Have you forgotten that San Antonio is angling to host the World Science Fiction Convention (WorldCon) in 2013? Well then, check out this video from SMOFCon 28 on December 4th where you see Bill Parker of ALAMO (Alamo Literary Arts Maintenance Organization) as he outlines San Antonio’s bid. Check out the official site for Texas in 2013 if you want to get involved or lend your support.
Oh, and is that a name-drop of Missions Unknown and missionaries John Picacio, Sanford Allen and Scott Cupp? Yes, yes it is.
Parker mentions Missions Unknown in relation to some of the information we have provided regarding San Antonio as the ideal choice for WorldCon 2013. Want to see what we have said? Here’s a quick guide:
