"Where are you going to go next summer? I'm going to spend 72 hours in a 24 hour diner! I'm going to finally tour Prague!" and I'm just like, the vaccine estimates were 18 months and we don't know about subsequent waves: you're probably going to be at home next summer, dudes. Thanks for reminding me.

Me and my friends had plans to go to TF Nation in August and you can feel how much none of us want to bring up the fact that it'll probably be cancelled :(

I was interested to see that WorldCon in New Zealand is going online only, which was very intriguing at first until I saw the other day they are still charging 150 bucks even though it's now a bunch of video conferences instead of a convention... that reminds me that I should try to find wherever the Discourse about that is.

At any rate, I expect a lot of conventions and conferences in the near future will be making that transition, and it's a lot less fun than a physical convention but at least it's better than nothing.
