DUFF stuff

[threemonkeys]

Repeating what I said over on aust_sf_fan_fun.

Last night, I managed to catch up with Norman Cates the current downunder DUFF delegate. He reports that there is still no nominee to go to the USA this year for their natcon (NASFiC). Therefore if you or somebody you know are interested in taking on the role and making the trip to Archon 31 in Illinois in early August then the opportunity is still there. But you have to make a move now. Norman says that if it is to be done then it has to be done quickly because of the time it takes to sort out travel etc.

So get to it. If you are interested, drop Norman a line at the address on the web page.

Problem is, whilst lots of U.S. residents want to come to NZ, fewer New Zealanders want to go to the US!

I know I don't want risk spending six years or more in Guantanamo for misunderstanding the poor English of wet-back airport security guard!

I can't argue with you there. That argument formed a part of my reasoning for not going for it. Not wanting to spend too long stuck in a plane formed an even larger part. But I figure there are people out there who don't mind those risks.

Spot on! I can't imagine why anybody would voluntarily travel to America these days.
