Welcome to the Discworld Convention 2018!

3 August 2018

The time is finally upon us: Registration has opened and the Greate City of Ankh-Morpork is filling with denizens once more! Treacle Mine road is a veritable hive of activity as membership packs and goodie bags are claimed.

Since this is the Megapode’s first Discworld Convention[1], she plans on going to the (in)famous newbie introduction item; Der Troll's Guide For Der Confused, where she will learn all about being a part of the Discworld Convention.

She has also put her name in the hat for several klatches, hoping she will be lucky enough to get into one (and there are so many!), and is going to the balloon modelling workshop in the hopes someone will make her a balloon megapode (or maybe a librarian?)

Her “Don’t Miss” events of the day are the Opening Ceremony and the Bedtime Stories. The Megapode has learned of some interesting shenanigans in the Opening Ceremony, which she plans to investigate, and will definitely be bringing her balloon animal to cuddle during the Bedtime Stories!
