Greetings Mysterians,

 

As we all reflect on one of the best years of Transformus, the BOD would like to let our community know that a we are on the verge of a new horizon and passing of leadership.

 

G8kpr (Debra) and Wordplay (Rob) will be stepping down from the BOD this coming year. G8kpr and Wordplay have been with Transformus since the first walk of the land with a vision; they now pass the torch to the next generation of leadership. The BOD would like to thank them for their dedication, leadership, blood, sweat and tears! Transformus would not be where it is today, if was not for these two gifting souls in our community. We will miss you both dearly, and we firmly know that you will still be a very strong voice of reason in our community.

 

However, with the passing of old leadership comes the excitement of new leadership for Transformus 2011. The following three Planning Committee members will be joining Vespa and myself in the planning of Transformus 2011.

These three Mysterians have the utmost respect, drive, and passion to take our event into the next era. The BOD is excited for what lies ahead, and we look forward to our annual retreat that will be in Oct. All of the 2010-2011 BOD and PC members will be in attendance as we start the planning process way ahead of schedule.  Get ready, start planning your theme camps, and ask yourself, "How Can You Make Transformus Happen!"

 

You Are Transformus,

My fellow Mysterians,
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and commend my team members. I could not have  asked for a better group of fellows than the Effigy Team, each one in turn brought their hard work and dedication to the table and helped to create my vision of the power  and magik that was the effigy burn.
These men deserve your highest respect as well:
Mathew Muniyama Mitchell - Co Lead
Michael Mooney - Co Lead
Mike Diethelm - Lead Chainsaw
Hobbit Dawes - Arms up Knuckle down
Richard Rubble Jones - Semper Fi
Ty Hammond
Bill Glasscock

To the ritual team, The priests, priestesses and the elementals. You are the embodiment of the gods and goddesses themselves. Thank you for bringing your energy and working your magik.
To the Ministry of Sound and the players of music Thank you for bringing the Boom, .and raising the energy of the moment.
To The mad Science genius Christian, Let there be DRAGONS!
And everyone else who put there hands and their hearts to the project.
I LOVE and admire you all.
To the BOD and the planning committee And the owners of Deerfields, Thank you is not nearly strong enough to convey my gratitude to you for allowing me a venue  to practice my Kraft.
To the rest of you Thank you for your participation and for Bringing Mysteria to life once again.
This burn meant so much more to me than just burning a big pile of sticks, or even the object of burning away that which does not serve us. I do not expect you all to share my world view, but for me this was also a gift to the goddess and a release of magical energy into the world at a time when this blue ball we live on desperately needs it. I believe that together we made big magik that night.
For myself, this burn was more about goddess than the man. Which I attempted to depict through a minimalist approach to the man. In my vision the man is the least important part of the equation, the man just gets in the way of the spirit
So once again , Thank You All. I hope that you left Mysteria, ,Reborn, with a new vision, and I hope that you carry the spirit of Mysteria with you as you travel throughout the rest of the world.

Peace, Love & Light,
Beardog

Here's a handy list of the essential things you need to do beforehand and bring to the event:

Bring your printed e-ticket that you printed from the Admit One site! You will NOT receive paper tickets in the mail this year. Rather, you will exchange your e-ticket for the souvenir ticket that was this year's contest winner. Each barcode presented at the gate entitles one participant/freak entry to Mysteria, regardless of who purchased that ticket. In order to exchange tickets, provide the new attendee with the barcode, contained in your ticket confirmation email. No valid barcode, no entry, no exceptions. It's important to know that once a code is scanned that code is no longer valid. Contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with any ticket problems.

A form of ID. Transformus requires participants to be 18 or over in age. You must have a valid ID to prove your age before admission.

A signed copy of the standard Transformus waiver of liability. You should print this form from the website (http://www.transformus.com/tickets/release-agreement.html), sign it, and have it ready along with your ticket and ID when you get to the gate.

Please review the 2010 Survival Guide (http://www.transformus.com/transformus-survival-guide.html) carefully. This contains detailed important information and guidance for Transformus virgins and veterans alike.

A community meeting will be held at 7 pm Thursday night at the Center Camp stage, following the volunteer meal.
