MidAmeriCon II, Day 5 (Sunday, August 21, 2016)
10 a.m. – Two Suns in the Sky Panelists: Courtney Schafer, Eva Elasigue This panel was missing its third panelist. Perhaps that person would have kept it from being dry.

Arrival today was a bit before 11. Party size was also doubled. Both the son and daughter came along today, to experience one day of a WorldCon.

MidAmeriCon II
Interesting. I have lived in Kansas City since 1997. My wife first moved here in the 1980s. Until today neither of us had found reason to enter Bartle Hall. MidAmeriCon II changed that. It is our first SciFi convention we have attended. Both of us entered to pick up our badges and information packets. The…
