Eastercon might be worth considering; usually fairly local, and nothing like as big, but with a lot of the elements you seem to have found interesting. (Next year's is Dysprosium.) Or check Ansible's list of up-coming Cons and take your pick...

Ah, yes, I know a few people who go to Eastercon and rate it highly! Maybe.

Patch snap! I also got a Cheese +4 one.

I had such a good time and came away feeling ever so inspired to read stuff, write stuff and make stuff.

I only spotted the Cheese one after making my purchase, but I was tempted!

I thought of you in the Spies panel when Danger Mouse came up.

And as a certain Haldeman trilogy would have it, too!

Crushed you didn't manage to stare at Joe H.! Wasn't sure how much proxy conversation you'd come through with, but huskies make great starers, no? :D

In the unlikely event you've left a Worldcon looking to further add to your reading list... Mindbridge is a slam-dunk if you liked FW, and 1968 is an great book (though comes with the twin warnings of "not SF", and "hugely downbeat").

Great to hear what I fun time you had! I can't judge you too harshly on the "localism" test, as it seems I'm yet to make it to a SF con that wasn't within 20 miles and a train commute of my mum's house (and mostly of my own then domicile). Though London would consider its events "cosmopolitan" rather than "local", I'm certain... witness your "native guide" duties extending to French and Greek cuisine!

Docklands is a weird part of London, but it is very sci-fi!

And thanks for the recommendations! I like the sound of 1968.
