I forgot to mention that our web site is up again. It was down most
of the weekend, due to a Network Solutions database glitch that
reverted our domain name server to the obsolete MAI.NET. I don't
expect this to happen again.
I just updated our calendar of upcoming events
(http://www.wsfa.org/calendar.htm , mirrored at
http://keithlynch.net/wsfa/calendar.htm). Here's the latest version.
The web page contains links to nearly all the people, locations,
and events mentioned, usually giving directions and other useful
information.
Please promptly inform me of any other events you think would be of
interest to WSFAns. Thanks.
