Worldcon 2007, Day 5

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

Nippon 2007 LogoOkay, it’s the last day. Not much to report, since we essentially blew off the convention and went on a final sightseeing trip. We hope you enjoyed our little look at the 2007 Worldcon. This was really a test, to see if this sort of thing is practical for us. If we do it again, we promise to have better gear than a 3+ year old point & shoot still camera and a crappy iSight computer camera & microphone.

I hope to be able to edit and post a comprehensive set of the photos from Worldcon sometime after we get back home.  First, we have to get the September episode done and fix the website to show both the August and September programs.

Worldcon 2007, Day 4

Nippon 2007 LogoOkay, I’m sorry we’re late. Lack of sleep finally got the better of me, and I fell over for a few hours before I finished today’s report. I hope you’ll forgive us. Please enjoy. To watch, click on the video link right below.

Worldcon 2007, Day 3

Saturday, September 1st, 2007

Nippon 2007 LogoWell, here it is, today’s update on the con. I had to put the show together a bit differently today, so it’s a little rough around the edges (and seems to have an audio sync issue on my machine) but hopefully it will give you a taste of today’s convention. It was Hugo Awards day! I realize that I did not mention the winners of the non-Hugo awards in the video clip. Naomi Novik won the John W. Campbell award, and I don’t have the recipients of the others written down anywhere I can easily get to. Click on the video link below to watch the report.
Sunday: The Seiuns and the Masquerade!
