Hello, Denvention 3 members and prospective members.
We're getting closer and closer to the convention, and the
excitement is building. This progress report is full of information
you will want to read. You can find out about what
we're planning here, and who you can contact for more information
if you want to participate in specific activities
We’ve been spending some time in downtown Denver.
There’s a lot going on there, from Coors Field and the Rockies
(who didn’t quite win the World Series last year, but we
have great expectations for this year), to the Colorado State
Capitol and the Denver Mint. The area east of the Colorado
Convention Center is full of places to eat and shop. Even in
February, the area was full of activity day and night. Plus
the rest of Denver, the State of Colorado, and the Rocky
Mountains are a wonderful place to vacation both before
and after the convention.
The Hugos are your awards, so be sure to vote if you are a member
and send in your choices before the deadline. The awards
will be presented in a ceremony on Saturday night of Denvention
3, and are the highlight of the convention.
The 2010 Worldcon Site Selection ballot for selecting the location
of the 68th World Science Fiction Convention may also
be found in this progress report. Voting in the Site Selection
requires that you pay a fee that makes you a supporting
(non-attending) member of the 68th Worldcon. It also entitles
you to become an attending member at the lowest rate.
This is usually the least expensive way to join a Worldcon.
I would like to take a moment to thank all our staff and
volunteers, who have done so much work already and will
continue to do so much to insure that Denvention 3 is a success.
Worldcon is probably the second largest all-volunteer organized
convention this year (I understand the National
Square Dance Convention is expected to be larger). It takes
a great effort to put on something as complex as Worldcon,
and I’m very proud to be associated with all of you. If you
haven’t already volunteered, it’s not too late to help out. It’s
a great way to meet people with similar interests, as well as
contribute to the science fiction community and to Worldcon.
Many hands make light work, and it’s fun, too.
