A Recap
The Myths
The Mission
Join the CMA!
The California Myth Authority is responsible for safe-guarding California in the public imagination. Our humble department has existed since the days of the Bear Flag Republic. We’ve worked closely with everyone from Steinbeck (a noble pain) to Brian Wilson (odd fellow) to help shape California legend. It is our responsibility to seperate fact from fiction (and occasionally blur the line when it’s to the republic’s advantage).
Unfortunately, our records are a little out of sorts right now. We assure you, the bumbling bureaucrat responsible is not enjoying his new posting in our remote Mojave branch office.
We need your help tracking down the myths, legends and perceptions that make our state. There are a great many facts to sort, challenges to meet and myths to update.
At stake is a permanent position at the CMA for the winning team and, nothing less than the good name of the California Republic.
Come to the Gaming Pavilion at the ALA conference on June 28 and 29th to join a team and get into the game.
Are you ready to join the hunt?

The California Myth Authority recommends
For this hunt across the ALA Conference, the most important thing you'll need to bring is all of your smarts and gumption. However it might not hurt to have the following:
- A laptop or some means to access the Internet. It's not required by any means, but some trivia may need research.
- A digital camera. We'll have two cameras to borrow to recreate myths. But having your own will make your life easier.
- Walking shoes. Clues and challenges will be spread around the convention.
