MISTI-Con Livejournal QnA
Hello everyone!
My name is Jonathon Rosenthal, I have posted here occasionally but I don't believe I have formally introduced myself.
I am one of the head chairs of MISTI-Con and my primary job is Logistics. Along with Cassandra Johnstone and Clay Dockery, we make up the three head chairs of the convention. The convention staff then consists of a series of our chair people, each one in charge of a specific area such as Fan Fiction, Fan Art, Decorations, Graphics, etc.
I want to begin by thanking Droxy for her assistance in acting as a liason for us in the Livejournal community. Even though I handle much of MISTI-Con's social network communications, and are an old school LJ user (Perm Account in fact =), my use of LJ has significantly reduced over the years but please do not hold that against me :)
The MISTI-Con team definitely knows that there is a vibrant and active HP community on Livejournal and with Droxy's help we intend to keep you as informed as possible regarding con news and updates.
We recently held a live chat on TinyChat to allow anyone to ask questions of our team. It was very well received and we believe that we helped a lot of people understand our con better. The transcript of this chat went online tonight and can be found here: http://www.misti-con.org/chat1.html
Understanding that LJ is a fairly different medium, we want to engage this community in a similar conversation. Please use the comments section below to Ask Me Anything regarding MISTI-Con. I will answer questions during the course of the next week, with the bulk of the questions answered next Wednesday Oct 3rd. This will be followed up by a smaller QnA specifically used to provide elaboration on any of my answers if needed.
Please be aware that thanks to the mighty power of delegation and the need to keep my sanity, I will not have the answers to everything. Some things I will need to consult with other team members about. Also there might be some (though few) questions I might not be able to answer because we can't release certain "works in progress". But I will reveal as much as I can =)
Thank you for your support and interest in MISTI-Con, I look forward to your questions!
