The convention’s official events are all scheduled to take place from Friday, July 31st through Sunday, August 2nd. However, because of the number of people who arrived a day early last year in Boston, we have extended the opening of Mysterium 2009 “unofficially” to Thursday evening, July 30th. There are no official events scheduled, save for some informal discussions about maybe having a pool party, but the registration desk will be open for pre-registrants to pick up their swag, with the goal being to make it easier for folks to know who has already arrived for pre-convention get-togethers.

I think Odo was typing too quickly, as the dates are nowhere near June. I apologize for the confusion.

Umm, maybe I’m seeing things, but the main page title (http://www.mysterium.net/) is “Mysterium 2009: July 30 – August 2, Spokane, WA”, and the Mysterium 2009 landing page (http://www.mysterium.net/mysterium-2009/) has “Mysterium 2009 will be held in Spokane, Washington, home of Cyan Worlds, Inc., from July 30th through August 2nd….”

You’re saying that “Mysterium 2009 dates are listed as June 31-July 2nd on the main page and the Mysterium 2009 landing page….”

Now I’m confused. Which dates are correct?

Might have missed it, but nowhere on this website can I find the from-through dates for Mysterium 2009.

Mysterium 2009 dates are listed as July 31-August 2nd on the main page and the Mysterium 2009 landing page, however, I’ll adjust the size to make that stand out a little bit more.

I did see “The registration desk will be open officially starting at 10:00 AM on Friday, July 30th.

The registration desk will be open on the 30th, but events (other than probably an ad-hoc meet & greet on the evening of the 30th for those present) do not begin until Friday the 31st.

So I called the hotel (Comfort Inn University District/Downtown Spokane, 509-535-9000) to find out.

The hotel says that Mysterium 2009 is booked for attendee arrival on 7/31/09 and departure on 8/2/09.

Just as a note in regard to that – although the official “dates” at the hotel correspond to the dates of Mysterium activities, the hotel has agreed to honor the group pricing for up to three days before and three days after those dates. Please contact me (Odo) if there are any issue from the hotel with that.

Edit: Fixed my dates… I was in a hurry to post that at the time.

The first official day of events is still Friday. We’re using Thursday as a sort of informal meet-up day, rather than leaving that for Friday, so that we have more time for events. Don’t worry, you won’t miss anything by showing up during the day Thursday .

I think (/hope) you mean it (Mystrerium 2009) starts at 10AM Friday July the 31st (NOT July 30, as stated above)(?) Otherwise I have to fly in Wednesday…LOL
