Norwescon is the largest science fiction and fantasy
convention in the Pacific Northwest with an emphasis on writing. They capped
their in-person membership at one thousand this year, less than half their
usual. This was much better than last year, when it was all virtual—obviously. And
it was much better for me, since I could find parking spaces at the hotel and
pay the convention rate instead of the sky-high prices in the parking garages.
As usual, a Dalek was hanging around.
I assume it could exterminate its way into the parking lot.
And Iron Man could always jet in.
Cat Rambo was the Writer Guest of Honor. She has given me helpful advice in the past on writing. She actually remembered me, which was surprising.
They also started the Norwescon Speculative Film Fest, which
they hope to make an annual event. They showed short films from around the
globe. I stayed long enough to see one from Japan about virtual reality and one
from France about something mysterious killing sheep—is it human or something
else?
