San Jose Wins 2011 Westercon

[kevin_standlee]

San Jose received 79 of the 93 votes cast in the 2011 Westercon Site Selection (the remainder spread over a raft of write-ins, None of the Above, and No Preference) and will host Westercon 64, July 1-4, 2011, at the Fairmont Hotel, San Jose, California. (Those who attended ConJose will remember this as the 2002 Worldcon's headquarters hotel.)

Guests of Honor are Patricia A. McKillip, Kaja & Phil Foglio, and Mike Willmoth. Convention Chair is Glenn Glazer.

Membership is $45 if you neither voted in Westercon Site Selection or pre-supported the SJ2011 Westercon bid. Discounts apply to those who voted/pre-supported.

More details, including online registration, will be available in a day or two on the convention's web site, http://www.westercon64.org/

For a split-second, I read that as 93 votes cast in the worldcon site selection and thought "only 93?!!".

Actually, is the worldcon vote taking place yet?

Congrats to the whole team.

I'm hoping my ballot made it to Tempe on time -- I mailed it before the deadline, but such things are a black hole when it comes to finding out if it made it or not.
