If I'm allowed to make some comments, since due to locational difficulties I couldn't be at the meeting (seeing as I live in the Netherlands)...

We talked English for most of the time with everyone. There also was a danish-only track which was clearly marked, for the local convention. The con was sweet and friendly. The Masquerade almost got cancelled, and I believe the Fins took over to make sure it happend. I was 3 entries in it, total entries was 7 I believe. (If you look at hte pictures I'm the one with the Atlantis outfit, the one iwth the Galaxy Quest outfit and one of the pair of female Collonial Warriors.) I am so proud! I did the fastest change-of-clothes that I ever thought I could. ;-) Next year Eurocon in Moscow (I'm not going) and the year after Eurocon in Italy, which I may go to. See you there! > *And the rumor of the week was* that = 'Daleks taste just like chicken' I always suspected it!
