This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Update: I saw in the progress report for Con Jose that they are organizing
a tour of the fabled Winchester Mystery House. I had not realized that
access was so restrictive, I thought people could just drop in any time,
pay the money, go inside, which shows how little planning I had done.

Anyway, I decided to let the cat out of the bag and ask Gene Wolfe if he'd
ever been, if he would like to go while at Worldcon, and if he would, would
he rather go on the organized tour or on a separate one.

He has been there before (D'oh!) and he recommends it.  He is interested in
going while at Worldcon, but as his wife would not likely be able to go
(wheelchair access issues), he would probably have to go without her and
cannot commit as yet.

So that's the latest.  I'm trying to sign up for the tour, myself.
