What kind of bid is the Night Vale Worldcon bid?
TO CONTACT THE BID: SPEAK QUIETLY INTO YOUR PILLOW AT MIDNIGHT IN A LANGUAGE LONG SINCE DEAD
That kind.
The bid takes its inspiration from “Welcome to Night Vale”, the most popular podcast on the internet, which is formatted as community updates for the small desert town of Night Vale, featuring local weather, news, announcements from the Sheriff’s Secret Police, mysterious lights in the night sky, dark hooded figures with unknowable powers, and cultural events.
They launched with a party at Arisia in Boston last night. Don’t you wish you’d been there?

I have to admit, when Adam Beaton said he wanted to do a hoax Worldcon bid, it was about the last thing I was interested in this year. He can be pretty persuasive, though, and the Nightvale crew is incredibly fun. We threw a party at Arisia to kick off, and had a blast. A very surreal, very glowy blast. 😉
