D*Con is right around the corner, and the word is that the Order won't be throwing down this year. Fiscal needs being met among other problems. So we’re going to be wandering around, hitting up other parties, and generally taking it easy.
That being said, we’re also going to be skipping party throwing at Chattacon as well, but we’ll be back in force for Frolicon. POC and next D*Con are on the books, but don’t count on anything until full announcements are made.
See, the deal is that the Order, while the awesome, is not going the way we in charge desire. Our growth as an organization is not going the way we want, and we are not pushing forward in the direction we want. So the next year is going to consist of a lot of changes and thought going into what we do. Expect a lot of changes internally and maybe even some very big surface level changes. So, to help guide and institute these changes, there will be several meetings at and after D*Con to discuss where things are going to go.
The best news though is that out mead maker has a very excellent batch ready for con and will be drinking heavily of it at the parties we attend, including a few smaller gatherings of friends, so chase him down and bribe a couple bottles outta him. It’s the good stuff
Holy freaking update batman. After much labor on the part of the powers that slack, we has us an update.
First off, grats to our resident mad scientist andmixologiest Thandor. We kicked ass at Frolicon and won the Concoction Contest. Banana Split Shot FTW
Next up, we got Play On Con right around the corner, and it's time to hit the ground running. We're going to run the afore mentioned but never happened Munchkin Party. So bring your BBQ Fork and Pantyhose of Giant Strength. Lots of drinking, potion vendor going nuts, and the occasional random combat just to spice things up. This is kind of the pre-cursor to the planed Munchkin Drinking LARP that we have rules around here somewhere for, which may or may not happen. But it's going to be fun all the same.
Heads up for D*Con, it's only a few months away. The Order is in dire straits on funding and rooms, so if you have a Hyatt room to spare, rewards points you'll never use, or just some couch change laying about, let Thandor know, he needs it all.
Also t obe unveiled at D*Con, funding permitting, will be the "New Hotness". Wait and see, it's going to be the third sexiest thing we've ever done.
Booze flow is about to step up a notch. After talking with some folks and working on some ideas, we're going to unleash a flood of drinky the likes of which even Thandor only dreams of. Yes, Thandor, our beloved mead maker, is turning his eyes to the distilling arts. To be let loose first shall be the Rum at POC. Unless a pile of money comes out of no where, then all the clear boozes shall show up. Heeeeellllllooooooo vodka. And fear not, for Thandor shall spend a night on each before he lets it loose into the public, just to prove it’s not deadly or blinding or anything. Not that it will be, rumor is he has some idea what he’s doing.
We’ve also got some new stuff for the site in the works, stay tuned. We’re hoping to have up new bits and pieces every week or two (damn web guy is a slacker)
