An Amazing Adventure (Capricon 32!)

in Capricon 32
I know Capricon 31 is just barely over. We haven’t even posted up Sunday and the Post-Con editions of Goat Droppings, but let’s talk about Capricon 32 for a moment shall we. The website hasn’t been updated yet, probably won’t be for at least a month. But… we want to share the news for those poor unfortunate souls who couldn’t make it to Closing Ceremonies, and haven’t heard it from anyone else…. We’re going to have guests of honor. I know you’re shocked.
Capricon 32 will be held Feb 9th through Feb 12th 2012 right back at the same Westin Northshore in Wheeling, IL. And what about those Guests of Honor you say… well I’m glad you asked, here ya go:
Author Guest of Honor – Cory Doctorow
Artist Guest of Honor – Les McClaine
Fan Guest of Honor – Steven Silver
There… that ought to hold you for a little while.
Bryan Palaszewski’s Closing Remarks to Cap 31

It appears that Bryan posted comments to Facebook that by my reading he wanted to share with everyone at closing ceremonies. Since that didn’t happen because we had the tired, I hope he doesn’t mind me repeating them here.
Proposed for the closing ceremonies, Capricon 31.

All Hail Capricon 31!!
Greetings from Bryan Palaszewski and the NASA Glenn Research Center.
I am so sad that I could not attend Cap 31. ๐ Of course, I wish I could have been there.ย The responsibilities of my job required me to be in Florida to assist the Government in searching out for some alleged bad guys.ย I believe they have been identified and will be brought to justice.
I know that a great set of activities, films, songs, discussions, deliberations, imbibations, and competitions were greatly enjoyed at the Con.ย I could see a tiny sliver of that joy on Facebook and from your e-mails.ย ย Iโm so glad that you had a great time. ๐
Capricon represents some the finest in fandom and the tireless team of the ConCom continues to sustain a fabulous high-quality con for all of us.
BRAVO, CAPRICON! ๐ ๐
Go and seek out the best of the best in all you do and hope to see all of you at the finest Chicago con next year.ย ย ย Go, and have a blast!
Goat Droppings Goes Recursive

As many of you know, every year at Capricon we produce a daily newsletter with updates to the programming schedule, interviews with the Guests of Honor, the ever popular Out of CONtext notes, and other important Phandemonium and Capricon related news. And we know that sometime you just can’t find a copy of the newsletter at the con, or you’ve lost your copy, or you just weren’t there but don’t want to feel left out.ย Well here you go for your reading pleasure. We have the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday editions of Goat Droppings (The Dead Tree version now with less dead trees). We’ll post the Sunday and Post-Con editions just as soon as the flying monkeys finish converting the paper to electrons.

Thanks to all of you who came out for Capricon this year. It was fun. Hope you can say the same. But… the fun’s not over yet. Beware the Ides of Phandemonium. Come join us for the Ides of Phandemonium Zombie Goat Party at the RAM restaurant in Wheeling, just across from the hotel Tuesday night (2/15) at 7PM. Just because Capricon’s over doesn’t mean Capricon has to end.
