    I was there, spending most of my time in the filk room. It was lightly attended. A lot of regulars either weren't comfortable were going to an in-person con or had to cancel at the last minute. Some had potentially
    been exposed to COVID, and at least one couple had a family emergency.

    I avoided the dealers' room and other situations that could have drawn
    big crowds, so I can't give an overall sense of what it was like. It was
    nice to see people in person after so long a time. Things ran smoothly,
    as far as I could tell. I did a concert set for about half a dozen
    people and moderated a couple of singing circles.

    Philcon is my local con. But I wasn't ready to go straight from
    semi-recluse to the kinds of crowds we hoped for. And I didn't manage
    to get my booster shot until after the con weekend.

    I hope that all who did attend had fun and stay well.
