Site selection

After "Holland in '90" was selected over the Los Angeles bid as the World Science Fiction Convention to be held in 1990 (as "ConFiction" in The Hague), the WSFS Business Meeting directed that a written ballot election be held at CactusCon, the then-upcoming NASFiC in Phoenix, Arizona, to select a NASFiC site for 1990.^[3] San Diego, with 155 of the 184 votes cast, became the first NASFiC site to be selected at another NASFiC.^[4]
