Norwescon ahead! April 6-9 (Patreon)

Cross-posting with the website blog, since people probably come here more often.

For anyone in the Seattle area, Norwescon is here again next weekend, April 6-9 at the big ol’ Doubletree Hilton in SeaTac. I’ve paneled a bunch of times at Norwescon but missed last year, so I’m happy to be back. If you’re in the area and up for a con, click the link and give it a look!

I’m also happy to report Norwescon has a mask mandate this year. Yes, I said I’m happy for that. No, I don’t love masks in general, but I’m happy whenever an event takes covid seriously and I’ll be even happier to not get con crud!

To my knowledge, none of this is planned to go online, but I wouldn't be surprised if there may be some stuff streamed or uploaded later. I see nothing on the site about that and I feel like we'd have big flashing signs pointing in that direction. But if anything comes up along those lines, I'll be happy to share.

Turns out I’ve got a busy panel schedule, too. If anyone’s interested, I’ll be at:
