why I'm supporting Spokane in 2015

As you may know there are two groups bidding for the right to host the World Science Fiction convention in 2015. It has been quite a while since there was a contested Worldcon site selection, and it's nice to see multiple bids. And in fact the Orlando folks have a really, really good idea.

So don't vote for Orlando just because there aren't any non-stop flights from where you live to Spokane and instead you have to take a one-stop (with no change of plane, if you live in Boston). Don't even vote for Orlando because you like the committee's crazy ideas -- I certainly do. Take a look at whether they can make their ideas work.
