Almost Ready to Roll

[kevin_standlee]

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.

I haven't seen you mention it, but did you hear MG is coming back?

If you want to insert some MGSF blurb into the daily 'zine I'll make room for any reasonable amount of text.

Actually, you can probably do better than my current few paragraphs on the business meeting too. The teaser I wrote in advance is okay but could be elaborated:
Every Westercon has a business meeting; we have to, it's in the constitution and everything. At WC69 it will be held at 11am on Saturday in the Ross Island room.
If you'd like a quick orientation on how this works you can watch a short video titled Business Meeting Basics by Kevin Standlee, filmed at Westercon 68:
