It's official...

Anne & I are going to England in April! We won the 2010 TAFF contest!

I haven't a clue yet for how long we're going, beyond attending Odyssey 2010, but I don't think I care right now! Planning will happen! Merriment will be had! Fandom connections will be reaffirmed! Travelogues will be written! Pictures will be taken and (mostly) not manipulated! All shall be shared!

(Brighton may still be destroyed and London gently ravaged by a deliquescent pox, I'll have to converse with Dr. Wu about that.)

I thank all of you who voted for us, and my thanks to Chris Garcia and Steve Green for managing this year's contest. Also, I offer my condolences to frankwu and his wife Bri, and my thanks for making this a fun contest. I yet look forward to meeting you in person some day (Frank, I've been told to watch out for the Mariners going all the way in 2010...)

Congratulations! Go forth and do good deeds. You'll have the trip of a lifetime, I promise. If you get me your preferred e-mail addresses for Yahoo! Groups usage, I can get you added to the Fan Fund Administrators' discussion group. It's a bit quiet at the moment but the list can be a good resource for advice, contacts, and such from folks who have gone down this path before you.

Send your e-mail addresses to ulrika*dot obrien*at gmail*dot*com, appropriately de-munged.
