Eastercon 2022
26/4/22 15:55Belated witterings about Eastercon 2022 (Reclamation).
It was wonderful. Seeing people I hadn't seen for 2 years, chatting, running to and from panels.
It was exhausting. Seeing people I hadn't seen for 2 years, chatting, running to and from panels. :-)
The 30 mins gap between panels was awesome.
I went to Mary Robinette Kowal and Tasha Suri's GoH interviews and they were both fabulous.
The 3 hour queue to check into the hotel was horrendous. (They did give us a 25% discount on that night's room rate as an apology).
The bit I was dreading the most was the coach journeys to and from Heathrow. But the coaches were not at all crowded and the terrible traffic the media was predicting never materialised.
The cheap con food was never available in the real ale bar when I went looking for it. So I survived on their sandwich meal deals and eating the nice, but expensive, hotel bar food. And grazing on the free chocolate eggs left out by one of the bid sessions.
Everyone was being very good about masks. But two of the people I hung out with at the con tested positive for Covid when they got home. I tested negative.
