By Hampus Eckerman: Because of the room situation at Worldcon 75, it is possible that the planned time of a filer premeet before the Hugos would effectively keep all filers from getting seating for the Hugo ceremony.
So the premeet is moved to 18:30, still at Hampus’ Halloween exhibit. We will not wait for longer time than at most 15 minutes, and most likely less, so be there on time. (This is a warning Hampus especially issues to himself as he was the late to the last meeting because of Pokemon hunting.)
So new time at 18:30. See you there!

Thanks for the update. Had a wonderful time at the dinner.
Thanks for the update, @Hampus Eckerman!
@Chad Saxelid: Ditto!
I still won’t be able to make it, because I’m on a panel till 19:30. But I also had a wonderful time at the dinner.
I’ll be asleep on another continent but…ASTRAL PROJECTION! Perfect time to escape the bounds of my physical body. I’ll be there as a soft, uncanny breeze and a strange feeling of an unearthly presence.
I won’t be able to make the pre-meet because I’m on a panel at 18:00. I have no idea what the line-standing or seat-saving logistics are going to be, so we’ll see if I’m able to join the seating group.
Eric and I have, uh, something else we have to do tonight, 🙂 but we had great fun seeing everyone last night!
If we are allowed to, we’ll save a seat for you, Heather!
according to a note on the door to Hall 1, queuing for the Hugo awards starts at 1800.
@Christian Brunschen: Eek!
the queue is already forming and getting quite long. i am in it.
Yes the line is quite impressive, so I jumped onto it. I’m at the Pizza & Grill.
Trade Hall just closed. Exhibit Hall might be inaccessible, since all doors are now closed.
Letting us in!
Going down now!
It is the line of doom!!
Anyone going to the masquerade?
Sure!
@Hampus Eckerman: Cool! Want to meet at your exhibit? At . . . Hmm. 6:30? Earlier? Later? (I don’t want to overdo it, but based on last night, hmm.)
Anyone else?
I’ll be busy volunteering, not at the masquerade alas, but maybe they’ll get the livestream working!
We iz in line. ?
I think I’ll skip live-commenting the masquerade. It would lose sone of its luster.
I couldn’t get into @Heather Rose Jones’s panel at 3. Psniff! A missed Filer meet-up (for me) (though fortunately I met her briefly earlier in the con).
I am surprised closing ceremonies is in the same too-small room as opening ceremonies was. Idiots. Yes possibly fewer people will go, but A LOT of folks weren’t able to go to opening ceremonies, so . . . Le Sigh. Fingers crossed.
