*sigh* Despite our best efforts to minimise concrud from Continuum 16, we unfortunately are aware of a number of attendees and committee members who have tested positive to Covid.
If you attended Continuum this year, we strongly recommend you test yourself, and above all, look after yourself.
Two hours until the start of the long awaited Continuum 16: Reboot! (ARGH!)
If you're planning on being active on the social media, use hashtag #c16Reboot so we can easily find all of the awesome!
See you soon.
Less than 24 hours until... Continuum!
The Guests of Honour have all arrived, the panels are scheduled, the karaoke machine is paid for, the venue is mapped, and the con committee is all sleep deprived. We're ready, are you?
Coming to Continuum this weekend (eek!) and not sure what you should bring? Well, this is what's in the bag of one of our con committee!
— Lanyard (badges optional)
— Water bottle
— Notebook
— Reusable cutlery
— Painkillers (ibuprofen and paracetamol)
— a random fidget toy
— a craft
— reusable tote bag
— full set of dice, just in case
— a fan, because the Jasper’s temperature varies
— a mask
— ear buds
— hand sanitiser
— phone charger (battery and wall)
— phone charging cord
— pen case with highlighters etc
Tickets are still available at TryBooking (https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1124813), or at the rego desk but they will be more expensive on the day.
As part of Continuum 15 we got pins made... which didn't actually arrive in time for the convention.
As a result we are selling them, one con and a few years later. They will be $15 each, or two for $25, and will be available from the rego desk.
To preorder email [email protected]
Interested in checking out a little bit of what Continuum 16: Reboot has to offer? Friday only memberships are available for just $5, payable at the door!
Come along to panels on Continuum 101 or the movie Barbie, a discussion on Your Worst Nightmare, or the Roundtable on writing smut, and more!
As part of our book swap at Continuum 16: Reboot, we will be passing all donations on to the Indigenous Literacy Fund so they can gift culturally relevant books to remote First Nations communications.
