Norwescon’s staff gathered around tables in a hotel meeting room, with a Zoom window projects onto one wall.

This past weekend I was the lighting designer for Norwescon #NWC47. It was a great con and I had a lot of fun with it!

Briefly met @danielhwilsonpdx.bsky.social in an elevator at @norwescon.org for #NWC47 and heard about his new book “Hole In The Sky”, exciting premise. Had to go out to my favorite indie bookshop and pre-order.
Can’t wait for October!
And just so #booksky knows, he was so very nice and human.

A few @norwescon.org #NWC47 photos! I didn’t take many photos (too busy/distracted), so I’ve shamelessly supplemented a bit with photos of me that others took.
