Back at home on Sunday after spending all day Saturday at Rustycon. It was at the Sea-Tac Marriott, the same venue that Steamcon used. It's truly a lovely setting for a convention, with an indoor pool surrounded by an jungly atrium in the middle of the hotel.

Rustycon was smaller than I remembered it being, but other convention goers told me that attendance this year is actually up following a couple of very slow years.
