That’s right it’s just two days until Capricon starts. Opening Ceremonies Thursday night! Escape! the mundane world for the weekend. If your circumstances allow we have programming going on all day on Friday so make sure you come and join us. We really do mean it when we say we’re a four day con. Check out the programming schedule on the website.

Want to be on stage in front of all of Capricon? We’ve got the perfect opportunity! On Saturday at 7pm, we will have a LIVE performance of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog – it’s THE event of the con! We need a Fan Boy and Fan Girl to help out with the song “The Perfect Story”, so if you can carry a tune and have a lot of enthusiasm, we want YOU! Contact the director, Ruth P. at ruthless@funevilpeople.org if you’re interested. (Must be available Friday during the day for some rehearsal, and Saturday for final rehearsal and performance.)
Hotel Reservation Emails

Just a quick note to let those of you who have reservations with the hotel for Capricon to not panic. The hotel sent out a mass email confirming everyone’s hotel rooms. Unfortunately they all had the wrong dates on them. It was a mistake, the hotel is aware of the issue. They are fixing it and another email will be sent out with the correct information. Please disregard the emails you received from the hotel with the incorrect dates.
Snow Goons!

So looking out my window and gauging by the fact that the snow is still coming down… I’m thinking that unless we have a freak heat wave in the next week and a half… there will still be snow on the ground when Capricon starts next week. Which also means theoretically the annual(When the weather cooperates) Snow Goon! panel should be able to happen. If you’re going to be at Cap Friday morning, come out and make snow goons! Here are the details of the panel:
Snow Goons!
Time: Friday – 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM
Category: Panel-Event
Track: Other
Location: Lobby (No snow goons in the lobby please… just meet there and go outside to make your goons!)
Panelists: Helen Montgomery, Erik V. Olson
Description: Bring your snowpants and gloves and come outside with us to build Snow Goons! What are Snow Goons, you ask? Snowmen, but seriously twisted, a la Calvin and Hobbes. (Weather permitting)
And just in case you’re curious this information and a whole lot more about Capricon’s program schedule are now available on our website. If you’re around the Midwest today… there’s a good chance that you’re stuck inside, so why not take a few minutes to look at what we’ve got planned. Leave a comment and let us know what you’re most looking forward to at Capricon this year.
