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!

Dammit, I tested positive for #Covid at #Eastercon. Hope there aren't too many others.

10.30am, #Eastercon Monday, my reading in Salisbury Wellington will be the first extract from the next Green Man book and you'll learn the title - coming this September from Wizard's Tower Press. Plus a new extract from The Riven Kingdom, the new epic fantasy novel out this October from Angry Robot.

Off to tourism of the imagination panel. Will be interesting - I had a shock a few years ago to discover the place we went to for summer holidays when I was wee was now a Game of Thrones tourist attraction. Not sure what the tourists make of the ice cream and dulse van. 😆
-
So by the time I'd got lost in the Metropole and then dealt with someone else's dropped wallet I was not going to have time to rest/eat/caffeine/meds before the panel I really wanted to see. I thought I'd just nip back to my room for the caffeine and meds, and by the time I'd had half a hot cross bun and the meds realised that the rest of it wasn't optional. Hope the talk is on catch up.
Thirty years ago I would go to something in nearly every panel slot, be up to 1am every night, drive home, and be back at work the next day. Getting older is not fun, even if it's better than the alternative.
At least the wonders of modern technology mean I can whine about it on the internet in real time instead of having to wait until I get home. 🤣

Is it just me, or when a panel moderator mentions the discord, does anyone else hear "Discworld"?

Entirely too busy having fascinating conversations at #Eastercon to be posting on social media today 😊

This is why I should not be allowed in the dealers room when I don't have a grown-up with me.

Day two of #eastercon and I actually made it to some programming- the excellent BSFA lecture and a panel on food sustainability. Even had a wander over to the #haruhicon dealers room.

It's a little known fact that tiny koalas love to read. Get your own tiny koala at the Brisbane in 2028 Worldcon bid table at Eastercon in Birmingham. #Eastercon #Birmingham #Brisbane2028

Anyway, hiding in my room again because one of the lights in Balmoral is flickering and between that and the mask pressure point I need a break. Having bailed from the panel in Balmoral I went to the art show where amongst other things I bought an Anne Stokes colouring book, which may make an appearance at the fountain pen meet this afternoon.
Naturally, a large proportion of panels I actively want to go to are in Balmoral. Reported to Ops, so hopefully the hotel will be able to do something about it overnight.

Cthulhu has found a friend. Pick up your own tiny koala at the Brisbane in 2038 Worldcon bid table at Eastercon in Birmingham. #Eastercon #Birmingham #Brisbane2028

If you're at Eastercon in Birmingham, drop by at the Brisbane in 2028 Worldcon bid table and say hello. We have restocked on candy and swag, including our popular tiny koalas. But if you want to cuddle our lobster, you need to presupport. #Eastercon #Brisbane2028 #Birmingham

This morning’s #eastercon story. I could not turn the shower on. Knob simply wouldn’t turn. Had a bath instead, but then reported it to the concierge desk. Maintenance guy comes up. Strong looking bloke, just turns it on. I tried it. Just worked. Now.
He did say that they’d had builders staying with them. So my theory is that my room’s last occupant turned off the shower like he was tightening the lug nuts on a 44 tonne truck.
How’s your day going? 😁

Extremely underwhelmed by this hotel breakfast, and by the lack of HP sauce to cover its failings.
And hotel breakfast is one of the few things on the short list of "I can eat some of that even when I have migraine" , so it's not the noise in here triggering migraine.

Why I love conventions. Part n in an infinite series. This evening involved hardcore SMOFing; chats about leaving the catholic church; random shite; meeting new people; reading ideas on stories about fucked up LLMs in SF; almost making a dear friend spit out his beer and discussions on the meaning of "tea-bagging." What will we talk about tomorrow?! #Eastercon

Got to #eastercon , thought I'd have a pint after the drive. Bar shut for technical reasons. Arggg.
Fortunately now open again; riot averted...

I somehow found myself on an Eastercon panel memorialising David Lynch as a token person who has never written or edited a book. I don't know what attendees made of it but we enjoyed ourselves yapping away about Lynch's work.
I'm the one on the left - to the right we have Maura McHugh, Gary Couzens, Lynda Rucker, and Jonathan Laidlow.

Episode 133, live from Reconnect, the 2025 Eastercon in Belfast, is here! We discuss the fun we’ve had at the convention, and also discuss other forthcoming Eastercons through to 2030. It's possibly more coherent than some other live episodes?
