I spent a portion of this month in Chengdu, China attending the 2023 Worldcon. I have lots to nice things to say about my time there, but I contracted Covid somewhere along the line and I’m a bit fatigued right now. (So far, it’s an extremely mild case. Boosters are demonstrating their value right now.)

I did want to offer my thanks for a very enjoyable convention and express my joy at winning the Hugo Award for Best Editor (Short Form) for the second year in a row. I’ve had a long relationship with Chinese SF, so this was a very personally rewarding win among friends. It’s also been a particularly rough year, so well-timed on that front too. Thanks to everyone that voted for me!

I opted not to travel through three airports and multiple security checkpoints with my Hugo this time. It’s slowly making it’s way to the US, but for now, I have a few photos:
