Since the Twitter search function officially stinks, I’m collecting my Worldcon 75 commentary in a blog format for better archiving.
First, I wrote a series of initial tweets thanking just some of the people building…
Organizing my @Worldcon75 thoughts will take time. In the meanwhile, below are some well-deserved thanks.

— Playfully Grownup (@PGH_by_Eppu) August 18, 2017
If other worldcons could learn only one thing from @Worldcon75, smooth registration is my pick.

#Worldcon75 History as Worldbuilding panel tidbit: a word existed for 'turd wrapped in newspaper and tossed over your neighbor's fence'.
— Playfully Grownup (@PGH_by_Eppu) August 18, 2017
Re: that History as Worldbuilding tidbit: languages are awesome! Too bad I missed who shared the detail (and where & when it was used).
— Playfully Grownup (@PGH_by_Eppu) August 18, 2017
Last but certainly not the least:
Finally, THANK YOU @worldcon75 fans and voters. Thank you GoHs, volunteers & staff. We literally *couldn't* have a con without you. Kiitos!
