Not really.
There's very little outstanding expenses left.  Hotel is paid, artist
are paid.  There will be some postage charges when the billing for the
souvenir book is finally done, which should generate another $10,000 or
so.

Yes.  At 1st Friday September Bob reported:

"Bob (having arrived when SMOFcon was being queried) reported that we
have $898.48 in our main account, and - about 40K -  in our World
Fantasy account"

So unless Bob is drinking some really bad single malts, we have $40,000
in the WSFA/WFC ledger.  And more to come.

Any thoughts as to what do with it?
