Westercon placeholder and Chunga release note
I'm in the process of writing a longish Westercon report, but unlike my usual practice on LiveJournal, this time I don't think I'll publish my initial draft and then revise it over the next few days. Instead I'm going to take the radical approach of revising it and THEN publishing it! I know, I know, it's a crazy idea, but I understand it works for some people. Short version is that I had a terrific time, all in all. I can't say it was the Best Westercon Evah, but only because I've been to so few. Probably the best one I've ever been too, although I may revise that statement in the final draft. Anyway, great job by kproche and bovil running the convention, great job by voidampersand running the convention newszine, and great job by johnnyeponymous and katster running the fanzine lounge, which was the very epicenter of the whole dang thang. More anon.
