I don't know.  Will you?  I wouldn't know how to go about ensuring you
meet me there.

Well the usual approach** is to say 'All RASW groupies (who want to
participate) will meet in place <x> (typically pick a bar) at time <t>
wearing an item <i> (printed badges are good, spock ears are a
deterrent).

** for other events, for other newsgroups

12,169 Km walked. 2,402 Km PROWs surveyed. 43.4% complete.

I will almost certainly be there, but who I might meet is indeterminate.

Some of us prefer a room party over a bar. Bars are too dark and noisy,
making conversation difficult, as well as interfering with memories of
the meeting later.

I'll be there -- and I'm findable on the Heinlein panels.  Requested
plenty of others and offered to be a "utility fielder" but those are
the only ones they've scheduled me for.

I won't be at Denvention, but if history is any guide, several people
will insist they saw me there.

I haven't been to a Worldcon since 2004, both for financial reasons
and because of the War on Tourism.  Until the War on Tourism ends, I
doubt I'll travel outside the Northeast Corridor.  I look forward to
the next Worldcon in that corridor (none are currently being bid), and
hope I'll be able to afford it.

I would expect those nominated for Best Novel Hugo would have extra
motivation to be there.    Did you make it to Japan last year?

I don't know why I haven't though of this before.  Everybody
is printing up badge ribbons for all kinds of stuff.

How about a RASFW badge ribbon?

I am making an order of 200 badge ribbons, blue with silver
RASFW in a sans-serif font.

If you want one or two, email me for my address, and I'll
send it in return for a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

If you want to order up a bunch of your own, I'm ordering
them from ribbonsgalore.com; a lot of the people at BayCon
get their badge ribbons from them.

(200 may be overkill, but I figure I can use them at BayCon
for however many years it takes to use 'em up.)
