Well, At Least I Got Something Done

[kevin_standlee]

I'd intended on getting some errands done today, but I got up so late, and one thing led to another, and the Giants broke my heart again in extra innings, and, well, suddenly the day was gone and I'd done nothing. But I did get the Montreal stuff packed out of the travel boxes and put away. (How did I end up with a box full of cups? Guess I owe someone else's party a bunch of cups sometime.)

Including the trivial amount of sales at BayCon, our total was:
15 pre-supports
9 Bon Amis (Friends of Bid; 3 were upgrades from pre-supporting)
4 Tote bags not included in Bon Amis
1 $5 donation

Against that, our expenses were $220 (including the "suite upgrade" for one night; that is, Montreal paid the difference between a sleeping room and the party suite for the one night we were holding their party).

I'll be sending all of this off to Montreal on Monday.

Congrats for your success for the montreal bid. This is going to be an interesting bid vote at Worldcon. I wonder if it will be decided by the mail in voters.

Well, I'm not sure if "decided by the mail-in voters" is the right phrase. I do think it's going to be very close. Whether it will be as tight as it was last year, I couldn't say, but every vote is likely to be important.

I have more to say, but I'm going to put it in a main entry because it's apt to be overlooked otherwise.
