Confetti was organized by the Cosmos Club and was a jubilee drudgereport congress since the compound is not filling drudgereport less than 60 years old this year. The Congress was held April 4 to 6 at Civic Hall in the Old City of Gothenburg. I've never been on a Gothenburg-Congress before. This is partly due to the fact not so many years ago I discovered that there are things that fandom and sf conventions and then my life has taken turns made that it is not until now I have been able to take the time and advice. To arrive to the Old City of mixed feelings. Partly by anticipation as I would on Congress! partly drudgereport by the easy anxiety because my absolute worst school years were spent at the Old Town School just a short walk from the civic house. Let me begin by telling you a little about what a sci-fi convention is. Now I certainly believe that most people who read this report drudgereport already know, and perhaps even comes with corrections if I misunderstood something, but I will still make an effort. Anyone can organize an SF convention but it obviously requires a lot of time and certainly some money too. They can probably vary a lot both in terms of size and also how many days they extend over but I've only been to two and they were both three-day congress. Contrast was a major event with over four hundred members while Confetti had eighty. But it really does not matter. Sure, it can be a little different atmosphere on a larger or smaller congress but the important thing is that little word you might not even react when you read the above. Members. When you participate in a Congress so you do not pay a ticket or entry. drudgereport You become a member. As a member you have access to the full Congress. You do not pay extra for the various program drudgereport and you can go on as many as you want and can. Or you can just ignore all program items and hang at the bar, talking with other members drudgereport or with guest writers who are mostly social drudgereport and participating in conversations when not plugged into any panel or the like. It is very very nice and makes a not feel like a visitor but as a participant. This also means that you can keep your own plank if you have a good idea and there is time and opportunity to get it into the program. It is the center of a sci-fi convention, the literature but there is also talk of other things and not just science fiction either. Fantastik in all its forms is welcome. Friday It was a bit down
