Crooked River, take my mind
I will be vacating in Oregon for the next five days, returning on Monday.
Last night I had a pleasant dinner at Chutney's Grille on the Hill with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
taffbug, marykaykare, and holyoutlaw. We discussed the best ways to repurpose TAFF money when in Las Vegas. The European TAFF nest egg is about to explode!
Back at Mary Kay's house later, we hatched a counter Worldcon bid to Seattle in 2011. Ours is a bid for the Lesser Seattle World Science Fiction Convention. Our Patron Saint Guest of Honor will of course be Emmett Watson. The idea is to cap membership at the size of the first Seattle Worldcon, Seacon in 1961, which had an attendance of 300 people. Bid chair Mary Kay pointed out that this is about the size of the staff of a modern Worldcon, so this will be the first Worldcon where you have to work on the convention to be a member, thus making it the apotheosis of member-run conventions, not to mention a glorious return to the intimate Worldcons of the Golden Age. So here's to LesseaCon. Look for our flyer in Anaheim.

Fringe and Outlaw turned up in very similar striped shirts, so I did consider a photo montage which morphed one into the other - but then my dinner turned up :-)
