WisCon 45: Day Four
I basically did three things at WisCon today: the time loop panel that I moderated, which was really fun and left me with like a dozen recs; the post-mortem discussion, which I don't think I've ever attended before; and about an hour of hanging out and chatting with justira, who was co-chair of the con this year and finally had some time to chill. I could have more to say about all these things, but it's quite late and I have morning meetings tomorrow, so I should probably leave it at that. Now I'm home with T, my kitty, and a negative test result (so far, so good -- I also tested every morning at the con and all was well; I plan to rapid test for at least the next few days and possibly get a PCR later this week).
Anyway, I'm really tired and I'm really happy. I needed this weekend, and I'm so grateful for everyone who made it happen. I hope things are better enough that I can see more of you in 2023!

Two more days, two more negatives! I'll probably test daily until Saturday and then presume I'm okay unless symptoms pop up.

If WisCon had been in driving distance, I would have felt far more secure about it. What kinds of precautions is BayCon taking? Mask policies, distancing/lowering room capacities, bringing in air filters? I really appreciated that WisCon built air purifiers out of furnace filters and box fans (aka Cori-Rosenthal filters) and put them in every con room, more than one in larger spaces. I feel like they made a big difference.
I'm still undecided about WorldCon myself; right now I'm leaning yes, but I haven't gotten a hotel room yet. Might depend on how many other folks go and how expensive flights are.
