Arlingzen Bill Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 and I was once a member of WSFA, and a participant in the Great Cookie Conspiracy for many years. I may have some photos somewhere......I believe that after a few year hiatus, the cookie conspiracy is coming back this year. If we are in Montgomery county there are some odd rules regarding food... I believe there will be several people really happy that you are coming for a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arlingzen Bill Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 The weekend is set. October 11-13 at the Gaithersburg Hilton. This is Columbus Day weekend. The con does not carry over to Monday.Now the crazy part, I am doing programming again next year. 2012 was the heaviest programmed Capclave to date. A full slate of panels ran starting at 4 PM Friday and they ran until midnight. Panels started promptly at 9 AM Saturday and ran until 7 PM when we switched over to our evening awards event. There were still 3 more panels after the awards reception. Sunday programming was once again a full slate from 9 AM until the last panel finished at 4 PM. We also ran over twenty readings and 4 writer workshops.We learned a few things and preparation has started for 2013. My programming assistant and I discussed ideas at lunch today.The site to register should be up soon. Our webmasters need a couple days to recover from the con.

Arlingzen Bill Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 As most of you know, Howard wrote the opening story in the first Wild Cards mosaic. He is also the author of the Story "The Ugly Chickens" which eventually lead to the Capclave Mascot being dodos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arlingzen Bill Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 We were discussing this last weekend.Haven't had much new to announce, so I let it slide...I didn't want to have a conversation with myself. Is MC still considering making food? I am holding a room for it to happen in, just in case.If health and life allow, I believe that Gardner Dozios is planning to come to Capclave as well.Also, membership rates stay stable until June 1. Capclave will have a table and be selling memberships at Boskone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arlingzen Bill Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 I would assume private. The numbers are really up in the air, but I would assume we would want the local BWB, George and Parris, some of their friends... then you include some of the other BWB who come... I have the room set aside for all of Friday evening right now. It could be private and then open up for others later on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
