Can Con 2016 Day 3

13/9/2016

Good morning, Readers!

That above image was me when the convention ended.

I woke up Sunday quite sad.  It was the last day of Can Con and that made me very sad.  It had thus far been a fantastic convention and, though I was exhausted, I was sad to see it all come to a close.

I consider myself very fortunate in that I had nothing more than a reading Sunday, and so could spend the majority of my time at my table, surrounded by fantastic people.  And so that's what I did, from 10am until just before 1pm.

That's when I had my reading.  It went alright.  Everyone always tells you that you read really well, but I know for a fact that words went missing, were added in, skipped over, mispronounced, and stuttered.  Still, it was very fun, and I was in great company, both with my fellow readers (Erik Buchanan and Nicole Lavigne) and the audience.

Thanks everyone who came to the reading.  You're all awesome.

I spent the last hour of the convention in the vendor's room, chatting with awesome people.  The fabulous Jay Odjick dropped by for a chat.  He's such a fantastic guy, and doing lots of amazing things.  You should really check out his stuff.

And then, just like that, it was over.  Three o;clock hit and that was it.  The convention was over.  I hung around for a little bit longer, slowly packing away my things, feeling very sad.  I was very tired, and very hungry, and so happy.

This was, genuinely, the best Can Con I have ever attended, and I so, so, so, grateful to everyone involved - from the most excellent volunteers who busted their arses this convention, to fellow attendees and panellists, the fantastic guests of honour, and, of course, the organising team - Nicole Lavigne, Brandon Crilly, Evan May and the convention co-chairs Derek Künsken and Marie Bilodeau.

My goodness you've all outdone yourselves this year.  I cannot wait until next year.

Thank you.  Thank you.  A thousand times, thank you.
Other great recaps of the weekend can be found by Susan N (also known as Jaggy Sue) and JenEric Designs.
