Remember fans! Do not lose your tickets!

Tomorrow kicks off the first day of the five day GormogoniCon 2009 eventaganza. For you slackers who failed to email us and get tickets, or for those who did email us asking for free tickets (yeah, maybe when socialists figure it all out), you can read a synopsis of each day here.

For those who did get tickets, remember—again—we are meeting in our ultra-secret location, but in the Regent Room this year as they booked the Starlight Room.

Despite all the craziness, and all the hard work by all five of these Gormogons as well as numerous others who shall remain nameless until such time as it deems necessary for you to know them publicly, we will continue to post news, events, commentary, inside jokes, and cleverly steganographed secret messages all week.

The Czar of Muscovy

Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
