Redemption reviewed

As some of you know, I went to redemption_con over the weekend.

I had an absolutely splendid time, overall. The journey up went well, which is always a good start to any convention, because it meant I didn't arrive hassled to death. The second good thing was that I remembered to book my dinner on arrival rather than going hungry then wondering what had happened as I'm inclined to do.

WiFi worked in the hotel, which was excellent even if the number of geeks meant it ran slow some of the time.

I arrived in time to attend a talk on skeptics (the k is intentional, despite not being British spelling) at the convention, which covered issues of most interest to skeptics. My only point at this discussion was to raise the issue of mental illness. ( Long con review-ish thing if you click through )

Conventions in the future

And finally, I'm signed up for two conventions over the next couple of years – the first is the Eastercon next year, Satellite 4, which will be in Glasgow and Redemption 2015, which is planned to be in Coventry in February 2015. They'll give me something to look forward to.
