H2O #127: In Which We Discuss the Great Worldcon 74 Experiment

The World Science Fiction Convention has come and gone this year, and you may have heard about this thing that we did — showing up with cameras and lights and microphones and our really spiffy metal sign Ray made, and broadcasting live from the event. It was unprecedented coverage, and we use that word a lot, but it’s absolutely true — no one has ever done this in the history of Worldcon.

Were there hiccups? Of course. Were there mistakes? Yes, a few. Were there tons of authors and editors and publicists wanting to talk to us on camera after they figured out what we were doing there? Absolutely.

It was an experience we’ve never had before, and unless we find a way to expand our resources, we may never get a chance to do it again. At least, not at a Worldcon. To those who were asking about our next excursion into live-streaming from a convention: we’re figuring that out now.
