The DNC-Worldcon Connection?

[sdelmonte]

Remember that in 2004, Boston was host to both the Democratic National Convention (DemCon?) and Worldcon?

Well, the Democrats have named Denver the site for DemCon 2008, beginning August 25. This will be just two weeks after Denvention, 2008's version of Worldcon.

I have to wonder why this is happening twice in a row. And what either Boston or Denver did to deserve such large influxes of "undesireables" in such short order. :)

(Aspen, do you have enough tea for everyone?)

ETA: As Bujold is the GoH, I think a large order of "Vorkosigan in '08" buttons are in order. Which one? Any one of that family would do nicely, I think.

... clearly I'm going to have to up my stock even more. Good lord.

I'll bring some Stash, if we make it to the '08 Worldcon.

*hoping!*

Perhaps "undesirables" should have been in quotes.

Point taken. Will edit this.

Of course, you should also print up a bunch of "Naismith '08" buttons in an exactly inverted (or swapped) color scheme. Mud-slinging between these two factions is highly encouraged.

I'm in Denver, too, so I'll be Aspen's back up. I have much tea and a basement with a couch in.

(Sorry, not original to me, I saw a bumper sticker going down the road with that on it in 2000 and about died laughing.)
