Subject: [WSFA] Datclave two and a third
Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2017 07:56:17 -0400 (EDT)

Today is exactly one third of the way from Datclave 2 to Datclave 3.

Datclave 2 was on Friday, 2/29/08, the last time February had a fifth
Friday.  Datclave 3 will be on 2/29/36, the next time February will
have a fifth Friday.

I attended Datclave 2, but missed Datclave 1 (2/29/80).  I haven't
yet decided whether to attend Datclave 3.

My first WSFA con was Disclave '80, shortly after Datclave 1.

Datclave 2 was my last WSFA con.  These days I attend Balticon and
Chessiecon every year, Conterpoint when it's in or near DC rather
than Baltimore, and Worldcon when it's in the Northeast Corridor
("Boswash") or Chicago.  It hasn't been in the Northeast Corridor
in 13 years, an all-time record, and won't be there for at least
another four years.
