Back to the Roots – Slayers 35th Anniversary Exhibition

I mentioned a few times that my adventure with fandom started thanks to the Polish TV airing Slayers anime. As per the “best school of Polish translations” it was called Magiczni Wojownicy which means Magical Warriors. Yet, I can forgive this, as the show changed my life in a way I didn’t expect then. What is important is that when I was planning my trip to Japan I learned that there will be an exhibition to commemorate 35 years of Slayers… Of course I had to visit it!

What con? Nanicon!

I made an experiment, and decided to visit a manga convention. For some time I was not doing so (apart from special occasions like Magnificon a few years ago), and I was curious whether I will find myself on such event. Conveniently Nanicon took place over a weekend I had a free slot so I went there.

Bazyliszek 2026 Or 300 Cons Later

A week after Eurocon, I travelled to attend Bazyliszek 2026 convention in Warszawa. It is a convention series that I like a lot. Last year they also hosted Polcon, and the team is bidding to host Eurocon in 2029.

Metropolcon Eurocon – A Few Great Days in Berlin

Wow this was a weekend! A long one for sure. The convention started on Thursday with a precon party on Wednesday night. Almost four full days of conventioning is a thing. Tiring, exhausting even, but definitely worth it!

Lajconik 15 – Coming Back to Play

For the last few years I was the staff member for Lajconik which changed the way how I was enjoying the con. Yet at Lajconik 15 I could get back to my “usual” role, or at least close to it.

ChrzanCon – Visiting a Local Event

If I recall correctly, I first heard about the idea for ChrzanCon during Imladris in 2025. Then some time passed and I saw information that the con will take place in March. I wanted to go, but was not sure whether I’ll manage. During KON_gres I learned that a bit of help with the programme would be needed and I decided to try coming…. And so I did.

KON_gres 2026 – Join Us, We Have a Cake

I am late with this report! Surprisingly, other duties occupied me so much that large part of the month passed before I sat down to this report. But enough excuses – let’s talk about KON_gres 2026.

A Short History of Disappointment

Recently I saw an information about a zine exhibition in Kraków. I was excited as I thought it was a great opportunity. Of course I had to go there and see it with my own eyes.

Zjava 15 – opening of the convention season

As usually in recent years I opened convention season with Zjava. This time it was Zjava 15, a nice anniversary. Sadly it fell on the same weekend as the final of Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy (Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity). Because of that I had to choose between convention and a smaller event held by my local club. It was a tough decision, and in the end I decided to go for the con.

New Year – Old Me – A Look Back At 2025

It is hard to believe that 2025 has already passed, but here we are. Was it a good year? Yes, and no. I managed to do some things, but failed with others. Surprisingly I visited fewer conventions than usually but some were pretty important ones.
