Minicon 55
Apr. 14th, 2022 06:50 pmMinicon 55, twice postponed and long anticipated, is being held in person this weekend.
I am not attending most of it, having decided that doing so is a bit too risky for me personally.
At the moment, I'm planning to ride in to the hotel with David on Friday, to attend the panel "Archiving SF," which runs from four to five p.m. and in which he'll be showing some of the photos he's been working on by various fannish photographers including himself. I might put my head into the art show to see his handful of prints hanging up. I'm hoping to have a chat with Jo, and wave or yell behind my mask to a few more people, but then I am going home and sadly staying there. It looks like a really good program; I would attend many panels, ordinarily, out of this batch; I would plant myself in the music room and just listen to every single musician's concert. I would have meals with good friends and acquaintances and a few new people, with luck.
But for me, with my comorbidities and diabetes, I think it's too risky. Minicon requires vaccination and a booster and masking in public spaces except for those designated for eating and drinking. I think these precautions are sensible, but maybe not for me. So David cancelled one of our hotel rooms, and I have not had to do a lot of laundry.
I hope everyone who goes has a lovely safe time.
