Award administrator Gordon Van Gelder and nominees William Alexander, Koji A. Dae, and Thomas Ha in a panel discussing Philip K. Dick, their work, and the award.
Koji A. Dae signs a poster print of her book cover.
William Alexander signs a poster print of his book cover.
Me ready for the evening, wearing a black kilt and a shirt that says, “This man isn’t wearing any pants!”
Day two of Norwescon for me is almost entirely about the Philip K. Dick Awards. The attending authors have a panel in the afternoon, then a small private social, then a fancy dinner, followed by the award ceremony. Congratulations to M. R. Carey for winning […]

Close-up shot of a molded metal dragon with long horns and jeweled eyes perched on the top of a staff.
The topper of a staff seen in the dealers' room at Norwescon 29 in 2006, the first year I went to Norwescon. 20 years later, I'm now sitting in my hotel room at Norwescon 48 in 2026 (we lost a year to Covid, so the numbers seem off) as I prep the next few […]

A captioning screen that says, “Welcome to Norwescon. Close enough.” Apparently the tech was less enthusiastic than the people were.
From the opening ceremonies, our five guests of honor (two men and three women) seated on stage under a projection screen showing the Norwescon logo over art of a young girl reading a book to a dragon in a field of flowers. On stage from left to right are body painter Dutch Bihary, Bradley Engelert of Orbit Books, astrophysicist Summer Ash, artist Geneva Bowers, author Ursula Vernon a.k.a. T. Kingfisher, and host Jon Lavinder.
During the “how to fandom dance” panel, a small group of people on a dance floor are in a circle with one in the center mid-jump; in the foreground is a laptop running DJ software playing Boney M’s “Rasputin”.
During the dance, I stand on stage behind a table with a laptop and DJ mixer. The stage is lit in blues and greens. Behind me is a large projection screen showing fancy graphics, including the art for the songs being played and the artist and title of the currently playing track. Two Daleks flank me on either side of the stage. Photo courtesy of Pascale, one of the attendees.
Yesterday was Norwescon day one! A morning of helping to get things prepped, lunch and a necessary nap time, then the evening run of the opening ceremonies, providing music for the “how to fandom dance” panel, and them DJing the Thursday night dance. The […]

Me, a white guy wearing a black cap, black kilt, and t-shirt that says, “Stop forcing A.I. into fucking everything. Nobody asked for it, everybody hates it.”
Norwescon day one, first shirt. I’m subtle about my opinions. ;)

Me, a white guy with trimmed red beard, wearing a cap, hoodie, and t-shirt with a Star Trek red alert graphic that says “everything’s fucked”, standing in front of a large ballroom with stacks of boxes being guarded by a large dragon plushie and stage equipment being assembled in the distance.
People loading carts off of a moving truck.
Two Daleks next to heavy duty equipment cases as the stage is being assembled.
A hotel hallway with empty cloth-covered tables waiting for their organizations to arrive and get set up.
Yesterday was day zero of Norwescon - loading things in, setting them up, and getting the hotel ready for the con.

Wednesday afternoon, we’re strapping four people to the top of a giant explosion-on-a-stick and hoping we can get ‘em to whip around the moon a few times before falling back down. I’ve seen oddly little excitement or even news about this. We’re going back to the moon! Sure, best-case scenario […]
