Swancon seems to get Natcons these days mainly when no-one else wants them.
Plus, over the years, we've had it so many times it's almost become the default for Swancon to be the Natcon because it's over Easter.
(Of course, these days Swancon is over Easter in no small part because we had the Natcon so many years running.)
Commiserations on your loss, but may you win the next NAFF race that ends in a Swancon visit. ^_^
As for Into The Badlands I found the first two episodes somewhat disappointing. Too trope-bound and thus obvious.
It is a glorious thing that such shows can be made and be considered merely okay to moderately good and still be a success. Geeks and Nerds are living in a golden age, such are the embarrassment of riches aimed at our tastes.
