better each year; not necessarily bigger, but an experience to remember. I also want to be in the black each year. 😉

For 2015, we will have some new guests (to be announced -you haven’t missed it yet) and some new vendors, as well as a bunch of our returning favorites. We’ll be bringing back some fun activities such as Blanket Forts and Chainmaille, while also bringing in some new fun things. Some continuing continuity and some fresh and new.

Oh, I meant to mention, I have decided not to create a forum for the website. Seems like that’s a dying dinosaur; not even the largest cons in the area get much conversation there anymore, so I think we’ll keep things happening on FB and here (if I can get the spam comments to quit popping up).

I hope you all get to enjoy the wonderful sunshine we’re having, and see you next time, Gadget!
