Voting

[randy_byers]

I just sent in my Hugo nominations at more or less the last minute. You have to be a member of either the upcoming or previous Worldcon in order to nominate, so I don't suppose there's any reason for me to exhort people in general to nominate. If you're eligible to nominate, you should have figured out whether you wanted to by now or not.

However, today is also the last day to vote in the 2010 FAAn Awards. Once again, you can download the PDF of the ballot at the Corflu homepage (maintained by the goddess-like hapless web lackey, Tracy Benton), and it will tell you how to submit a ballot via e-mail. You have until midnight tonight. If you read fanzines, please vote!

Also, you still have a couple of weeks to vote in the DUFF race. The online ballot includes a variety of options for how to submit your vote. I nominated John Hertz for DUFF this year, and I urge you to vote for him. John's accomplishments in fandom are pretty well-known, but I'll just stress that he is one of our best bridge-builders and diplomats. His interests include Regency dancing and masquerades as well as fanzines and conventions. He's even capable of discussing classic SF with the best of 'em. Australians would find him a fascinating guest, and North Americans (and other interested parties) would get a superb trip report out of the deal, as well as a competent and energetic administrator and promoter of the fund. He don't wanna hurt no kangaroo neither. Deadline for voting is 31 March, but please vote sooner than later.

"Political Science" reference! Now I have it going through my head, but at least it's a pleasant tune.

Readers in Australasia and Europe may be pleased to hear that they still have three weeks to vote in the GUFF race, to send either lostcarpark or myself to New Zealand and Australia in August and September. Copies of the ballot were in the recently-mailed PR for the 2010 Worldcon in Melbourne.

Hey Snotnose was asking last night - what Americans ARE actually coming to Corflu? I'm guessing a lot of the A's are not really coming given the economy?
