Arcadiagt5Well, #SwanCon has concluded for another year. So it’s time to play #BufferingRoulette with the hotel wifi and #TheFoodDiaryOfMissMaid
WELP, Shasta ran out of time for the Ghibli panel but she REALLY knows her stuff and I really enjoyed listening to what she had to say. #SwanCon
Tried to get lunch at the #SwanCon hotel restaurant- looked at the queue and despaired of getting an order in and food by the Studio Ghibli panel so I’ll do that afterwards.
Fairly pleasant day at #SwanCon today. I even went to a couple of panels, and played a couple of board games. Then went out for dinner with some old friends. Given the weather and the hour I didn’t return to the Con afterwards.
leeceSo 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.

rdmOverheard at #Swancon50 : "Has anyone seen the 'Lost and Found' box?"
OK, so I got pretty tired pretty early today at #SwanCon so I’ve retreated to Scarborough for an early night and will go get dinner soon. There may be some anime later. Or possibly even now.
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.

Back at the hotel after chatting to some friends at #Swancon and also after some food. Time for some anime and #HaibarasTeenageNewGame
Alright, I suppose I should brave the freeway and drive to #SwanCon for registration, maybe catch up with a few people for a board game or two.
