There’s just something about a good con. Even once you’re back home,\nexhausted from all the fun, you just don’t want to let go. Sometimes,\nyou just have to relive all those good memories, by writing them down.\nHere’s what some of our members said about Redemption ’05.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following were overheard at various points during Redemption ’05. Make of them what you will…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some sound-bites for Redemption:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marty Roth:<\/em> The programming was splendid, the guests were fabulous, the members\n(including the committee and, redundantly, the guests) were marvelous,\nlots of other things could be described if I had a thesaurus handy,\nand I never had to worry about keeping my drink cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was great to see everyone again, even those of you who didn’t know\nwho I was… and even those of you who wished you didn’t know who I\nwas but were too polite to tell me to go away. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n Christine Davidson:<\/em> ……..and probably lots of other things I’ll remember as soon as I\nhit\n“send”!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also a special thanks to everyone who came along to the SF Music Quiz\non\nSunday afternoon. It was the first time we’ve run a program item at a\n“proper” Con – hence a nerve-wracking experience – so peoples’ support\nand participation was much appreciated. We just hope the\n“overexuberance” at some points (I thing we were closer to needing a\nUN\nPeacekeeping force than the Chair Iain suggests) didn’t spoil it for\nanyone!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n If we ever do another one, we shall ask David, Gary or Steve K to come\nalong with one of those big wooden sticks (or, better still, an air\npowered shotgun) and keep order….\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon. Unfortunately we can’t\nmake Eastercon this year, but maybe catch up with some of you at Star\nOne, or Worldcon in Glasgow in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Smurf:<\/em> My highlights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n and giving Jason a lift home of course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of our members posted their reports on their LiveJournals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n What People Said About Redemption ’05 There’s just something about a good con.

Just wanted to say that, like (it appears) everyone else, I had a wonderful time at the second Redemption I was actually able to attend – even better than at the first one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just to add a big THANK YOU from Michael and me to all the Redemption Team. We know it takes a tremendous amount of work to make a Con run so smoothly, and it was just the perfect combination: the friendliness of a MediaCon plus the varied programming of a more general SF Con. We had an absolutely brilliant time! Highlights were<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’d just like to say that this con was fan-*-tastic, Catherine enjoyed this one much more than the ’03 one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
