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!

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.
