While I enjoyed myself throughly in Toronto, that was for reasons in addition to the Worldcon, so my experience probably was not typical of other attendees'. I'd be curious to hear what other Brinellers thought of this year's Worldcon. My impression was that it was basically a Worldcon. Pretty vanilla. Nothing outstanding, nothing too terrible. Much smaller dealers room than at, say, Chicon2000. Smaller art show, too. Somewhat fewer parties, IMO.
Still, I had a great time. I love Toronto and have many friends who live there. Plus, I was working on the daily con newsletter, and the woman in charge let me do most of the copyediting (and I wrote most of the "official" hoax issue). I attended the business meetings and voted against the change from 3 years to 2 between site selection and Worldcon (and would have spoken against the amendment to the WSFS Constitution, too, except that debate time expired just as I was heading for the microphone. Oh well.) It passed, which means we have to mobilize to defeat it next year in Boston. Anyway, what did everyone else think of Torcon 3?
