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/

Oh, okay, that makes more sense, in regards to credit cards. I guess I can see the point about not forcing folks to do it, but it still seems kinda strange in the world we're in now. But I can see there being a possible problem in coordination. Thanks for explaining that, Kevin.

As for the PDF, doh! Stupid technology. :) Anyway, I managed to get Word to cooperate with me enough to get it all on two pages, and they're both sitting here waiting for me to write the checks and get them out the door. Which I should probably do here in the next couple days, or the fifteenth will sneak up on me. Wish I could file it in person, but it's not to be.

And I don't say it enough, but thanks for putting up with me even when I'm whining or otherwise being annoying.

It's okay. I do like explaining things.

If you want a PDF, e-mail me at my LJ handle@livejournal.com -- I don't seem to have your e-mail at hand and I don't know if the LJ handle works for you -- and I'll send one to you.

Naw, I managed to beat the Word document into submission (although, I admit, the margins are somewhat odd) that I think it'll work.

And yeah, for future reference, the LJ handle works as an email, and my actual address is on my profile page. :)

Whenever thinking about any WSFS governance question, remember your American history and the government under the Articles of Confederation. That's how WSFS works. Efficiency is dangerous. Individual independence is paramount.
