I’m in full swing at Norwescon 44, a return to the in-person convention. It’s great seeing the familiar Seattle and beyond bunch, with the new faces of course, despite being capped at a lower than usual number. There’s still a virtual component by donation, with unlimited invitation. My panel schedule is listed below.
