Corflu Community Created

I'm off to Corflu tomorrow. The hotel has free wifi. I've just created the Corflu community. As the community description says:

Corflu is for members of past, present, and future Corflus, fanzine fans, faneds, friends, and interested bystanders. Community created on the eve of Corflu 23 in Toronto, where it appears we will have the best from all ages of fanzine publishing technologies. Free wifi in the hotel isn't all that rare these days, but a hotel with free wifi and four working mimeographs inked with blue-green, violet, chartreuse, and black respectively...now that's a faned's dream! Scanners, digital cameras, flash drives, electro-stenciller, mimeoscope, and more.

I sent out about 50 community invitations before LJ said "you've reached the limit" and wouldn't issue invitations to [livejournal.com profile] n6tqs, [livejournal.com profile] richardthe23rd, [livejournal.com profile] replyhazy and [livejournal.com profile] jamesb. But no one needs an invitation to join -- they just need to know the community exists so they can wander over and subscribe as desired.

Please help spread the word. If Corflu is your cup of tea, virtually or otherwise, I hope you'll join Corflu here on LiveJournal even if you can't join us in Toronto!

You are just so smart!

I have to get to a Corflu some time. I've joined based on this desire.

Have fun for me, too! And thanks for creating this community--I don't know why none of us thought of it sooner.

I won't be there either -- I think it's in the same hotel that the first Ditto was in, which is an interesting crossing of the threads.

Give 'em all my regards: I have a membership, but circumstances have led to my not heading home to Toronto.

Yes, this is the same hotel that the first Ditto was in.

Unfortunately, I won't be at Corflu either. I have to be in Toronto at the end of May, and can't afford two trips in one month.

I have to be in Toronto at the end of May, too.... A fannish event.
