Worldcon 2015
Jun. 22nd, 2013 05:57 pmI am interested in your opinion regarding Helsinki, Orlando, and Spokane as Worldcon sites for 2015.
My bias is towards Orlando. I like their manifesto, particularly the emphasis on making Worldcon less expensive. I also like the single hotel concept. Helsinki looks really cool too, and would be my second choice, but if I think it's important to sustain Worldcon as a concept I gotta be worried about two in a row outside the US. And Spokane would be cheap for me!
I am completely out of touch with fannish politics, speaking of which -- does Helsinki have a chance? Would it be a waste of a vote?
I have no clue about competency of concoms. I'm very curious about that.
