Back From Worldcon

[billroper]

We drove back from Boston in good time, stopping in eastern Pennsylvania on Labor Day and making it home by 10 PM last night. Today was back to work, about which more later.

But the con was a good time. Columbus lost the 2007 Worldcon bid, which was a shame, but put on a much better showing than many had anticipated. We'll see what happens next there. (I only know that it won't be a NASFiC bid.)

I saw a number of friends, including ladyat and bedlamhouse, did less singing than I might have hoped, but a lot of talking.

And I broke two chairs before the weekend was over. *sigh*

I may have a more complete report later.

I detect a new calling awaits you: "Seating Quality Control Assessor"! =:o}

Bill, Bill, Bill...when are you going to stop getting into those fights in bars?

The first chair break was really impressive. I only wish I had a ticket to the rematch. Bill Roper, winner and still champeen.

I've heard both the Columbus was and was not going for the NASFiC. One comment was "Even if --- doesn't want it, the rest of us do and we're going to do it."

I understand there were two people on the Columbus bid committee who were interested in looking at a NASFiC. I believe I successfully dissuaded one of them.

But we'll see.
