I will be wearing a formal tailcoat, if it helps

[Merman Chatfish]

I don't do formal so I am hoping to volunteer with the kids or maybe get a group of people that want to do something else...

Question: is anyone who is going to the mersquerade dressing up, up?

I'm not gonna be super formal, but I believe that some folks will be going all out and gettin' all fancied up. I'll be wearing a cute LBD and jazzing it up with accessories and colorful shoes. I'm skipping the mask thing because masquerade masks creep me out. I'll be making a fascinator instead and will be adding a little birdcage veil to it to cover my face a bit.

Excited to meet you!

C: Yay. Question: is anyone who is going to the mersquerade dressing up, up? Like formal ballroom kind of stuff or keeping it casual? I found this dress I want to wear but it's on the more formal side. Just wondering what everyone else plans on doing, if anything.

Yes the ball will be formal but if you go on Facebook to the event it has more questions on there about it and you have to wear a mask as well but mostly everyone will be dressing up formal for it.

Is the masquerade and Saturday Night at the Sciquarium the same thing? Im not interested so in the party (maybe depending on number of people) but I am in the dinner and meeting people.

The events are the same. The MerSquerade Ball will be held at the Carolina SciQuarium, part of the Greensboro Science Center. But have no fear, the night will offer opportunities for all. Want to dance the night away? No worries, we'll have a DJ (the same we will have the night before at the Sheraton mixer/karaoke). Want to grab a snack and watch fish? The 90,000 gallon Shark Reef exhibit is a wonder to behold! Want to interact with aquatic life? The stingray touch tank will be open and it's one of my favorite parts of the SciQuarium!

I know that some people might not be able to make it to NC Mer-Mania 2016 but this is my first event and first time going to this and I don't want to miss it I have been a Mermaid for 5 years now and I just have to go to this I would love to make some new friends and get myself out there more to becoming a professional Mermaid.

[MermaidSabrina]

I've asked my mom if I could show up and she said I am most likely going yay! It's been a while since I've swam in and put on my tail for outside use,Which i want some time to do, Im happy and can't wait to see and meet and swim with other mers. I'm about an hour away from where the event is and I'm glad I'm close by

Oh that I would like to do if I am not helping out the kids.

[Rogue Siren]

I want to thank all the people who helped put this together! I wouldn't be attending a Mer convention in 2016 if it weren't for you guys. The new September date for the other convention totally clashes with Dragon Con, and I'm helping out with the aquatics track and the couple mer events they have there. <3

Well this just happened when discussing flying out to Mer-Mania:


Dad:

Fly into "Piedmont Triad International Airport" code PTI. Travis has looked and found flying out of Minneapolis is cheapest but if prices have changed flying out of Des Moines or Rochester is better but not worth spending a lot.


When do activities start?
Are there scheduled activities on Sunday?
What are current Hotel Reservations?


I think we want to fly in the on Thursday then Fly out on Monday

.

Mom:

Travis is going to check into getting the hotel room for Thursday night too. Once I know if that is a possibly or not, I'll book the flights. Do you think it is safe to travel right now?

Me:

What do you mean safe to travel right now?

Mom:

All the crazy terrorism stuff

Me:

I’m probably more likely to die from every pilot on the plane having a heart attack at once than I am from a foreign terrorist. Probably more likely to die here in the DSM area…there was a second shooting in Waukee in three weeks or so. Heck in 2013 more people died by toddlers with guns than in the Boston Marathon bombing. Statistically Im not worried, I have yet to take my happy meds for the day.

Mom:

Shootings in Waukee are usually ones where both parties know each other, rather than random shootings.

Oh mom. Don't let the terrorist win.

Hell, I'm more worried about my flight getting snowed in than a plane hijacking. S'why I'm taking a non-stop flight from Seattle to Raleigh this year instead of having a layover in Chicago like I usually do.

[AniaR]

I have to take 3 flights -_- a direct flight would take like 2 hours haha and instead it's going to take all day!

I feel you. I'm taking three just to get from Hawaii to Florida to see my family for xmas, THEN flying to Georgia to drive down with my friend to North Carolina since it solved the renting a car problem. It's going to be a long journey. Super stoked though. How long are most people waiting to get tickets in the mail? I think it's been a week, still nothing. Anyone get anything yet?
