WSFS Business: Late Addition

I know that I said that I would be skeptical of any additional new business submitted after the deadline; however, "skeptical" doesn't mean "nothing ever, no how, no way," and something came up that needs resolving or it messes up the rest of the agenda.

( Rules Conflict Resolution )

Because the motion affects the entire Business Meeting agenda, I'm intending for us to take it up almost immediately after calling the Preliminary Business Meeting to order, during my opening remarks.

Side Trip to Moscow

Back in the 1980s in Los Alamos, long before Lisa and I met at the 1990 Westercon in Portland, Lisa shared a house for a few years with a friend. They hadn't seen each other in years, but the friend (Elizabeth by name) had moved to northern Idaho, north of Moscow, and we were fortunate to get messages back and forth just in time for us to redo our travel plans from Lewiston to let Lisa go and visit with Elizabeth for several hours.

( But First, Let's Go To Moscow )

We spent three hours visiting with Lisa's friend, and Lisa came away feeling very happy about the whole thing. Even better was the discovery that Elizabeth still had the Asteroids video game (the arcade model) that Lisa had bought all those years ago and stored with Elizabeth. The machine made the move to Idaho and was stored in the garage. If we can manage to rent a U-Haul trailer and redo our travel plans, on the way back from Worldcon, we'll come by again and see if we can wrestle the console out of the garage and into the trailer. We have enough space in Fernley House to house the game console in our family room, assuming it still works and the mice haven't gotten to it.

( On to Spokane )

So many of the Ususal Suspects are already here, and the Move-In process was well underway by the time we arrived in Spokane around 6:30 this evening. Tomorrow the move-in should complete, and we'll finish assembling our five-day village of Fandom.
