For these reasons, we’ve decided to delay the decision regarding the location of Mysterium 2011 by a few weeks to accomplish both of these.

If you think your North American EST city is right for Mysterium 2011, tell us why. Submit a bid by August 31st and help us bring Mysterium 2011 to your city!

As the person in charge of publications on the Mysterium Committee, I would like to offer a few exciting updates on our print materials.

As some of you may know, Mysterium uses a service called MagCloud to provide on-demand printing for our publications. This helps up keep costs down, and provides you with excellent, magazine-quality books which can be ordered at any time. By lucky coincidence, MagCloud’s birthday is close to Mysterium, and as a result, we get to pass along some special MagCloud deals each year to coincide with our little gathering. Until July 31st, all Mysterium publication purchases are 25% off!

MagCloud has also just come out of beta, and as part of that move, they are now offering shipping to any international location. If you live outside of the US, UK, and Canada and were interested in buying a copy of the Mysterium 2009 Convention Book or the Mysterium Cookbook, you can now order away!

All Mysterium print publications are available through our MagCloud store. All proceeds from sales go toward funding the convention.

We’re also thrilled to announce that as a result of our partnership with MagCloud, the Mysterium Convention Book is now available for free on Apple’s iPad! Just download MagCloud’s free iPad application, and search the magazine store for Mysterium!

The Mysterium 2010 Convention Book will be available later this week for purchase or download. All attendees who pre-registered for Mysterium will receive a copy of the Convention Book for free as part of their registration. If you are planning to attend but did not get an opportunity to pre-register, keep an eye on the Mysterium store at MagCloud for a chance to buy a copy before you leave! If you are unable to attend, you are still welcome to order a copy of the book for yourself. Like last year, there is some great content in it from fellow community members, and it’s a great way to show your support for Mysterium. Buy one. Hey, buy three! (™ lonelyto25)

If you are attending Mysterium 2010 and would like to purchase a t-shirt to pick up at the convention, please get your order in by the end of the day tomorrow, July 20th! These are high-quality screen-printed t-shirts made by the same company that printed our 2009 shirts last year. In order to get our purchase in with enough time to get the shirts to the convention, we need your orders ASAP!

You can also order a shirt even if you do not plan on attending. Any shirts ordered by non-attendees will be mailed out after the convention. To ensure that your order is part of our pre-Mysterium run, please also get your order in by tomorrow night, July 20th!
