A convention fix was had

I'm home from Swancon and having a recovery day!

It was an excellent convention and I'm very pleased to witness the con's revival, after several years in the doldrums following Covid, when all we had was a daytime event at a community centre. This was also Swancon 50 AND an Australian Natcon, so it felt like absolutely everyone fannish I had ever known was there.

The weekend also featured what they're calling the most violent storm in 50 years, so a bit more than the prediction. My balcony plants are okay, but the storm had plenty to say to one of the carports at the apartment complex. By carport I mean it's a tin roof on supports, so no walls or door. Said tin roof has taken a bit of a dive. I have pictures, along with the obligatory "this was my room for the con" and the view of the carpark!

Glad to hear that you had a great time at the con and that it was back up to previous standards. It's nice when you see lots of familiar faces. Also glad that you survived the storm! The carport does look a bit worse for wear!
