It was significantly less hectic for me and Lisa today. Match Game SF was over and the gear stored in the minivan. (It will all have to be repacked tomorrow when we move out in order to make everything fit, but we'll face that in the morning.) Because Saturday's Westercon Business Meeting reached a sort-of conclusion, there was no need to hold an additional meeting this morning.
( Table Time )
At one point, Lisa went back to the hotel room to take some stuff back to the room, laid down for a moment, and fell asleep for a while. I'm not surprised. She's been working very hard, too.
The closing ceremony, originally published as starting at 4 PM, actually happened at 5 PM. Lisa took the video gear to the room in question well in advance, and Loscon 47/Westercon 73 chair Scott Beckstead was able to get her an audio cable that ran from the room's sound board to her camera, which was kind of him.
I was part of the closing ceremonies, of course, but in this case, due to the dual nature of this convention, the two conventions had different conclusions.

We had of course closed the Westercon 74 table before the closing ceremony, but we returned to the site of our table for a while. People came by to talk about Westercon. One person decided that hse wanted to buy a Westercon 74 membership. Also, there was another person who wanted to fill out a site selection ballot for 2023 Worldcon site selection and have me take it to deliver on her behalf in DC. I'm also in charge of Winnipeg's stuff, so I retrieved some of it from the van and we dealt with both the 2023 Worldcon site selection vote and the Westercon 74 membership. I put the site selection ballot with the others that I'm transporting to DC, and I took the membership for Westercon 74 and gave it (and the grant check) to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
lindadee for processing and depositing into our bank account. I'm glad we stayed so late!
We only sold three or four memberships in person this weekend for Westercon 74, but many people took our online sale information, and I think some of them will go ahead and buy memberships online in the near future. We'll be able to tell more if they use the code on the flyers we handed out.
We moved some more stuff to the Astro, took the rest of it to our room, had dinner, and worked on the photos and video seen here. Lisa is pleased with the Closing Ceremony video, and so am I. The work she's been doing bodes well for the Business Meeting recordings we're doing in DC, and I'm gaining more experience editing the videos in Premiere from the Panasonic P2 format. I hold hope that the internet at the Omni Shoreham is at least as good as what we have in our room here at the Marriott, as uploading these videos was a breeze. The WSFS BM videos will of course be much longer than the Westercon ones.
We are too tired and worn to participate in the Dead Dog festivities going on in the Con Suite here at Loscon. Furthermore, I have to work a few hours on Day Jobbe tomorrow morning, which means back to 4 AM wake-up calls. Time to get to bed as soon as possible, I think.
