Just to report that we kept transcripts of what was going on in the Corflu chat rooms over the weekend. As I’m not 100% sure everybody realised that we were logging, I’m not going to publish them on a web-page or any other kind of public forum. But, if any interested fan wants to ~~know what we were saying about them~~ see it, I’ll happily e-mail a copy of the transcript. ceemage “at” livejournal.com will reach me. Fair warning: the total transcript is 18,500 lines and almost 180,000 words…

“As the Administrator, I feel an obligation to be in Fair Witness mode.”

And a fine thing that was. Alas that the job doesn’t pay as well as RAH apparently antcipated it would.

Seriously, all best to you and Ulrika, and it was a delight to have what limited contact we did via the audio/visual aspect of Corflu Seattle. I truly enjoyed it and appreciated you and Ulrika spending what time and effort you did to keep the animals fed. Applause and credit to you for your efforts. Thanks.

Thanks Hal, Randy and Gary for the links. I’m delighted Jean and Kat saw they have been added to the list of winners. And thanks to David for the copyedit.

Also, Hal’s right — I have the site set to require approval of the first message posted by a user, and messages with multiple links. The latter may not really be necessary, but in the very beginning I wanted to avoid leaving the barn door open in case an approved message turned out to be spam.

Yes, Gary, it does, but there’s a difference between Geri liveblogging the event and full results being posted. Yes, they’re in the same place, and while not wholly coincidental it doesn’t necessarily follow from Geri’s earlier coverage.

“That new house on the far hilltop–can you see what color they’ve painted it?”
“It’s white on this side.”

This seems strangely familiar, Hal.

I posted the link to the pic for you a while back. Not sure why it didn’t show up — I thought perhaps Mike has some mild moderation on, and wouldn’t approve it until he’s home from work.

In Best New Fanzine Fan: (tie), it should actually be Jean Martin (SF/SF) rather than (SFinSF). (It’s short for Science Fiction/San Francisco.)

Hal has now posted a picture of the plaque (which is indeed a thing of beauty) on Flickr:
