Small fannish update

[redbird]

I have filled out my TAFF ballot, written Suzle a check, and put it all in an envelope. For hard to identify reasons, this has me feeling a little better about talking about the future of fandom on a Wiscon panel next weekend.

bugshaw for TAFF!

Indeed. The blurb for the panel was very arch, and had the typical sort of nurturing/despairing text that such panels are prone to, but finished up with the words "we ask the question 'Where are the new fans going to come from?' "

Knowing full well, of course, that the answer was 'through that door, armed with weapons to disrupt the old order.'

Oddly, despite the fact that the ONLY PURPOSE OF THE PANEL was to provide a framing device for the YAFA invasion, some of the audience didn't believe it when the panellists abandoned the panel, and carried on trying to discuss the alleged theme.
