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.
Lajconik 15 – Coming Back to Play
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.
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.

Bazyliszek x Polcon – Oops, I did it again
I love conventions. This should be pretty obvious to anyone who follows this blog. Yet there are some limits. I realized a few years ago that doing more than two in a row is hard and I try to avoid it… Yet I ended up doing it again. I started with Seminarium Literackie, followed by Archipelacon 2, and then by Bazyliszek x Polcon. The good thing is that I don’t regret it at all!

Lajconik 2025 And The Time Travel
So we made it! We finally travelled in time. Well it was only a move forward but one must start with something ok? So we had Lajconik 2025 planned for April 26th and 27th and just a few days before the con the National Mourning was announced and we had travel through time (and space!). We ended up having the same convention in a different venue 1.5 month later. As usually when I am the member of the concom I won’t try to rate the event, but I will share some thoughts about it.
Częstochowski Dzień Fantastyki VIII
It was around two years age when Częstochowski Dzień Fantastyki (The SFF Day of Częstochowa) appeared on the convention scene in Poland. It is a small, day long event that to my surprise is held four times in a year. Somehow every time they held it I couldn’t go, yet this has finally changed.
Copernicon x Polcon – Counting Votes
This year Polcon travelled back to Toruń where it was held back in 2018. The main difference, however, is that this time it was joint with the local con – Copernicon, and thus the full name was Copernicon x Polcon. The latter is a huge event spread across most of the city centre.
Bazyliszek 2024 – Relaxing in Warsaw
In the beginning of July I attended the Bazyliszek 20024 by Avangarda Association in Warsaw. Comparing to the previous one I have been to (in 2022) a lot has changed. It seemed way bigger than before, and also way broader in the programme terms.
Pyrkon 2024 – A Good but Overwhelming Experience
Pyrkon 2024 was huge. Well it was not a surprise but it also felt a bit overwhelming to me. Seems I am way too tired this year and need some rest. Still I had a good time at the con even though it was a bit specific experience to me.
