The Hugo Awards

They are currently tallying the Hugo Awards and the results will be announced on April 4.

Unfortunately, they received a record number of nominations this year. That makes it harder to squeak in with just a few votes. I was hoping for just the opposite. I figured with a far distant locale and the high cost of mailing ballots that fewer people would vote. I received my Hugo Nominations Ballot last week, but that was long after the voting stopped. (I voted online.)

I expect to see Australian writers and magazines make a good showing at the Hugo this year. The Aussies are great spec-fic fans and Aussiecon4 is going to be quite a party. Air fair and hotel for a Euro or Nortamericano  is upwards to $2,000 and out of many people’s price range, so the Aussies will rule.
