MISTI-Con now has an LJ presence:

Those of you who were at DiaCon Alley may remember a fair amount of talk about the joys of Aeternitas, which I'd not been aware of prior to that. Well, MISTI-Con is run by the same folks as did Aeternitas, at the same place, and looks like having a focus on the creative side of fandom, with exclusive use of the venue and hence some pretty awesome decor. And a pool party. (I can't imagine how that plays out in HP-land!)
The prices are a heck of a lot more reasonable than the big US conventions, plus, Boston in May is about £300 cheaper airfare than Orlando in July.
So, this probably makes me slightly insane, but if I can possibly go, I will. Could anyone else from this side of the pond be tempted?
For those of you waiting, am still working on Halloween comm. More news soon.
