Natterings From Nepantla

National politics force some vendors to be banned from a convention. Not in the US, though I'm sure our turn is coming.

Another long-running con is hitting the breaking point. There's a boom in Worldcon bids, though.

How about a little good news about the 2023 Hugos for a change? OTOH, the Gen Con trial has been delayed again...

Does it seem quaint that the most lasting issue of the 2023 Hugo drama is just trying to get the trophies repaired and distributed?

For that matter, does it seem quaint that two years ago, some people were scared that the Chinese government might disappear them at the airport over their social media posts?

It turns out that you should not try to put a dealers' room on top of a layer of ice. Also, Worldcon at last!
