ConFuzzled 2019: A Retrospective
6 years ago
I never got around to making a journal about it, but I did in fact attend ConFuzzled in 2019.
I traveled up from Euston Station in London to Birmingham International, which was a mere 10 minutes from the convention venue and hotels. I traveled with some very good friends of mine:
vogelrove,
minotorture, and
xilver and it was a delightful and short train ride to Birmingham.
I had a very enjoyable stay at the overflow hotel: the Crowne Plaza where I was randomly assigned a roomshare with
rro with whom I got along quite famously! We had a great many chats and even though both of us stayed quite busy at the con, we still found the time to talk with one another and strike up a friendship.
I really couldn't do justice to all of the wonderful experiences I had and people I met over the course of the convention. I met many people and did a great many things. I can certainly say, however, that I had a few highlights:
-A room party hosted by none other than Vogel and Mino and featuring some really wonderful people:
skawinski,
xolani,
thorsoneyja,
kumorifox1982 and many more!
-A great many splendid meals at Nando's, GBK, and a very honourable mention to some absolutely delicious fish and chips wrapped in newspaper (the classic)
-Visiting the Dealer's Den and conversing with (and commissioning) some really great and interesting artists. I bought a beautiful cup made by https://twitter.com/kisumi87?lang=en (seriously, her work is absolutely fantastic, buy her stuff), and have a few promising pieces in the works: a badge from
indiwolfonline, an Ancient Egyptian portrait from
rynozerus, and a fantasy-themed piece from
mgferret
-Meeting so many wonderful people for the first time. I couldn't possibly begin to list them all, so I will only say that I got to see some really amazing and friendly folk for the first time.
-In general, the really cool spy and espionage theme of the convention. I got to share the fascinating story of the assassination of Georgy Markov with an umbrella.
-Attending the wonderfully-arranged Closing Ceremonies and bringing an end to a great convention!
All in all, I had a really splendid time, glad I attended, and I want to thank all of the new and old friends who helped it be so great!

Skawinski is a cool guy. We’ve hung out before.

For sure! Though perhaps 'tis unsurprising that fellow crocodiles get along well!
