So the last day of MerMay it seemed like everyone at Swancon 50 wanted to talk, for me to get them things, and to bump the table. But me and the Kakimori and the bottle of Rainbow Scarab got through it all.
It's been a great MerMay, and thank you for traveling along with me.

Super poor light I'm afraid, but we're here in a hotel with dim light and a storm lowering outside, and a hurried drawing in the heritage ballroom.
Off to a Panel soon and then The Masquerade!
I think it's mainly Azure Kingfisher.

Registration opened on time! It's been awesomely organized!
Well Swancon 50 has seen a lot of blasts from the past! The guest banquet was good, our table had Grant Stone and Tom Becker and Leigh Edmonds and a SF radio guy from Adelaide whose name I don't recall so talk was of fanzines and radio.
Wandered around after talking, had a game of Wombat Poo, and @rdm was shocked to learn he's been short listed for a Ditmar and twoTin Ducks, he hadn't been informed, and only found out by reading the con book.
Bedtime now.

Just to remind everyone in #PerthWesternAustralia that #Swancon50 is on this weekend, and if it's your first time a one day membership is pay what you feel. @rdm would be chuffed if you came to his book launch!
I'd be thrilled if you came to see my artwork.
Check out our Ugg-Tect panel game!

It is hard to do autumn garden things, when it is going to be 27C and you are hand watering everything.

Well today @rdm 's first book of short stories #ShortStoriesFromADistractedMind is now available on all the usual electronic formats as well as in paper form at Boundless Books in Oxford Street, Leederville. He, and I'd be thrilled if you checked it out! Will you be the first to review?

It's a bunch of microfiction - flash fiction - with #ScienceFiction #Fantasy and even a little horror. He's also called me an editor, gosh.
So now #PerthWesternAustralia has one more writer. If you are going to #Swancon50 in just a few short weeks you could get a physical copy signed at the book launch.
