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.
SMOFcon 42 – Don’t Panic and Appreciate Your Towel
is SMOFcon 42 was my second in person Smofcon. It took me eight years to come back to this con, and my experience this time was quite different. Over the course of those years I learned a lot, and I met many people. Not to mention that the world itself has changed a lot too!

Imladris XXIII – Coming back to the Last Homely House
For me Imladris is a very dear convention. Back in 2003 it was my first SFF con to attend. Because of that it has a special place in my heart. It also has a special atmosphere that I treasure a lot. Last year because of a cold I didn’t manage to attend it but this year I visited Imladris XXIII.

Opolcon 2025 – Or Should I Be Writing a Review
I wanted to visit Opolcon for years. Yet every time something was standing in my way. More than once it was a concurrent convention in another place. This year the situation was similar but I decided that I need to finally attend Opolcon.

Geek Guide to Wisła
There is one good thing about forgetfulness – one can get excited by something more than once. Last year I did a hike from Ustroń to Wisła. Once I reached my destination, I saw an information about a historic villa called Ochorowiczówka. It was a home for a Museum of Magical Realism. Yet it was too late (and I was too tired) to see it. Then I forgot about the museum – I just recalled the villa being there.
