That hardly seems like a major issue to me. Dead bodies are dime a dozen in fandom.

Yeah. Suddenly, I see the bright side.

I've a small list. Well, compared to the Manhattan Phone Book.

Anyway -- it's their game, they're entitled to play. I'll only bite at insults at me or my hometown.

Truth to tell, the Chicago 08 bid deserves to lose -- just not for the reasons quoted.

I remember a bunch of allegations of corruption the last time the Worldcon was in Chicago, but I thought it was a well-run convention. If I were the sort to attend worldcons, I would vote for them.

Except they have confirmed it is a hoax bid.

New on the international front is a Montreal in 2009 bid running against the Kansas City group who are running again.
