Worldcon this week

Envious of my friends (including some St A CS folks!) who are heading to the Glasgow Worldcon this week. Sadly though we have in person attending tickets we can't go. I'm far too seriously ill now to manage it. Plus the infection risk is too high for severely immunosuppressed me. We can use the streaming part of our tickets though, both during the event, and on catchup after through to Christmas. So will get to see lots. Have fun folks going!

Very unlikely to be London again. 2014 was a collision of a number of factors that made the Excel Centre (just) affordable. London is just too expensive for the budget of a Worldcon without those factors. Hence why 79, 87 were in Brighton, 95, 05 and 24 in Glasgow. 57 and 65 were in London, but that was another age. Dublin is so far uncontested for 2029.
