  1. What is in San Francisco in August that Walton will be feted at? There’s nothing relevant on her website’s list of appearances.

  2. Yeah, I don’t know. That’s as much info as they gave on the Tiptree site.

  3. Nothing is set up as yet. Jo said she could go to San Francisco sometime after MythCon, and suggested we arrange some sort of ceremony then. (Several of the Tiptree Award administrators live in the area.) We said we will. That’s all I have for you so far.

    It’s actually kind of nice to see all these posts about other awards having business as usual these last few days.

  4. It’s going to be in Borderlands, but we haven’t finalised the details of exactly when. I will put it on my website when it’s fixed, and on my LJ and probably bleat on about it at teduious length. It’ll be a Tiptree award ceremony and fannish hanging out event. In San Francisco. The week after Mythcon, which is in Colorado Springs, which is near Denver, which is on a train line which goes to San Francisco…
