Ursula Vernon (aka T. Kingfisher) may not have been here physically, but she always brings the fun, the horror, and the weird to any panel she’s on

Megan Whalen Turner was a blast to have at con this year! She jumped into the games and took taskmaster up to eleven. What’s your favorite moment?

We missed seeing Diane @dduane in person, but we had such fun with her virtually! Here are a few favorite moments (with a bonus shot of Peter’s mug of beer feat. a wizard’s knot)

CrossingsCon may be over but the friendships remain. Did you meet anyone new this con?

Browsing through our photos reminds us of what a good time we had! If you have any photos to share, drop them here https://bit.ly/3B1BHL3 What is your favorite memory from CrossingsCon?

Thanks everyone once again for such an amazing weekend! Though it was a whirlwind of new faces, interesting talks, and grapefruit for some reason, I hope you all had as much of a blast as we did.

We’ve put together a selection of highlight photos below, but we’ve also opened up a folder on Google drive for people to share any particularly fond memories from this past weekend. Got a shot of a mind-blowing poutine? Take a selfie with a capybara? Put ‘em here!

And with that, CrossingsCon 2022 is done! We learned about portal fantasies, gave swords to drunk linguists, discovered the lost Hamster Princess book, and watched Megan Whalen Turner take pictures with every person and grapefruit she could find. Thank you to every one of our attendees, our guests of honor (both in person and remote), our staff, and everyone else who supports CrossingsCon. Because of all of you, we had a hell of a great weekend!

As I write this, most of you are either on your way home, or soon will be. We just had a weekend where you met new friends, hung out with folks you haven’t seen since 2019, and knew that you had something in common with every single person you met for 72 whole hours. That’s a heck of a high to ride - and it means an equally hard drop once mundane life sets back in.

So, what to do? How can you give yourself a soft landing and avoid the dreaded post-con depression? The answer is to keep those connections going. Get your new friends’ contact info and stay in touch. One of the best ways to do that is through our Slack, but texts, group chats, social media, or even snail mail will do the trick. Keep the community alive past this weekend, and you’ll bring a little bit of CrossingsCon into your everyday life.

Until next time!

If you’ve got an international flight, remember to make sure to get to the airport at least 3 hours before your flight due to current travel delays!

Taskmaster starting soon in Symphonie 3!
