I’ve just been trying to book my flight to Finncon. The SAS web site came back with a message saying that the card purchase had not been approved. So I called Amex. That would be $280 for a plane ticket? Yep. And what about the other charge for $28,000 to the same company?
I’ve canceled both charges and will try again when I get to the UK. Thank goodness for Amex. This is why I use them.
(Gosh – Zemanta just came up with e photo of Joe Haldeman from last year’s FinnCon.)
Well avoided.
Checked the Zemanta-thing and lo and behold! – Joe Haldeman picture from Wikipedia appeared. With my back.
I just _had_ to check Ellen Datlow and Elisabeth Hand as well, and LO! And BEHOLD! Same guy, same back!
“Look Ma, I’m on wikipedia!” 🙂
Yeah, I thought it looked a bit like you, but I was in a hurry to catch a plane so I didn’t look it up. Famous R us.
A new slogan. “Attention writers: do you want your picture on Wikipedia? Get invited to Finncon!â€
