Convention Reporter

Alison Coad says practically nothing at all about Worldcon. Alma Alexander had a long trip home but before that she had this to say. Amy Sturgis notices a fun badge and survives the end of Worldcon. Christopher Garcia has a question about the Hugos if you feel up for a discussion. Frank Wu reviews his Worldcon.

Jenny has updated the promised pictorial guide here - with a link to her flickr album for higher resolution shots. Karen Burnham wraps up – the con that is..Kevin tours Montreal in his copious spare time. Matthew gives an attempt to sum up Anticipation. Claude Lalumière gives a last tour here. Tobias Buckell tells some stories about his visit – one of which was an ER visit!

Et voilà, c’est fini…Lionel Davoust.

PS – and Cheryl is still stuck in Montreal. Here’s hoping today sees her safely home.

Today’s post can not start anywhere without congratulating all the nominees this year and whoops of joy for those who won.

We have good cause to celebrate as our own Cheryl Morgan won the Hugo for Best fan writer.

Pablo kept the Tor site updated as the night progressed with the list of winners and their field of competition. The new Hugo Logo was unveiled and can be seen here on the Hugo website along with the list of winners and a picture of this years award.

Alma Alexander promises pictures, in the meantime tells all about her last 2 days in Montreal. Bob Neilson discusses whether size matters. Jay Lake assures us that both pre- and post-[hugo-]parties were great fun. Jenny gives a charming description of the night of the Hugos. I can imagine being there. John Scalzi is happy with his Hugo. Kate Heartfield discusses what counts as SF prior to the Hugos.

Kevin updates on the Hugo logo and Hugo winners enthusiastically. Neil Gaiman thanks Charlie N. Brown and talks about his Hugo.

For those of you reading in French Lionel Davoust has updates.

terilee07 has a good reason to attend conventions. I went to my first only a few years ago and would have to agree wholeheartedly.

Photos from Rani Graff here. Photos from the Masquerade here.

I won’t go to twitter because mostly attendees are in recovery and congratulations are still coming in from all over.
