threemonkeysDamn allergies. They did their best to curtail my weekend. Luckily the pharmaceutical industry came to my aid and I was able to attend a good chunk of Au Contraire. Although I think some of the attendees got sick of me asking if my eyes had turned red again, signaling the need to go put some more drops in them. After sleeping for most of the last 14 hours, I think I might be through the worst of it. Although the number of typos I'm having to correct as I go may suggest otherwise. Lets hope I'm through it because there is another con to go to in a couple of days.
On the subject of Au Contraire, I have to say that I thought it went extraordinarily well. The concom are to be really congratulated on delivering what they promised - a con that broke the mold and gave people a lot of enjoyment. I don't think I have ever heard so many positive comments from people about how well they think a con has been run. The tactic of running the con immediately before Worldcon was a success with a large number of international visitors who contributed so much to the flavour of the con and boosted attendance to heights not seen for at least 10 years.
While on the subject of congratulations, lots of applause for the SJV winners. Official announcement of the awards will come out soon (as soon as the notifications are sent out), but you can find out from the live blog feed of the award ceremony.
By the way, would anybody like to run the Natcon in 2012? Would you? The end of the world Natcon.
