That’s one Eurocon I’ll definitely be attending, if only because I spent a lot of time in Rotterdam in the 1980s and still have a soft spot for the city.
I might do Uppsala as well next year, if only because I’ve never been there.
I am pretty sure it was mentioned repeatedly (alas, I missed the “picking” itself) Erasmuscon will be the weekend after Glasgow, i. e. 16–18 Aug, but it is not in that part of Lally’s Wall where I “used my mobile phone to take down data”.
Well, I’ll be likely flying to Glasgow via Amsterdam anyway, cause it’s the most convenient hub for me, so taking the train to Rotterdam and staying a few days before flying home is not going to be a problem for me and it makes it easier for overseas guests to attend.
Though otherwise I would probably have driven to Rotterdam, because it’s only three and a half hours and a route I know very, very well indeed.
I visited Uppsala to see the Linnaeus Garden, which is lovely and of course important in the history of science. My impression of Uppsala is I would happily move there if I could. University town. Walkable. Cafes along the river. It should be great for a Eurocon.
