Helsinki - Fifth and Last Day at Worldcon 75

Final day of Worldcon 75 was a short one for panels and a final walkaround of the site.

Only panel I went to was The Right Stuff; Kjell Lindgren, Guy Consolmagno, Janey Catherine Johnston.
-You might think that an introvert would be perfect for isolated long duration missions but you are never lone and each person is an antenna to everyone else.
-Everyone must practice followership as well as leadership.
-Must be full cooperation. Wake up everyday and think, "How am I going to make someone's life better today".
-Must be able to laugh at yourself.
-When interviewing someone must be convinced that you would be on a mission with them, would you put your life in their hands, and are they committed to the team mission.

The winter garden area. Used for meetups and official parties in the convention center.
Cool illuminated balloons.
White tree of Gondor decorative thingies.
Hugo award styles throughout the years.
Meetup and display area.
Art show and fan meetup area.
Dealers room beyond the barrier.
Blacksmiths booth just outside the main entrance. They looked like they were having fun.

Overall a fun convention. Wish I had attended more panels but other things took priority.
