It’s Monday evening, and Kaapelitehdas is returning to its normal daily rhythms. Finncon 2013 has been dismantled, and us organizers at least are tired but happy – from our point of view, it was a wonderful con, and we’d like to thank you all for being part of it!
We reached our goal in number of visitors quite nicely: there were a total of 10 595 attendees at program items, corresponding with 7 000 visitors. The atmosphere on site was relaxed and summery. The inner yard quickly turned into part of the con area, with spontaneous program and strawberries included. Despite the sunny weather even the basement rooms still had plenty of participants for program items.
You can find pictures from Finncon in e.g. Sanna Pudas’ costume photo set and Henry Söderlund’s FC tumblr.
Next year we will meet in Jyväskylä! For the time being, the symptoms of Finncon withdrawal can be managed by reading e.g.
- Mythotopes (Stefan Ekman)
- No Moods, Ads or Cutesy Fucking Icons (Re-reloaded) (Peter Watts)
- Bright, Dusky, Bright (Caitlin Sweet)
- Cheryl’s Mewsings (Cheryl Morgan)
- Aliette de Bodard
- For the love of reading
- Suzanne van Rooyen
- Drömmar, fantasier och galenskap
- Lonkeropiirakka
- BEM’s Blog
We would love to link up other con reports as well – please toss us a mail at tiedotus@2013.finncon.org. For lost and found, you can contact info@2013.finncon.org.
We’d also like to take this opportunity to extend warm thanks to all our sponsors and supporters.
