TONOPAH IN 2012 WESTERCON BID



Yes, as you can see, the many rumors are true. Kuma Bear is chairing a bid for Tonopah, Nevada for Westercon 65, which will be selected this year at Westercon 63 in Pasadena.

I'm sure my many friends, admirers, and others will have many questions about this adventure. Being such a small Bear, and being very busy doing Chair things, if you need more information, don't hesitate to ask my fellow bid committee member kevin_standlee. He helped make me look so wonderful in the pictures.

So please come to Westercon in Pasadena and help support our bid in the
desert wonderland of Tonopah!

Note: Kuma Bear did not see any fish in Tonopah, but it's okay anyway.

As an old Nevada boy, I have to say this makes just as much sense as holding a Worldcon in Reno.

And the Tonopah station has a much better coffee shop than, say, the San Jose Doubletree. I recommend the milkshakes, they are quite good.

As I recall, the slots there were pretty loose. The nickle slots in particular.

Although it's been a good number of years since I've had the dubious pleasure.
