Narrativity 2021 is underway, and it’s wonderful to see so many old and new (carefully masked) faces! But there are several folks who’ve been important to the con who are no longer with us. I’m very sad to say that that includes Stephen T. Vessels, fondly known to many of us as “the other Steve in a hat.”

So in honor of Stephen, and all the other people who should be here and aren’t, Sunday is Hat Day at Narrativity. If you feel so inclined, please join us in wearing the cap, chapeau, or other headgear of your choice, and remember them with joy.
