Re: Nebula Finalists 2017

In article <vlhcjm$mta$1@usenet.csail.mit.edu>, I wrote:

Three of those titles were up for Hugos in 2017, which was the first
year that I actually bought a membership to a Worldcon.[1]

Missing footnote:

[1] This was a not-quite-last-minute decision.  2017 was the centenary
of Finland's independence, and the Finnish state provided support to
bring numerous itinerant international events to the country.  I went
to the World Figure Skating Championships in March of that year, and
when I later learned that the Worldcon was in practically the same
place (almost across the street from the train station at the arena) I
felt comfortable enough with the travel arrangements I had made in
March to commit to going back in August.  I did not buy the membership
with the intent of voting in the Hugos and was pleasantly surprised to
learn about the voter packet.
