One of the people I met during my GUFF trip back in 2018 was Kat Clay. She interviewed me at Continuum 14 and our picture from this programme item is one of my favourites. This year she decided to stand for GUFF herself. I had the pleasure to be one of Kat’s European nominators. I thought it may be good to introduce her to my readers and hopefully convince you to vote for her (and the vorting period clsoes next week!).
Levitation 2024 Eastercon
Conventions held over Easter weekend are difficult for me to attend. Twice (in 2018 and 2019) I managed to travel to Eastercon but in usual circumstances my family likes to have me around. Yet in recent years it was possible to join Eastercon remotely. This opened a “new era” of Eastercon participation for me.
EFF 2024 Race Results Announcement
It is our pleasure and duty to announce the results of the second EFF race.
There were two candidates: Jane Mondrup from Denmark and Joro Penchev from Bulgaria.
KON_gres 2024 – Smoffing and Sightseeing
KON_gres 2024 was held in Gniezno. On one hand I was unhappy as it was quite far from Krakow. On the other hand it meant I was finally able to attend a convention by Fantasmagoria society. I wanted to attend their flagship con – Fantasmagoria for years. Yet it was always held in the dates when I couldn’t attend.
Musings on Fannish Media
I was wondering whether to write this post as it is an answer to another article that was published in Polish. Yet considering that many of my readers are from Poland I decided that it makes sense. So here it is – a couple of my thoughts.
Krakówò Zimōwō – hic sunt dracones
It was a very unusual convention for me. Krakówò Zimōwō was a furry con and not being a fury myself, I didn’t know what to expect yet I was curious.
Zjava 13 – a gaming convention where I didn’t play
My convention season opening for 2024 was Zjava 13 – a winter con run by the Avangarda society in Warsaw. It was a gaming con but somehow I didn’t play any game. Instead I had a great time – mainly through meeting people.

2023 A Lazy Year?
When I look at my blog I have an impression it was a lazy year. But was it really? I don’t think so. At least I don’t feel like I got a lot of rest and time to be lazy. Yet what I see is that certain things did not go as efficiently as I would love them to. One of them being the blog itself.
Nordcon XXXVI – Fantasy & RPG theme plus the winter sea
I usually close my convention year with Nordcon. It takes place in the beginning of December in the north of Poland. 2023 is no different. I attended Nordcon XXXVI and it was a good closure of the year despite the fact that the con stared in a bit hard way for me.
