News from the bid launch

10 April, 2010 - 15:09

Our thanks to everyone for making the bid launch last weekend such a success. Our LiveJournal community now has 62 watchers, our Twitter feed has 92 followers and our Facebook page has an incredible 762 fans -- and still increasing. We're working on putting together our first membership list, and we'll post again when it's ready, but we have taken over 300 Pre-Supporting and Friend memberships. We've been overwhelmed by the support for the bid, and now we're going to get down to the work of harnessing that enthusiasm to win the bid and then run a fantastic Worldcon in 2014.

 

Meanwhile, here are a few photos from the launch, taken by Vince Docherty and Jan van't'Ent. You can click through for larger versions, and we encourage you to add your own pictures to our new Flickr group.
