Apparently Flickr shows pictures in the photostream in the order of uploading, which is almost exactly opposite to the order in which they were taken, and I haven’t discovered a way to change this. If you want to view all my photos in correct order, choose the “Åcon” set and view it as a slideshow.

The only thing I regret is having been too tired to participate in the zombie-till-dawn room parties. Luckily (or not, for those who would rather forget…) everybody had cameras so we sleepyheads could relive the parties in digital format dagen efter.

I am definitely interested in participating next year, and might even go as far as volunteering to help in the organization, if possible (I’ll probably be quite busy next spring for personal reasons, and so will Vesa, so don’t go snaring him for anything major either ;-).

One idea that I think was not mentioned in the feedback session on Sunday was an Åcon T-shirt for next year (although it’s such an obvious idea that it must already have been discussed at some point). Just crossed my mind as I was admiring my authentic pirate flag T-shirt from the maritime museum.

I just checked the Forodrim Jubilee dates, and it isn’t Ascension at all! The Forodrim Jubilee is on June 6-8. OTOH, the Ascension long weekend is May 1-4 next year, and that might cause problems too…

I’ll definitely look into it next time.

I think SF Bokhandeln also displayed interest in having a few books on sale.

Of course, if the next one is a year from now, you’ll now have to skip the Tolkien festivities, because you are the semi-official bookseller of the con now. Sorry about that… :)

This was a real hotel convention. Now just add a book room and we don’t need no steenkin’ Eastercon. (Seriously, I might look into the possibility of bringing the SAAM books next time.)

And the boat trip to and from Åland added to the positive experience since it felt as part of the con.

Probably the most relaxed con I’ve attented. Nice mix of not-too-serious fannish activities and plenty of time for Åland sightseeing (or sitting in a bar with other fen, if that was one’s preference). I truly hope that there will be a second Åcon!

Some photos:

Set 1, Set 2 and Set 3.

Årrrr!
