Absolutely. And it should be noted that the WSFA event made the Saturday coverage of the Boston Globe, which
included a 1,500 word article on the convention. Regarding the First Night ceremony, it described an election
for 'first citizen of fandom,' if memory serves. No WSFAns were quoted, but it seems clear that was what was
being described. You can find it on bostonglobe.com (search 'world science fiction convention') but you have
to pay to read it. Or I suppose you could look it up the old-fashioned way: at your local library.

Kudos to everyone who participated!
