Today is the 20th anniversary of my attending my very first science fiction convention: Torcon 3 in Toronto. Some memories of that convention, and thoughts on how the world of conventions has changed since then, are up on Whatever today:

@CherylMorgan @scalzi My first convention was a Yorkon in Leeds in '83 or '84. Other folks I bumped into there: Roz Kaveney, @neilhimself , and PTerry—all of us young and incredibly obscure!

@cstross @scalzi @neilhimself I was at the ‘84 Eastercon, though I had been to several RPG conventions before then. Met Neil there.

@neilhimself @scalzi @cstross @CherylMorgan The 1984 Worldcon in Anaheim was my first — still the largest Worldcon by in person appearance.

@KevinStandlee @neilhimself @scalzi @CherylMorgan Glasgow in 2024 membership sales are trending to overtakes London in 2014, if not the Anaheim high water mark.
