I regret to say that we won't be attending Loncon 3. We have two memberships for sale at $192 each.

They include voting rights for the Hugo Awards and 2016 Worldcon site selection. The right to download the Hugo Voter Packet is also included.

The 73rd World Science Fiction Convention is LonCon 3, in London, England, 14-18 August 2014.

If you know anyone who might desire a membership, please pass this along.

In comments to recent news about 2010 Hugo Awards going to Frederik Pohl and Jack Vance, [livejournal.com profile] redbird asks an interesting question:

Does that make Vance the oldest person to win a Hugo?

Jack Williamson's Hugo for "Ultimate Earth," awarded at the Millenium Philcon in 2001, leapt to mind.

Williamson received this award 126 days after his 93rd birthday. Vance's award came 8 days after his 94th birthday. So indeed (unless there is another nonagenarian I have overlooked) Vance appears to win this contest.

If I am correct, Jack Williamson appears to be the oldest writer to receive a Hugo for a work of fiction.

Frederik Pohl, now 90, is not the oldest person to have won a Hugo last night.

Congratulations to (The envelope, please...) )
