Now, almost four decades to the day, we celebrate Darkon\u2019s 40th anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, we have an amazing new historic venue as well!<br><br>So, the details:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Venue: The Carriage House in Columbia Maryland<\/strong>, 5410 Leaf Treader Way, Columbia, MD 21044<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Date: Saturday, October 25th<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Time: 6pm-11pm<\/strong>&nbsp;(those who wish to set up their tables may arrive at 5pm to do so)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Tickets are $30, and may be purchased from September 19 through October 18<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>This price covers entry, the full meal (menu posted below), an evening\u2019s entertainment with Cyanwoode and other musicians of the Realm, an awards ceremony, a raffle, Darkon Coin gambling (roulette table!), and perhaps a few surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>You can get your tickets via the PayPal link below, or during check-in at any event now through Bardstock. However, it is first come first serve, as we\u2019re capped at 150 attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Also, we will record your name, but there will be no physical ticket issued\u2014you will sign in at the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Tickets help reimburse the costs incurred by the club, therefore anyone on the grounds of The Carriage House must have previously purchased a ticket, regardless of whether they intend to eat dinner or simply relax and enjoy the company and festivities. For planning purposes, tickets will not be available at the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PayPal Link! <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/ncp\/payment\/RZCU2ELS3E4NN\">https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/ncp\/payment\/RZCU2ELS3E4NN<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"792\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.darkon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/att.4Lf3bWmwYYs95_I74dsMSEFiuuTKaeEyO3wb6fooY5A-1-792x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.darkon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/att.4Lf3bWmwYYs95_I74dsMSEFiuuTKaeEyO3wb6fooY5A-1-792x1024.jpg 792w, https:\/\/www.darkon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/att.4Lf3bWmwYYs95_I74dsMSEFiuuTKaeEyO3wb6fooY5A-1-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/www.darkon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/att.4Lf3bWmwYYs95_I74dsMSEFiuuTKaeEyO3wb6fooY5A-1-768x994.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.darkon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/att.4Lf3bWmwYYs95_I74dsMSEFiuuTKaeEyO3wb6fooY5A-1-1187x1536.jpg 1187w, https:\/\/www.darkon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/att.4Lf3bWmwYYs95_I74dsMSEFiuuTKaeEyO3wb6fooY5A-1-1024x1325.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.darkon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/att.4Lf3bWmwYYs95_I74dsMSEFiuuTKaeEyO3wb6fooY5A-1.jpg 1546w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In October of 1985, a few friends met at Patapsco<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkon.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkon.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkon.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.darkon.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.darkon.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3535"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.darkon.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3535\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3550,"href":"https:\/\/www.darkon.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3535\/revisions\/3550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkon.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.darkon.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.darkon.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
