i haven't seen on twitter, but yes, we're talking about mythicon on tumblr, mostly because i made this post and run a rhett and link fanblog with more than 3100 followers. that's where i got the idea to livestream the NYC event--a LOT of people expressed that they wanted to go but couldn't for whatever reason, and i figured i could do one of those live google hangouts on youtube and people could participate in the chat area to communicate live with the NYC meetup :)

Oh, so you run that blog! I saw that post ^_^. It seems like a pretty good idea. It might give other mythical beasts the chance to experience MythiCon without having to travel very far! Hopefully there wouldn't be many connection problems...

Great stuff there Karyn. I didn't know you had that fanblog (or any for that matter). Kind of what one would expect to happen since I live in a cave.
200+ more LIKES pertaining to MythiCon and possibly more folks that might attend one of the many local meetups.

I am most definitely coming and I'm bringing a friend! I can't really be a co-host since I'm not that great with planning and I can't really mail stuff but I will totally bring a sign. I'll make sure it's big! And since I'm bringing a sign I'll be there a bit early but can you tell me how early? 12:30? 12:45?
Anyways, there's a 2% chance that I might not come if my friend decides to cancel (she has a habit of forgetting or canceling things last minute) but I always text her everyday to make sure she'll come with me! I'll post a picture of the sign once I'm done making it.

Great! Glad that you're able to bring a friend. You and Marisa will be each other's back up when it comes to the whole sign-thing. (It won't hurt to have two!) 12:45 pm is certainly early enough.

I love how the group is expanding. And that sign looks amazing already! I shall endeavor not to envy the artistic abilities of my fellow Beasts.

That's great! I can certainly empathize with how busy you and the hubby must be with a move pending. So glad you're still able to make it!

This is a perfect time. I'm going to bring my boyfriend and possibly my brother if that is ok. :3

Yes, of course! Bring whomever you want. The more the better!
I certainly don't mean to limit the attendance. Just trying to gauge what to expect. Thus far it looks like we'll be anywhere from 7 to 11 people.

NYC MythiCon 2014 Update!
Saturday, July 19
1:00 pm ET
Bryant Park Meeting Location: Shaw Lowell’s Memorial Fountain. (#11 on this: map)
Closest entrance to this fountain is on 6th Ave and 41st St.
Known Attendees - The invitation is still open to any interested Beasts! Friends and family welcome.
- Karyn (Greater Horned Dingle) - Co-host and Card Designer
- Marisa (Freemaniac) + 1 (maybe) - Sign Creator
- Em Grey - Photographer
- Krisnina (Kyūketsuki) + 2 - Sign Creator
- Larxie Rivera + 2
- Unconfirmed: Rebekah Jorge(Asuka the Dragolf)
- Anita (Caladrius Theless) - Your Renegade Host
Personal Note From The Host:
There is a very real chance that I will be unable to attend the event. Most of my Saturdays for the last few months have been spent with my father, who has stage 4 cancer, and my disabled stepmother. I am only able to visit (and help) them on the weekends.Whether or not I attend, I consider it a joy to facilitate this event.
To Bring/To Do:
- If you so choose, bring a very small (let’s cap it at about 2” high and 1.5" wide) object to send to Rhett & Link. (Perhaps a NYC keychain or magnet, to represent our meeting?)
- Sign a group card to Rhett & Link, to send with the above.
- Take a group photo to send with the above. Also can do the “Lionel pose” photos. Doing the Lionel is like a rite of passage for Mythical Beasts! (Em & Karyn, you two should coordinate on sending this.)
- There is literally SO MUCH TO DO at Bryant Park. No kidding. A $3 carousel ride? Check. Food/sandwich kiosks? Check. Free board games like Apples to Apples, Scrabble, Jenga, dominoes and more? Check. Ping pong? Check. Outdoor reading “room”? Check.
Don’t make me list all the possibilities. Go to their site: http://www.bryantpark.org/ Seriously, even if by some cosmic fluke you were the only Mythical Beast to show up, you should still be able to enjoy yourself. - Sending a small Priority Flat Rate box through the Post Office is $5.80. If you’d like to contribute towards that, great (and would be less than a dollar per person, if everyone was able to chip in).
- Optional, if anyone is feeling very ambitious: create a Rhett & Link/Mythical themed Table Talk. All you need to do is put a bunch of questions in a bowl and everyone answers the question as they are drawn. They can be questions that provoke further conversation or reminiscing of our favorite R&L videos, or they can be icebreaker type stuff to help us get to know each other.

I have finally completed the sign I'm bringing. Here's a picture so everyone can know what to look out for at the location. I can't wait!
