Dream cons are bollocks - Run Your Own F**kin' Con
http://robinpen.livejournal.com/21761.html
Run Your Own F* kin Con. In memory of Con-Tiki : the dream con never to be. Dream cons are bollocks. 15th Mar, 2010 at 12:25 PM. I'm giving over my lj for a time to a project designed to get something out of my system. My plan is to deal out, in no particular order, my thoughts about small science fiction conventions, and the running thereof, based on my experiences with Perth's Swancon. Okay, here goes. For those enthusiastically thinking of running a convention. YOU DO NOT GET TO GO TO THE CONVENTION Y.

Draino's Diary: July 2009

Wednesday, 15 July 2009. I found out on Monday that the status of my UNI course is now complete! That means no more UNI. Ever. In other news; I am hopefully getting an iPhone. I still have no work, which is making me quite annoyed as I will have to consider a random (non-career) job. Thursday, 9 July 2009. Has been and it was an absolute blast! Previews) night was very very cold! We heard Spike Spencer. This was by far the most awesome day of them all! Stand and bought some anime :P. Stuff signed by him.

Apr 7th, 2015. The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula Le Guin. I enjoyed Swancon on Friday and spent most of the rest of Easter reading or rereading books mentioned in the panels I attended. In the "Looking Beyond the Left Hand: Gender and Sexuality in Contemporary SF" panel, someone mentioned that Le Guin had made a big mistake in using the pronoun "he" for the androgynous Gethenians. Genly tells us in the first chapter "I don't trust Estraven, whose motives are forever obscure; I don't like him.". Not far...
