There will be WSFAns at Boskone, and Sam is working on publicity matters
there so talk with him about it.  I have another couple of weeks to wrap up
the contract and worst come to worst, Michael Nelson can email me the flyer
and I'll take it to Kinkos.

You mean the one where when people made reservations their credit cards
would be immediatly charged?  Or the one where . . . Suffice to say, there
is continued progress.

It's been delayed because I've been badly under the weather; those who know
me are aware that I'm subject to crippling bouts of depression now and then
and this one has been rather worse than most.  Makes it kind a hard to even
write email, much less phone calls or rewriting entire contracts so that
all the things that we've already agreed upon are there and all the
nonsense is taken out.

But that's been done.  The delay is that I was supposed to go to an Open
House at the Hilton on Thursday and there meet the GM; I'm afraid that I
couldn't get myself out of the house to take out the trash, much less
drive.  But we *will* have a contract by Boskone, damnit!  I'm fed up with
this going on for so long and have other things to be working on, so it's
going to be wrapped up one way or another.

So.  Who's going to Boskone?
