BiCon 2006

With some reluctance and wistfulness I've decided no BiCon for me this year. It's partly the money but more the time/energy factor. There's lots I want to do this summer and I couldn't quite reconcile how it was all going to fit in without feeling like "too much happening". It was a bit like trying lots of different ways to pack a suitcase, and when you decide to leave out one big slightly-awkwardly-shaped thing, suddenly everything else fits neatly without getting squashed.
I know it's not that unusual for organisers from one year to miss the next, and I think there's definitely an element of "BiCon ate my summer of 2005" still present, but I'm not like "Nobody mention the word!" It's more like: on the one hand I realised I didn't want to spend a lot of time inventing stuff for BiCon this year, and on the other hand if I did a "just hang out and see people" one without any new inventions, I think I'd be bored (and be wondering why I'd gone all the way to Glasgow, when lots of the people I'd see will be popping up other places too). So it somehow just doesn't quite fit.
Wishing a good one to those who are going, though :-)
