I had a great time this weekend as the Guest of Honor at Boskone 58. They were amazing, really well organized and even better at putting together a convention than Gen Con and Dragon Con.

But in today's Stories from the Road, I share my frustration with online conventions. No answers. I don't know how to fix these problems. But they exist.

Online Conventions make them all local but the problem with local conventions is as you said life gets in the way. I live in Atlanta but stay at the hotel for Dragoncon because otherwise you exit the "world" of the con. One way to change the situation is to pretend you are away and hide in your office. I think the real issue is that all the attendees of the con are leaving the "world" of the con and going back to thier real lives. Virtual cons are nice but they aren't different than youtube or Disney+. For me the best part of the con is being disconnected from my responsibilities for a while

Yup life gets in the way, no matter how you try to segment it away from the convention.
