The winning bid to host Convergence 11 is : San Diego, California.

Out of a total of 517 votes, San Diego took 303 and Tampa took 188.

Congratulations to the San Diego committee.

Hopefully, finances will allow both K & I to attend . . . there are a couple of you freaks who I've not yet met, and who were all about the SD bid winning so that can be rectified.

The SD committee put a ton of work into their bid, and hopefully, that will translate into a good event.

C12: Tampa - you heard it here. . . . far, far too early. ;-)

Eh, I wanted to go to Florida.

Don't lose the faith, you all did a great job. I will look forward to hear what you will have for us next year!

Indeed... and since we know you were planning to be around on Memorial Day weekend...

Oh... from someone who lives in Seattle, I get down to Florida way too much. You have a great scene down there! I always have a blast when I visit.

Hella, I will be back in January. It would be fabulous to meet some of you!

No faith lost. The hurricanes - plural - and ensuing 'hunker down drama' really stole a lot of time we needed to prepare this year. We're only that much more ahead for C12 :-)

Well, we've already got contacts at the hotel(s), so we're that much more ahead of the game than we were this time around.

Plus, if you stick with the Hyatt Regency, Necro will have prepeared them for you, instead of the other way round...

Hrm.. of course, that could be a mixed blessing..

C12: Tampa is a little more alliterative anyways.

It really sucks... Tampa worked out so much better for me. I don't know how possible SD will be. I'm going to try to make it, but bah, it really does suck. More expensive... not the best dates... blah. People suck. At least I hope what I vote for on the 2nd wins. ^_~

If Kerry loses as well, I foresee drinking in great quantities in my future.

See you there if we can fund the SD trip. Otherwise we'll catch you in Tampa sometime!

No C11 for me, unless there's some kind of time-travel available.

I've got this tall, English guy I have to marry on the Saturday...

*hugs* & sorry you didn't win!

Very, very disappointed. Tampa's bid was better and the dates rocked. Even tho SD is an hour away from me, their dates are crap, and I will prolly only get to go for Saturday. :(

But...C12 in Tampa gives me something to look forward to! :D
