Blogging about conventions
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.

That last weekend I attended the Seminarium Literackie 2025 ran by Silesian SFF Club (ŚKF). I must say that it was exactly the con I needed now.

Beginning of the year is what I consider “The Awards Season”. It is when the nominations are being opened, list of worthy works circulate the internet, and people talk on what should be nominated. Some awards already opened the nominations (or voting) while others will do so soon(ish). Hugos, ESFS Awards, Janusz A. Zajdel Award, FAAn Awards, and more. Also the Fan Funds races are usually open at this time of the year. What it all means to me?
Ten years ago Toudi convinced me to visit Nordcon. At first I had somehow mixed feelings, yet now, after ten years I can say that I enjoy this convention very much! This year, although being a bit specific to me, was also very good and I am glad that I attended.
Some days are bad and some are good. The weekend of Imladris XXI was definitely in the latter category. The convention felt exactly as it should. It was a good mixture of programme and socializing. I didn’t know what I needed before the con but during it I understood that I am in a right place.
