WisCONline: Day Four
Today was basically just some Discord chatting (mostly in the Postmortem thread and the Fond Farewell) and a video call with other members of the concom. The transition back to everyday life has begun, starting with closing my laptop and moving it back upstairs once I've finished this post.
I'll probably have longer, more complete thoughts on the online con experience later, when I'm a little more awake and after I've had time to digest. For now, I just want to say how happy I am that the shift to an online con was a success. Perfect, no, I'm sure there are many things that we can point to that could have gone better (and I'm sure we'll hear about all of them in the days to come). I can think of a few myself. But thanks to the heroic efforts of many people, we were able to pivot from an in-person to an online con in less than two months, which frankly feels like a goddamn miracle. Thank you, heartily, to everyone who put in the blood, sweat, and tears to make that goddamn miracle happen. I'm so happy we didn't have to have a year without a WisCon. I look forward to making the return to Madison someday.
