It has been a while but: still here, alive and safe! Our baby is almost reaching his new milestone: 6 months! Other good news is: our house improvements are slowly reaching their end AND our vaccine invitation letter will soon arrive as well. I am getting the vaccine, for myself but mostly for older people. I want my grandma to see my baby for example. To enjoy back the "normal" little things. Like going to a playground, do a spontaneous BBQ, going to the movies,... To be honest it has been 2,5 years easily that we went to a restaurant. (we are more take-away people then eating out )

Yet it would be nice to enjoy this again together with my full family or mostly my friends. It has been tough for everyone missing out on A LOT, that is for sure!

As for conventions, we will see but I do not want to take big risks too soon. Music:

• Greenday, Weezer and Fallout Boy concert => postponed to 21rst june 2022

• Full Graspop Metal Meeting festival => postponed to 16-19th june 2022

Cosplay/LARP conventions:

• Elfia Arcen (NL) 18-19th September

• Made in Asia (BE) => 08-10th October (skipping)

• FACTS (BE) 06-07th November

I am doing fine and still safe! House improvements are slowly advancing and our baby is almost 2 months old! Nothing much to add aside, we are slowly seeing positive "normal" future! Vaccine of covid-19 is slowly advancing in my country, and thus some conventions are giving some perspective.

Music:

• Greenday, Weezer and Fallout Boy concert => postponed 21rst june 2021*

• Full Graspop Metal Meeting festival => postponed june 2022

*uncertain - to be announced

I am still fine and safe. Belgium is again in a lockdown, we started on the 2nd November. It will continue at least until 13th December due to too many victims in intensive care and too many deaths. It is still a bit surreel, because I truly hoped many people learned from the first lockdown and yet we are here, in a much worse situation than the first.

Covid-19 virus is still impacting everything in our lives. Including the entertainment sector. We still don't have any cosplay/LARP conventions or music concerts/festivals. Therefore it is impossible to provide any calendar for now. Hopefully Graspop metal meeting will be possible (end June 2021) but it is best to await the situation.

For now there is not much sharable Deviantart content but you can find more creative projects on my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/mysteriousmaemi/ .

Thank you for your support in these unusual times! It is not easy. For this (and being a bit in an early holiday spirit) here is a pre season sale on Etsy: https://www.storenvy.com/stores/925436-mysteriousmaemi . Please enjoy! (DM me if you have shipping questions)

I am still doing fine. We continue our teleworking and of course our house improvements. These last ones are finally, slowly coming to an end. A good thing because our family is going to expand this December: normally on 12/12!

Covid-19 virus is still worldwide existing and continues having impact on everyone's life. Therefore future conventions changes are indicated with * .

Please try to stay positive in these rare, difficult virus times. Remember you are not alone and don't forget to follow the measurements your country announced (mouth masks, social distancing, washing your hands). Only together we can downsize the impact of this nasty plague!
