    Yes, WSFA is one of the sponsors of the Reiter's Book Signing and
Discussion -- same as the last two years.  It's mentioned on the WSFA.org
webcalendar.  The event is open to everyone.
    There were a number of other WSFAns present at Ravencon but I guess they
chose to remain anonymous.  Cathy, Sarah and Bill hosted a very nice
Capclave party on Saturday night.  And I invited a number of attendees to
come to WSFA and/or Capclave.
    Shortly before I left on Sunday afternoon, I asked the Con Registrar
about attendance and she said that there were about 350 attendees.  However,
that was not a final figure.
