Hopefully not. I curled up with a hot cup of tea and a book afterwards just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Location is Bryggeri Helsinki a Finnish gastropub, afew blocks from the central station: http://bryggeri.fi/en/ Was shooting for 10 people, have 10, but can up the reservation if anyone else wants in. At the bar outside (they have heaters), dinner is inside downstairs if you don't see us or coming late. Supposed to start raining any second.

Buckwheat Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 It is over. I had a great time with everybody, and judging from what I have read on the book of faces, so did many others. In numbers: Con events attended: 3 panels, 1 opening ceremony, 1 interview, 1 awards ceremony, 1 signing, 1 excellent ASOIAF-themed quiz (GO TEAM BARDS! :commie:) Ribbons on the name tag collected: 4 New acquaintances: many New books: one, with a signature that I will spend my whole life paying for Balance between sightseeing and being at the con space: probably around 1 : 1, which I find suitable Question left unanswered: Did Peadar get his moomin lollipop back?

Toft Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Well, I am back! I spent the entirety of Monday recovering before travelling on Tuesday, which took a significant portion of the day. I was lucky to not have any work over the con period but suddenly had something large that needed doing just at the right time. (Well, I could do with more rest but it's welcome.) As always, I enjoyed seeing you all, old faces and new, though who has a new face these days? Only a certain Stark seems to pull that off. Anyway. The Finns did it, and I'm glad so many BwBs made it. I attended enough con and not really enough Helsinki (no sauna!) but I did take time off to re-visit some of my favourite places in the city on the Sunday night. I wish I had made some of the dinner plans but I am glad we made up for that with drinks. Now I suppose I will have to look at attending Titancon again!

Werthead Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 It was a good con. I only made it to 1 panel (Robin Hobb's animals of fantasy) but I did spend a lot of time on the TitanCon desk and the dinners were great. Managed to sneak off for a day trip to Tallinn and another around Helsinki, which were both pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Miss Sunshine Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 My turn I think I already said everything on the Facebook group, but anyway: it was awesome to see all pf you, either old or new friends, and experience a Con again - even a badly managed one at the start (looking at you, Finns >.>). I can't wait for Dublin & Eurocon 2019 QUIZ TEAM BARDS FTW!!! This year we got a solid middle place, but we'll surely end on the Top 3 the next time around #postconblues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never let it go again As for me, I had a tremendous time. Too many wonderful conversations to count. New friends made. New food discovered. How wonderful to see you all! We should do all of that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought i came across a page a while back that listed everyone's board monograms next to their RL names/faces. Does anyone know if that's still around? I have no idea who you are either. There was a pinned post on the Brotherhood without Banners FB page that had that info. Don't know if people who joined have added their names to it recently, though.

Aderyn Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 My thanks to the Brotherhood for the Helsinki con! I met a couple of you only fleetingly and got to exchange a word or two. And now I'm proud to carry the BwB ribbon (which I kind of begged for, and was kindly given by a lady at the info desk). Hoping to make new acquaintances and get to know the Brotherhood better in Dublin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
