Subject: Re: Hugo and Retro Hugo Nominees
Newsgroups: sff.discuss.heinlein-forum
Once again, shamelessly borrowing....
Noreascon Four has posted an _amended_ listing of the nominees for the
2004 Hugo Awards and the Retrospective Hugo Awards for work done in
1953 on its web site at http://www.noreascon.org/hugos/nominees.html to
correct a significant error in the Retrospective Hugo list.
Please note that this significant correction is to substitute "Three
Hearts and Three Lions" by Poul Anderson for "Daughters of Earth" by
Judith Merril on the Retrospective Hugo Best Novella listing.
The Merril work was actually published in 1952, and it was included on
the ballot through our failure to verify publication information.
The Anderson story, which is eligible and fully qualified for
nomination, is the novella-length version of this work; it was
originally published in Fantasy & Science Fiction, Sept. and Oct.
1953.
We apologize for this error and any inconvenience it may have caused.

While not yet at the "proven true" level, like Cointelpro, there is more and
more evidence that government authorities are using the "no-fly" list to
harrass people they just don't like.

I don't know whether to hope it isn't true, and that the "no-fly" list will
die before it ever becomes true, or hope that it _is_ true, is proven true,
and the list dies in flames like it deserves.:)

Another interesting symptom. Nice to have met you up in Seattle, David.
Wish you'd had time to come by the suite party Saturday night for the
tape we again showed, running on my laptop that time.

So do I. That was, for me, one of the busiest, but also one of the best,
cons I'd been to for years. I think I would still have made it, if it had
been Saturday night I had the room and not Friday.
I told my wife that Monday that now was the perfect time for me to obtain
the "By His Bootstraps" time machine, even if it only allowed one shot, and
only one week. Go through the con again, and win approximately 60 million
dollars on MegaMillions (lump sum, before taxes) half way through? Perfect.
(Must make certain to meet with self before going backwards in time, so
future self can give me the money needed to attend con again, and to pay for
a costume so I won't confuse all the people who wonder what I'm doing in two
panels at once.:)

Yes. Still keeping my powder dry for what other "mistakes" may come to light
in the by and by.
