Hey, Brandon here with your Weekly Update. I am back, kind of. I’m actually at
C2E2 in Chicago right now doing a convention. But we’re filming from my booth. We’re going to
start with the thing you’re most interested in, I bet, which is that Wind and Truth, last revision, I
am at, Bing! 39%. So writing’s been going really well on Wind and Truth. I feel pretty confident
about getting that in May 31 st . But I have a lot of writing to do next month.
But I have some other cool announcements for you. The first one is, it’s your last call to get
things from the BackerKit preorder store. That closes today. So if you are part of our campaign
and you want to add on some plushies or something, this is your last chance.
Next week, we’ll actually start opening registration for our own convention. This will happen
about a week from today, I believe, exactly one week from today. Badge prices will go up. They
are going to be $99 for a regular admittance and $350 for the VIP.
We do have some cool things about this that you may want to know. For instance, Delta, the
airline, noticed that we were bringing lots of people in. And so they offered us a discount. Salt
Lake is a very big Delta hub. You’re almost assuredly going to be flying on Delta. But if you type
in the code when you book your flight (the code is in the description here) you will be able to get
a discount for that. So that’s really cool. It’s pretty awesome that Delta noticed that we are
bringing lots of people in.
So, speaking of the convention. So I named this convention Dragonsteel years ago. I was the
one that came up with that. But we always knew it would need something a little bit more. Our
company is named Dragonsteel, right? It gets a little bit confusing. We wanted to take our time.
And I’m actually going to announce our rebrand today. We’ve finally, all of our team, gotten
together and have figured out what we want to call it. Because, you see, there’s this place in the
Cosmere that I have named. And it turns out that part of that name, there are no major
conventions named this. So I actually have a bunch of people with us here from C2E2, where
I’m going to announce—
CROWD: (cheering)
The name of our convention going forward, and it’s going to be Dragonsteel Nexus.
And you’ll find out what the Nexus means as you read further in the Cosmere. But we really like
the idea of bringing people together and things like this. And so we are going to be calling it
Dragonsteel Nexus, or Nexus 2024, if you want to call it that. This is our big announcement.
CROWD: (cheering)
BRANDON: We spent a lot of time on this, so I hope you guys will enjoy that. It’s going to just
work a little bit better. And so, one week from today, tickets for Dragonsteel Nexus 2024 go up.
Grab your ticket early. We do expect to sell out.
And I will be back next week myself with another Weekly Update, I think, unless I’m gone. But I
think I’m going to be here. So thank you for following along, and we’ll see you in a week or so.
