Quote LuxCon's ninth edition, the 2022 European Science Fiction Convention (EuroCon), continues to offer the opportunity to celebrate Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror in Culture. We're hoping to be able to run this event under close to normal conditions, but will aim to keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible.

I wonder when anything significant (outside the tax evasion department) is going to transpire in Liechtenstein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's small, but it's a very pretty town. Also, the fans who run the convention are hugely friendly and enthusiastic. The CosPlays are second to none and LuxCon is VERY well attended -- several thousand people a day at least. They usually have a great games section too, as well as medieval reenactors in full armour staging brawls. Recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They keep inviting you because you are an awesome guest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I was just joking about the size of the country, not the city, or the people living there or anything like that. I've been there, too, although not all that often.

DaveAx Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 No idea if I'll make it to this, but I'll note that Luxembourg produces some excellent wines, especially dry whites and sparkling wines, though they are seldom seen here in the US. This makes perfect sense in terms of geography: the country's eastern border is the Moselle River. In Germany, on the other side of the stream, the Mosel region is one of the biggest of the country's 13 wine-producing regions -- and certainly the most famous, especially for high-quality white wines both sweet and dry. Luxembourgian wines are made with grapes such as Müller-Thurgau, Riesling, Auxerrois Blanc, Gewürtztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc, and tend to be similar in style to the wines produced in Alsace and some parts of Germany with the same varietals. They also produce several varieties of sweet wines: Vendanges tardives (late harvest), Vin de Glace (ice wine), and Vin de Paille (straw wine, made from raisinated grapes in a style similar to Italian vin santo). All can be quite excellent. A few years back, the DC chapter of the German Wine Society had a tasting I attended -- it conveniently overlapped with the Capclave convention, a few Metro stops away -- that was held at the Embassy of Luxembourg, featuring roughly two dozen wines from that country. I was quite impressed with most of the wines they served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Red Head Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Luxembourg is a lot closer to us than the upcoming Worldcons, for sure, so I would say we're more likely to go here than there... I'm just not sure when I'll be back into the swing of traveling and visiting places yet. I've gotten very used to relaxing in my own burrow, free from dealing with those outside, inconsistent and irrational humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cons attract the best kind of inconsistent and irrational humans and Luxcons are especially good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
