Comment by Amy Auld on July 13, 2015 at 1:49pm: I'm hoping to come. Weekend off work and what's a better way to spend time off than hopping on a train from Glasgow to spend the day in Edinburgh?

Comment by Zoe- TheRandomKillerQueenPheonix on July 10, 2015 at 9:21pm: I hope to be there!
I got so mad when I saw that Rhett and Link's view of haggis was dashed by something horrificly made up and called 'haggis'
The best haggis is the canned stuff, it ain't nasty whatsoever. :P

K-Mod Comment by Gumbo123 on July 1, 2015 at 6:29pm: well, it's about 5 hours later and I just got around to watching today's GMM - - Will It Cookie.

I guess the experts have spoken and the answer is: NO!

K-Mod Comment by Gumbo123 on July 1, 2015 at 12:32pm: uh, you are talking about the same HAGGIS, right?

"a savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver, lungs, kidney) minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, salt and spices, mixed with stock and traditionally encased in the animal's stomach for boiling"

That haggis, right? sounds yummy (NOT)

Comment by mythical awesomeness on June 30, 2015 at 7:14pm: what should the sound of the mystical beast be i think it should be pucock

K-Mod Comment by Gumbo123 on June 30, 2015 at 10:37am: I don't know specifically how they do these things in Scotland, but MythiCon events worldwide are typically conducted on a BYOC (bring your own chicken) basis.

Haggis, of course, will be provided.

Comment by Zoe- TheRandomKillerQueenPheonix on June 24, 2015 at 5:35pm: @Amy Auld - Don't worry about being new to Edinburgh! Every necesary thing is so close to the train station you get off of, so you don't need to worry about that. If you're really worried about coming to Edinburgh, you can hang with me and I can help you, I've been to Edinburgh more times than to school hahah (that means a lot.)
I'm not entirely sure what happens at mythicon, but I think it's just a big meet-up and we do fun things related to Rhett and Link, maybe someone else should explain?

btw I think we should deffo meet up in the food court next to the train station and THEN move to the other Mall if things are too difficult/busy.
And if we can help having a fellow mythical beast be a part of Mythicon DESPITE work, then by all means I think we should for sure head over to the Hotel Chocolat store and meet up with them! Also, free chocolate for everyone, cept me coz I'm lactose intolerant lol :)

Comment by Amy Auld on June 24, 2015 at 5:23pm: I'd love to go but not really sure of where anything is in Edinburgh... Only been a couple of times. What happens at mythicon?

Comment by Logan Oliver on June 24, 2015 at 5:06am: Why not just meet in the huge opening outside the mall? The McDonald's can be v busy with the train folks

Comment by Logan Oliver on June 23, 2015 at 6:40pm: Alas I am working that day! D:

That being said, you are all welcome to come visit my shop in edinburgh and bring some mythicality to it! I work Hotel Chocolat on Frederick Street (we do free chocolate samples)

Bade mythical, mah mukkers!

Comment by Zoe- TheRandomKillerQueenPheonix on June 23, 2015 at 2:27pm: I would love to come along aswell!! I hope we arrange it all soon!
I think princes Mall would be good, it gives us a place to chill and sit and we'd be near the train station, if there's not too many of us, we can walk to somewhere else and chill there for a bit.
I am a very ill person, just keeping that in mind, so I may not come along, but if I do, if I'm not feeling 100%, I'm normally not able to walk very far or I may leave early. It's very unfortunate, but hopefully I'm well! :L

K-Mod Comment by Gumbo123 on June 22, 2015 at 6:50pm: @ Jamie Mackie - this would be the first for Scotland. There was some interest in year 1 and 2 but nobody was willing to step up and hos, co you can thank fiveohfivethree (Sara) for taking the initiative this time around.

Last year, the closest to you was the three MBs (two from Northern Ireland and one from Denmark) who gathered together in Belfast - - -

Comment by Jamie Mackie on June 22, 2015 at 6:39pm: Thinking about travelling down from Aberdeen for the day. Does anyone know if there have been mythicons in Scotland before?

Comment by Clair Bellarby on June 22, 2015 at 4:53pm: Awesome, hope tae see ye there

K-Mod Comment by Gumbo123 on June 22, 2015 at 3:01pm: FYI - a mall with food court and seating area have proved ideal for previous mythicon events from Iowa, USA to Singapore
