I first thought of it as μcon. >.>
Hehehe. . . you're not the only one who's had that thought. I'm going to use that somewhere at the con; I haven't figured out where but SOMEWHERE.
No doubt! (*has been to Greece*)
Although in Greece it has the numeric value of 40, it is the *12th* letter of the Greek alphabet.
This is a *New Year's Eve* party, i.e., the most important time to mark and celebrate will be *12 am.*
(Also per wikipedia in Christianity it's used as the middle point between alpha and omega, so another logical twist for marking midnight with it.)
I do not know if alcohol will be allowed at the party (but I imagine those of age can at least drink in their hotel rooms). Might be appropriate to toast with a *micro* brew, since most who know of mu know it as a symbol for the prefix "micro".
Meantime given that this con also ties in sci fi and fantasy, those obsessed with Lost
*ahem*
*blushes*
*watches eps on the abc site obsessively*
may know that
"Typing the numbers (4,8,15,16,23,42) from the fictional TV series Lost resulted in the character "µ". In Microsoft Windows, holding down the "Alt" key while entering these numbers results in the character appearing wherever your cursor is (though the 4 and 8 are superfluous). (this does not work in XP or later OS versions)" (per Wikipedia).
Then of course there is that mu is also used to denote the
"Standard gravitational parameter of a celestial body, the product of the gravitational constant G and the mass M." (per Wikipedia).
(Most wouldn't know this, but a long-time friend of mine researches gravity at U of O at a PhD level....)
So it would be appropriate (if 18+)to watch Gravitation LOL!
