Save the Date: Worldcon '08

[ase]

Denver '08 Worldcon! Since Lois Bujold is a GoH, I think I sort of have to go.

...only memberships are already $130. I'm really trying to keep this journal PG-13, but WTF?

Cannot do a post on fannish exclusivity. Okay, I can, but I probably shouldn't. But this has stopped me when?

LMB as GoH! Instant mini Bujold con, only not so much with the "mini". This could be cool.

Convention Centers are incredibly expensive. For example, breakfast and lunch for about 100 people for 10 days? $60,000. For a 4 day tournament, our coffee bill is around $3000.

I mean, if I'd known they intended to have Lois as a GoH, I'd have considered being a pre-supporter, but they really do have serious costs to cover.

Intellectually, I understand they've got costs to cover, but my stinging-in-anticipation pocketbook has me whining a bit.
