Almost Ready to Roll
We packed most of the Match Game gear and much of our traveling kit into the Astro last night when it wasn't so hot. Lisa is very good at packing the vehicles. Things that are heat-sensitive or very obviously valuable we'll put in just before we go. We're mostly ready to go except for our "hand baggage" and the fact that I'm still at work for a while. When I'm released (I hope no later than 2 PM), we'll finish packing and hit the road for Alturas, the first leg of our trip up to Portland and Westercon.
At least two banker's boxes are MGSF prizes, some of which are now sufficiently old that every contestant is going to get one, win or lose, until they're gone. This will (we hope) make the return trip lighter.
This time we remembered the MGSF banners. We've forgotten them in the past, which is annoying. And now we have nice permanent vinyl banners, thanks to Sasquan who made them for us last year.
Looking at how difficult it was to fit everything into the minivan, Lisa said she's relieved we decided to not try and carry the show to Kansas City in August.

Westercon is governed by a set of bylaws (published in the Program Book), and every member of Westercon may attend the Business Meeting where changes to the Westercon Bylaws are proposed, debated, and voted upon. This year's Business Meeting is at 11 AM Sunday in the Ross Island Room. Currently, the only scheduled business is the official announcement of the results of the Westercon 71 Site Selection; however, any two members can propose new business, so there is always the possibility of a surprise.
