As you doubtless all know, I can’t be in Chicago for this year’s Hugo Award ceremony. This causes a bit of a problem for the annual Emerald City Best Dressed at the Hugos contest. However, Kevin and Mur Lafferty will be doing the usual live coverage of the festival on the Hugo Awards website. Here’s what I think we can do. If you are going to be at the Hugos, and you think you have a totally speccy outfit, send me a photo of you wearing it. I’ll keep the photos all under wraps until the ceremony, and I’ll pass them to Kevin so that he can add them to the coverage. The following day I’ll also post the photo gallery here. It’s not perfect, but it does have the advantage of allowing me to include nominees who can’t make it to Chicago (this means you, Galactic Suburbia people). Spread the word, please, people.

Will you be following the ceremony with live tweets – the way we did Eurovision & the Olympic opener?
If I can stay awake, yes.
I’m confused with the time zone thing. What time will it be in the UK when the thing starts?
2:00am, I think.
It’s still at 8pm local time as of the pocket program, so yes.
(Although I would give even odds that it doesn’t really get going until 8:30, and the Best Novel trophy doesn’t get handed out until shortly before midnight.)
Thus 20:00 Central = 02:00 UK = 04:00 Estonia
and midnight 00:00 Central = 06:00 UK = 08:00 YAY!!!
If I get up at 07:00 I can catch the end.
Let’s see.
Midnight! There hasn’t been a four-hour Hugo ceremony in years! I’d expect the ceremony to run between 90 minutes and 2 1/2 hours, based on how the past decade’s ceremonies have run.
ooh, nothing like a subtle nudge 🙂
While you will have to stay awake, I will be at work… fortunately I will be able to take some time to watch some of the coverage, I think, as long as I get work done around it!!
