A warm welcome to the Brisbane Worldcon bid @Brisbanein28

"Our proposed dates are from Thursday 27 July to Monday 31 July, 2028 — timed to coincide with a full solar eclipse over Australia on 22 July, so that international attendees can have an extra-special Worldcon experience."

@RuthSachter @Brisbanein28 Whoa, I could go to a Worldcon and perhaps also see the #BrisbaneLions play #footy? That's a pretty spectacular sounding foundation for an Australian holiday.

@geniodiabolico @Brisbanein28@mastodon But only if they get enough votes this year at LAcon so we need to help them get more support and those all important votes.

@RuthSachter If I buy a supporting membership do I get a vote? I'm willing to invest a little in this outcome.

@geniodiabolico To vote in this year's Worldcon selection one must buy a WSFS membership. LAcon V hasn't opened the site selection vote yet. There will be both online and at-con voting.

Higher levels of Brisbane support come with an attending membership. But any amount right now is helpful for the bidding expenses, and they can use volunteers online and at con fan tables.
