Capricon 31 – Pre-Registration Update
Aug 22nd
Where does the time go? It’s just about six months or so until Cap 31 – ESCAPE!. February 10th through the 13th if you want to be precise. In case you’ve forgotten our guests of honor this year include John Scalzi, John Picacio, Janice Gelb and Stephen Boucher. And of course the usual fare of programming, special events, filk, art show, parties, etc.
If you haven’t registered yet, now’s the time! Early Pre-Registration ends August 31st. Right now you can register for $45 per person. On the 31st the price goes up to $50. You’re going to register anyway so why not save $5 in the process. All the information you need can be found on the registration page, including links to the online registration form as well as a printable and mailable registration form.
So here’s the registration pricing for your information in case you intend to slack… Now through August 31st. — $45 September 1st through November 15th — $50 November 16th through the end of Pre-Reg (I’ll get back to you with this date) — $55 At the door — $70
We’re still at the Westin Chicago North Shore in Wheeling, IL this year, so if you’ve been to Cap More >
System Test
Aug 21st
Seems like Facebook and Twitter are never happy to leave well enough alone, and when they changed their authorization schemes, it broke our direct connection from the blog. Hopefully I’ve fixed this now… we’ll see.

Hey you found us! Welcome to the new blog for Capricon and Phandemonium. Last year we experimented with using Facebook and Twitter to communicate with everyone in a quicker and somewhat more interactive format, and we want to take what we’ve learned and move forward with it. So as we’re busy preparing for Capricon 31 Escape! we’ve set up this blog. Our intention is for the ConCom to post here as they are making plans for the convention so that way you, the members of Phandemonium, can see what we’re planning and perhaps offer up suggestions along the way.
We plan to continue using Facebook, Twitter, LiveJournal our own forums, as well as the website to provide information and to interact with you. Assuming the technology works, when we post here, links to the posts will automagically be forwarded on to the various social media sites
Bear with us as we figure out how we’re doing things here, and how to best use the tools to keep you informed with what’s going on.
