Westercon: Williams in 2013

According to this announcement, there is a newly-launched Westercon bid for Granzella's Inn in Williams, California for the 2013 convention. The vote to select the 2013 Westercon will take place next weekend in San José at Westercon 64.

And here I thought maybe bidding this year would be nice and quiet.

If an ineligible bid (and a bid that doesn't file is ineligible) gets a majority of votes, the result is deadlocked and goes to the Business Meeting, which can award the bid to any group regardless of any of the Westercon location restrictions other than it has to be continental North America west of 104 west (or Hawaii) (and islands off the coast of North America are part of North America, so smart alecks saying Victoria BC isn't eligible can go away now).
