Unofficial announcement, followed by unofficial plans.

According to moles at Worldcon, Montreal has won the 2009 Worldcon. It won't be official until the WSFS Business meeting later today, but w00t!

We're going to this one. I've always wanted to see Montreal, we have some friends up that way, and it would be a nice vacation.

So, step 1: Buy memberships as soon as possible, apply for passports, and learn German.

What, you expect me to learn French?

In other news form the Mysterious Orient, the Hugo awards are up.

Nippon 2007 has the coolest Hugo statue ever. Seriously. Ultraman standing next to the rocket? Nice to see Vernor Vinge win, Rainbow's End was a great book. Of course, I'm demanding a recount on the two categories johnnyeponymous should have won. Where's Diebold when you really need them?

I was so pleased to see Steven Moffat winning for Girl in the Fireplace, especially since he's said it's his favourite of everything he's written so far.
