At the Con ... Sun 08:00

Things still seem to be proceeding smoothly. Unless having the smoke machine for the masquerade setting of the fire alarm counts as excitement.

We had 8 day members yesterday and we have 5 pre-booking for today. Highlights for today will be the WASFF business meeting (allright, so I just lied) and the awards ceremonies tonight. Maybe I should mention market day, the auction, and everything else as well.

At the Con ... Sat 06:30

Everything is happening according to schedule (or thereabouts).

We are now reserving about 10 day memberships for each day and we sold only 5 yesterday. We are monitoring the space situation but it isn't as bad as I had feared.

At the Con ... Fri 07:30

Well it seems the main site is down. Suprise Suprise. Thank WASFF for this little debacle.

The con is going well so far. Crowding is not an issue but we still have about a quarter of the members still to register.

Weekend memberships are $130 at the door.

Day memberships are $50 each day for Fri, Sat, Sun and if you have a membership for any of those days you get Monday free.

We have around 7 day memberships available for each day.
