This month’s Weegie Word is one that we hope will describe Unconfined: Hoachin'!

We’ve had many bustling Eastercons in Glasgow, and we hope 2027 will be another! Meaning very busy, even overrun, when fans swarm in, cramming the halls and bar, we'll be able to say it’s hoachin!

If you’re starting to plan your visit to Glasgow for Unconfined - gaun yersel!

Many cultures have words with many meanings, and 'gaun yersel' is one of them. Used to encourage and congratulate, Glaswegians use this to tell that you can do it, and say well done for doing it too!

Let’s take a trip down memory lane to another Eastercon gone by!

2Kon was the last Glasgow Eastercon to take place at the Central Hotel, with Guests of Honour Guy Gavriel Kay, Katherine Kurtz and Deborah Turner-Harris. Do you have memories to share?

Can’t believe it’s just over six months until Unconfined, you might want to use our Weegie Word of the month: aye right!

Sceptical two positives can make a negative? 'Aye right' is the way to express your feelings! Each word means 'yes', but together, they're a sarcastic expression of disbelief.
The frame of the fantasy version of the Unconfined convention logo. A silhouetted skyline of Glasgow in dark blue is arced across the top. There is a mirrored skyline below in purple of a fantasy city skyline, with five small apple trees in green and red in front of the bottom half of the buildings. In the centre, between the two horizon lines are the word ‘Aye Right’ in purple letters.

I’ve been attending conventions since 1980. For many years I just enjoyed them as provided to me, but I felt the I’d like to contribute too. I gophered at a few cons, was the gopher parent at another, and then started helping with green room, mostly at Satellites.
A photo of Lesley sat in a restaurant, holding a whisky glass and smiling at the camera. She is a white woman with brown and grey hair, wearing purple rimmed glasses and a read, gold and black stripped top.

Today I booked my flights to @laworldcon.bsky.social — likely the last U.S. Worldcon for many years — plus bought a membership to @eastercon2027.org — so I can visit with those friends who wisely no longer find my country a welcome destination for international travelers. Because community matters.

Well fear not, because Unconfined is here to help!

Guten tag Berliners! 🇩🇪

If you’re at Metropolcon this July, so are we! We'll have a full fan table to promote Unconfined. We will be taking membership and volunteer sign ups and you can get lovely, shiny ribbon to show your support for Eastercon2027!
Shown is the MetropolCon logo which is all white on a orange space background with a large planet on the left behind the logo. The logo top is a silhouette of famous land marks in Berlin with the addition of a large pyramid and small spacecraft in the middle. Beneath the silhouette there are the words “MetropolCon” and the website for the convention.
