There's just one week to go until MythiCalia, and just three days left to register... registration will close on Sunday, September 23. There are still several spaces available!

If this message is perchance the first you have heard of this: This is a camping gather in Loma Mar, CA (SF Bay area). $55 per person for the whole weekend (Fri Sept 28 - Sun Sept 30). You can come on Thursday Sept 27 by booking one of our sites separately for yourself on Thursday night ($37 paid directly to the park).

The schedule is still in flux even this close to showtime - par for the course for 'kin gathers! I can't guarantee that everything shown on http://mythicalia.eristic.net/schedule2012.php will actually happen, but it will give you an idea of the kinds of things we may do.

With about 3 months to go, an update about MythiCalia.

(Brief info for those not already familiar with this event: September 28th-30th, 2012; near La Honda, CA; tent camping; $45/person until August 15, $55/person thereafter. See the website for full details.)

The following workshops have been proposed:

Energy work with the Seelie and Unseelie Courts
Planar travel and etiquette
Draestari history [Draestari are one of the so-called "Elenari" races of elves]
Aspecting: expressing the inner mythic being
Ritual for entering the mythic world

So far just one person besides myself and my husband is registered and paid, and I have workshop proposals but not yet a registration from one other person (who would have two more people in tow).

The low number is not that unusual for this early in the registration game, but I do want to point out that every person who says to themselves "well, I would go if there were more people" compounds the problem of there not being enough people! If you help the numbers out by registering, even if you think it's scanty, it will help things gain momentum. (And if it really turns out that the final headcount is not enough for your tastes I can always give you a refund.)

Also, tomorrow I will be going to check out a privately-owned campsite in the hopes that I can finally solve the problem of having to use public parks, which has been sub-optimal for us and, I think, part of the reason MythiCalia has so far failed to be as nifty as Walking the Thresholds. If I like the site, it will also be comparatively cheaper than the public parks have been. So stay tuned for developments on that front.

It is with regret I must announce that this year's MythiCalia has been cancelled due to lack of registrations.

Registration for this year's MythiCalia is now open. See the website at http://mythicalia.eristic.net for more details. After a little thought I've decided to offer different rates for single overnight ($20) and single day trip ($10) as well as the $40 rate for the entire weekend (Thursday through Monday, Sept. 22-26). I'm considering retiring the event after this year (depending on turnout), so if you've ever wanted to come, this could be your last chance!
