Imagine My Laughter

[mishalak]

I received a package today, FedEx. It was addressed to:

Mr Matthew Mishalak
World Science Fiction Society (!!!)

Inside was a box with bunches of convention center stuff inviting the World Science Fiction Society to have its next meeting in the new expanded Colordo Convention Center. Oh no! Someone in the mayors office thinks I'm crazy enough to bid for Worldcon. (Yes, I'm very ammused and laughing about all this.)

Update:

I just checked the regular post. I've got annother letter to the Denver Area Science Fiction Association and the World Science Fiction Society with similar information. I'm in real trouble now. <laugh>

But what if there are actually powers trying to get me to chair a Worldcon? Ah, run away!!!

Don't worry, we are trying to get you to chair it, but think of it this way: after chairing a worldcon, you'ld be much more likely to win TAFF.

SMOF! SMOF! SMOF!

What, where? Who? Me?? Run away!

Makes the phrase "being outed" take on an entirely different meaning!

I could forward your LJ entry to SMOFS, and add you to the list of cities that are not bidding for Worldcons (I haven't been paying real close attention, but that list currently appears to include Washington, DC and Newark, NJ).

I though you were my friend, everyone knows friends don't let friends bid for Worldcon. If I were to bid for anything I think a Westercon would be much closer to what Denver could handle.

Hey, I am your friend - I only offered to forward your entry. I didn't actually go ahead and do it...

[mishalak.livejournal.com]

Whew, thank you very much. It would be tragically funny if I ended up heading a bid just because the fannish grapevine started thinking I was. (And sorry, I was trying to be funny right back, I guess I over did it.)

You've obviously been selected for an Evil Smofs Ribbon, ... check with Sharon!

Evil Smofs Attack to control Young Republicans

Ooo wicked! Does it come with a monocle or other villainous prop? And will it help me win TAFF?

Humm, I think it only comes with a ribbon (or a different ribbon depending on conventions.)

Might help you win TAFF if you struggle with the smofs mailing list, ....
