San Diego did win the site selection for the 1986 Westercon. The voting went as follows: San Diego 147 Phoenix (write-in) 100 Vandenberg AFB 3 Hawaii 1 Nome (Alaska) of the above 5? No Preference 9? None of the above 7? This is from memory, folks; those last numbers are only approximate. The Guest of Honor will be Dr. David Brin, author of the much-discussed \Startide Rising/. The Toastmaster will be Greg Bear, author of "Hard Fought" and "Blood Music" which won this year's Nebulae for novella and novelette. Fan Guest of Honor will be Karen Turner. If you wish to contact anyone on the committee, please feel free to send e-mail my way. I'm Co-chair of the '86 Westercon, and I'll be happy to forward messages to the appropriate people. Any comments, suggestions, inquiries, requests, and so forth will be gratefully received (and acknowledged).
