Feeling weirdly OK about missing ECCC

ECCC is the Emerald City Comic Con, an event I participated in every year for about 20 years. I've gone as a regular attendee, as a volunteer staff member (and oh boy was THAT a lot of work!) and as a delighted member of the Studio Foglio support team.

There are so many aspects to this show that I love - meeting the creators of works I already follow, learning about new things to enjoy, helping to connect people with things I know they will like.

And it's all happening right now just a couple hours and a handful of money away. But between the risks of bringing COVID home, watching our spending while Mike is still job hunting, not really wanting to add a lot more paper-copy books to the stash and not having a particular task to help with, I'm sitting this one out.

I thought I would be a lot more sad about it, but find that it's fine. It's really true that the only constant is change.
