We are halfway to our $5K goal! Any donations or signal boosts appreciated! 💜

#TheFullLid - 6th June 2025 - Happy Friday! We're at sea in the best of ways with @theameliaproject.bsky.social ‬ live, looking forward to @concurrentseattle.bsky.social ‪ and loving the Human Artists of @brandtandstein.com's art call. And then Tom Cardy perceives us ALL. mailchi.mp/5f1e6d0e2ae1...

Update to the sky! Stuff is happening. Bullet-point list at the link below. concurrentseattle.weebly.com/updates

$2274/5000. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who has donated so far. We're in the thick of schedule planning and knowing we're almost halfway funded takes some weight off our shoulders.

Early heads up! I'm organizing a queer SFF reading/party on Thurs August 14 at 7 PM in collaboration with @townhallseattle.bsky.social and @charliesqueerbooks.bsky.social. Featuring @annaleen.bsky.social, @andreahairston.bsky.social, Becky Chambers, @ceciliatan.com, me, and one more person TBA.

Y'all are amazing. ConCurrent is at $2171/$5000 right now. I sent out a check for $2162.50 *today* for the venue. The rest is due August 7. It's only been a few days since the announcement and y'all are absolutely killin' it. Some details: ConCurrent will be in the Bullitt Cabaret, which seats 150.

I'm floored that ConCurrent is already 20% through its funding goal. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. I owe y'all some thank-you cards!

Got a question about whether there will be an artist's alley. At this point, there's no plan for that - the goal was to run as slim as possible while providing the best panels possible, and everything we're doing is to make that not only a reality but a resounding success.

We're 20% of the way through funding already?!!?!? I'm floored. Thank you all so much.

Our first donor!! Thank you so much!

We already have some fabulous authors signed up to panel at ConCurrent. Andrea Stewart and Rebecca Roanhorse are leading the charge, and we're finalizing more!

There’s no way to ease into this news, so here it is. Today, I am announcing ConCurrent Seattle, a one-day SFFH con intended to be an alternative program to WorldCon, scheduled for Thursday, August 14, 2025, at the ACT Theatre in downtown Seattle at 700 Union Street, across from the Sheraton. 1/7
