We finally get around to talking about Eastercon! This is a bumper episode, where we recap parts of Iridescence and talk about the bids for 2028, 2029, and beyond. We promise we’ll do letters of comment again next week.

Everyone knows that koalas love eucalyptus. But this tiny koala also loves munching on Easter branches. So if you got a tiny koala at the Brisbane in 2028 Worldcon bid table at Eastercon, watch out, cause these little fellows eat a lot. #Eastercon #Brisbane2028 #Birmingham
My Eastercon haul: Books, steampunky jewellery and geeky t-shirts. In short, all the good stuff. #Eastercon #Birmingham

Back home from #Eastercon . Time to use the rest of the day productively!

About to go. Had a good time in spite of the whining the afternoon it really hit me. The people from the anime con were lovely and definitely fun sharing the hotel with them. Same time next year.

I completely failed to toot here about #Eastercon, did I not? What a clot I am!

I had a very good one socially, my mental and physical health remained out of the gutter, and (given that I didn’t have a new book out to lure punters) my dealer sales were healthy, too.

I hope I can afford to attend next year in Glasgow.

Fanfic as resistance panel - so many thinky thoughts that I'm going to have to watch the replay to scribble some of them down.
