This page contains updates regarding how the convention is going, and other things.
No offense to every other convention we’ve been to, but this is definitely the friendliest convention we’ve ever been to.
This is also the least smelly convention we’ve ever been to.
The Illumination Lab Amusement Park is so much fun! Be sure to get your swag bag from them before it’s too late!
Lots of innovations on classics going on here.
The WMA cocktail served at the Chrome Showroom is STRONG! Holy crap!
Thank you to Leah Orleans for creating the best magic convention ever. More to come via a blog post.
Wondering how to get the free voucher for the dealer’s room? Too late.

FAQ:
Q: You say this blog is mostly written by women, but Anne is the only woman I see! What gives?
A: Anne has gotten enough weird email for us to know better than to out the rest.
Q: How can you afford to run this thing and sponsor the festival too?
A: To paraphrase the Godfather: Someday, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept these free posts as a gift on our magical women’s convention days.
Q: How often do you send emails?
A: We only send emails when we upload a new post, except on very rare occasions. So rare that they’ve never happened so far.
Q: Are you operating behind the veil of pseudonymity because some of you are secretly terrible people?
A: We operate pseudonymously to make it harder for the people we perform for to find the magical secrets we employ. Our staff is composed entirely of GLOMM members in good standing and we promise that will never change.
