With permission from the chair Michael Walsh... the 2013 Capclave GOH is George R.R. Martin...

The final date Columbus day weekend October 11-13.

So for the DC BWB regulars, here is your chance to meet up with George and Parris at a smaller convention that focuses on reading.

Small note George was the GOH at Disclave in 1983...

EDIT: I couldn't find this at first:

Editor GoH: Sharyn November.

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.

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.

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

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...
