Here once again is the list of upcoming events of possible interest to
WSFAns. This list can be found at http://www.wsfa.org/calendar.htm,
mirrored at http://keithlynch.net/wsfa/calendar.htm, with links to
nearly all people, places, organizations, and conventions mentioned.
Note two local cons coming up prior to Capclave, which is now just
26 days away. One of them is a gaming con, the other an anime con.
I will bring Capclave flyers to the former. Perhaps some WSFAn who
is an anime fan can bring some to the latter.
Adrienne is correct, there will not be a Goodwill used book sale
this year.
As always, I solicit additions to this list. I don't want to hear
about them in a WSFA meeting one day before they happen, since people
can't be expected to check this page every day. I hope most of you
check it once a week or so.
