  1. I mailed my site selection ballot with check on June 2. The check has not yet been cashed. Should I be worried?

  2. I got an email back from MidAmericon within an hour of my email query to them. They didn’t get my check. Anyone whose check hasn’t cleared should double-check with them right away. Kudos to Michael Lee for his remarkably fast response.

  3. Cassy: I can hand-carry your site selection ballot if you need me to. I’m planning on turning in my own ballot at the con.
