Michelle Stark Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I just signed up for Capclave and would love to come to the party too. I found some delicious mead that I'll bring several bottles of, and am willing to help in any way I can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily Valley Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I just bought my membership! I'm comin'. If there's still space I'd love to come to the party. Count me in to volunteer for anything needed. I'm super excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlingzen Bill Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 The book that is being published is The Skin Trade. The illustrations are being done by Rick Berry. The price is still TBD. Members of Capclave will have the first option on this limited run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight of City of Bayonne Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Spent this weekend at the NE floating FIlk con, Conterpoint, at the same hotel as Capclave. A few filks about GOT were presented. Sort of a warmup. ;-) Anyway, the hotel venue is a good setup, plenty of parking, too. The con had four meeting rooms, two of which had the folding wall opened as one. And a reasonably sized con suite with balconies on the 12th (top) floor.Also, please change my reservation to me plus 1 for the head count. It was only a four hour drive from NW NJ so will drive rather than train, and be able to bring supplies of dry or liquid variety if that would help. Just need to know what.

That's not fair to you. You need to be able to enjoy this time as well! So please! Let those of us who wish to help, help. Pot Luck works for me. Or assign certain dish types for those who volunteer......Just keep us informed on what the decision is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercenaryChef Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 thank you very much for the offer, but let me handle the food. I am a professional and whatnot. I have cooked at the james beard house, with and for many notable chefs and celebrities, have cooked for the Dalai Lama, etc. This is my thing, really. Ask my wife, even cooking with me at home is not that much fun. I may need help with setup and the like. But actual food preparation I have this in the bag.

So people who can, please plan to be at the con early to help with the move in... also people willing to help with the move out as we finish. We only have the room until 8... then the next group is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can start any time that afternoon. The hard time is the clear out which must be done by 8 PM. So if people want to go early, we could start with the convention at 3 or wait until 4 or 5 or 6 PM.

Ixodes Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Bill & ChefTravel plans preclude Mrs Ix and I from bringing much of anything that day but please let me know when you need money and we'll do our part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the meat menu... wow. Chef and I are meeting to discuss things in early July. Based on costs of items we'll ask for a small donation towards the cost of the meat for those partaking.

Mr. X Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I've seen the meat menu... wow. That's an understatement.Also, I may be an idiot who missed something really obvious earlier on in this thread, but what day is this happening -- Friday or Saturday?

the maid of woodlynne Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Count me in for breakdown at the very least. I'm happy to help with setup as well if I arrive early enough to be useful. Will plan on a dessert or 2, and should have some beer in tow as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I make it, I will definitely help with breakdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
