Thursday I will be in Philadelphia on my way to PHILCON 2008,  Crowne Plaza Hotel, Cherry Hill NJ.

 

I was last in Philadelphia for Millenium PhilCon, the 2001 World Science Fiction Convention. Greg Bear was GoH. He wanted strong using SF in the classroom programming. I headed Developing the Young Reader and Educator’s Saturday. The staff included.

 

Developing the Young Reader was possible because local fen plus people from Baltimore, Buffalo, Denver, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Texas and other places worked. together.

 

Seattle-in-2011 Worldcon bid will have a table and a party. I hope to see old friends.

 

  

 

AmaZed and CorfluZed (PDF) is the first progress report of Corflu Zed, which will be held in Seattle next March. Corflu is a fanzine con, and so this progress report includes an article reprinted from the Seattle fanzine Cry of the Nameless, whose staff were also involved in putting on the 1961 Worldcon in Seattle.

Hey folks,  I printed some of your b&w flyers and dropped them on the info table at Gaylaxicon this weekend and talked up your bid parties to anyone who hadn't attended Denvention... but FYI: Reno was actually there and ran a party in the con suite Sunday night.

I saw on the Seattle 2011 website that there is going to be a table and a party at the con, and I was wondering who was coming up. I'll be at the hotel from Thursday to Sunday.
