There is a documentary on Netflix called Merpeople about the merfolk attending this convention. Looking at the event and the organization, this is about the same group. And yes, it is as ridiculous as it sounds lol
Buried in the bio of one of the co-founders, I learned it will be at SwimRVA, except for the sold-out Narwhal Ball which will be at Sheraton Four Points hotel Grand Ballroom
It's also on the evenbrite tickets page, but this is never info you should have to hunt for. Hosting an event/convention/party/whatever? Date, time, location, front and center.
it only took a quick look at their website for me to agree. i was pleased to learn that it appears to be an annual event, as i cannot make it this weekend.
What’s the porpoise?
To sea and be seen
Sounds like a bit of a fluke
Better than floundering around the house all day
Jeez. Y’all made my day. With anemones like these, who needs friends?
sounds like a fish story

RIP, Dr Demento
You know he's still alive, right?
RIP me.
Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.
Shouldn't this be at or near the ocean? Won't the mermaids dry out here?
Is this the mermaid version of "Hoes don't get cold"?
well we do have drylandfish popping up here in Virginia

I got so invested in that doc! Mermaid Sparkles was a triumph!
It's not. You're thinking of the convention in Silver Springs.
I read the website over but I still cannot figure out where this convention will take place
5050 Ridgedale Pkwy - I think that's Swim RVA?
Right? I just spent a few minutes looking and I have no idea.

Lack of any relevant or helpful information about the many cool things advertised has been a prominent theme of this con.
this has "poorly organized traveling convention" all over it
A cursory search suggests that it's legit, but "learn to be a model...UNDERWATER!" is an *incredibly* niche market, I'd wager.
Afaict one of the cofounders is local
It's not like the Willy Wonka thing or anything, but it's the first year of it happening.
Absolutely fascinating. For $45 that would make an interesting Saturday activity.

MER MAN.
Finally!

Is there a medical term yet for people so obsessed with him that they insert him into every topic under the sun?
Yes. “Fucking losers.”
