I'm back home, after an absolutely brilliant time at EasterCon!
This is me in my Starfleet uniform, Next Generation era.
It's not just dressing up - there were also fascinating panels on folklore and fantasy, 100 years of Anne McCaffrey, archaeology, how to find hope in a darkening world (with reference to grimdark fantasy), climate change, AI, and there was a lot of emphasis on finding community in a hostile world, and welcoming all sorts of diversity. Also, I got to hang out with some really lovely people.
We were also sharing space with an anime con - lots of costumes, and generally a much younger fan base, and we all got along so well that we want to do it again, maybe with even more integration between the cons next time.
I'm already looking forward to next year in Glasgow!
