Nordicfuzzcon review
8 years ago
General
It's been a little over a week since I got back from Nordicfuzzcon this year and finally have found time to sit down and write up a proper review of it. I really was struggling in the run up to the convention to find motivation for it. It's hard to say if it was one particular thing or lots of little things, but I wasn't finding myself getting a buzz for the convention like I normally would.
Travelling to the convention was fine, no real worries and even piles of snow to greet me. It's the only time I've stopped short of a gate to allow the snow to be cleared from it so we could park up and unload. The venue itself looked impressive from inside, the outside.... not so much :P
I spent most of my time at the con working in either the Ballroom or Mainstage. Lots of sound and light things happened, but I still wasn't enjoying myself. Everything just felt like it was work and I found myself not suiting up as I would have liked to. I only managed to get one suit out for one hour for a photoshoot. I found it really disappointing I wasn't able to get out more and socialise. I love suiting and it really helps me to find pictures of myself.
My laptop was conspiring against me as well with a glitching power supply and battery taking it's fill at the con. Struggled to get into my music and had a Guest event running for a good portion of my set. It's a thing that happens with events clashing over each other, but really struggles to get motivation going when people start appearing as you're about to finish up.
By the end of the con I was honestly looking forward to getting home and spending time in my own bed again. Hotel was just far too warm in the room with the temperature controls doing nothing to actually change the temperature of the room. Whilst I got to see people around, it was hard to sit down with them and talk.
In short, this wasn't the best of times at a con for me. Hoping the next one will be better for suiting and time to actually spend with people.
