San Jose, at the Hyatt.  Flew out on Thursday, got home so late on
Monday that it was Tuesday.  Spent Friday morning on Dave's porch,
soaking up the sun like a cat, and then meetings all the way through to
Monday morning with the Fairmont.  I'm tired, but pleased.

The meetings went extremely well.  As often seems to happen at this
point in a Worldcon the committee has collectively pulled itself up by
its bootstraps, become cohesive, and is working its collective tail
off.  The site is good -- although I spent most of my time at the
Fairmont, and so didn't see everything -- people are on track, and I
have good expectations for the convention.

No, just rather puzzled.

I have no idea of why the announcement hasn't been made and am now quite
concerned.  Mike?  Sam?  We've had the contract signed for a while now
and I thought that the announcement was ready to go before I left almost
a week ago.  So:

When will it be announced?  I don't care about why it hasn't been and
see absolutely no reason to go into it.  I also see no reason for
holding off any longer and every reason for getting the news out.
