Greetings from a hot and sweaty Wisconsin!
I’m back from Euro Pride Con in Amsterdam and I’m finding the weather here particularly soupy. But it wasn’t much better overseas. In fact, I managed to be in the UK for a really big heatwave, though the temps were all in Celsius so I had to rely on listening to people bemoan the weather and extrapolate how hot it was.
There’s precious little AC across the pond (known as air con there) but I did manage to cool down with a delightful little gin drink called a Bramble. I’m not normally a gin drinker, but this was super refreshing! It was probably all that ice, which is as rare in England as AC.
Now, on to Euro Pride Con. What a delightful weekend. I got to meet readers I’ve known on Facebook for ages, but never thought I’d actually meet in person. The panels were all relevant and interesting, the readings were amazing, there was ample time to get an autograph from your favorite author, and plenty of places to hang out and chat outside the programming.
The hotel was absolutely fantastic. The rooms were luxurious, the food was out of this world, and the ballrooms were really easy to get to from anywhere in the building. In short, if you’ve been thinking about attending Euro Pride Con, it will be in the same location in 2019 on the last weekend of June, so I heartily recommend checking it out. It’s a bit early to guarantee that I’ll be there again in 2019 but I’ll seriously consider it.
