Productive Meeting Day
Oct. 28th, 2017 11:59 pmWhile it would clearly have been better if we could have done two full days of meetings here in Scottsdale, our various schedules only permitted one, and that was Saturday.
( To the Meeting Room )
After the final general session, most of us went out to dinner at Los Olivos in Old Town Scottsdale, which was pretty good. After successfully managing bistro-mathematics in a group of about 18 people, we made our way back to the hotel and repaired to the "con suite" (the Chair's suite), where we had an engaging and entertaining evening of socializing. "Evil Kevin" (Kevin Roche, the Chair of Worldcon 76, has assembled a good committee, if I do say so myself as one of the senior managers. I think we're going to have a good Worldcon, and the more I work with the other members of the committee, the better I think it will be.
Because of airline schedules and availability, I have to be out of here at 10:30 Sunday morning and thus won't be involved in any of the follow-on sessions on Sunday. But I'm definitely glad I made it down here. Even with computer-aided conferencing and e-mail, there are some things that really need the in-person bandwidth.
