Edition of Goat Droppings is Out!

Greetings Members of Phandemonium!

We’re extremely excited about Capricon 37 which is coming up in just a few weeks! We’ve put together an edition of Goat Droppings for you that will give you a preview of some of the fun we have planned. There’s info on programming, special events, how to volunteer, our annual book and food drives, and information about the Board of Directors. There is also, of course, our Out-of-CONtext quotes for your amusement.

You can download the PDF here:

A really important thing to know – we have EXTENDED PRE-REGISTRATION until tomorrow, January 31, 2017. If you haven’t bought your membership yet, please do so! It will be cheaper than at the door, and the more that are purchased pre-convention, the easier it is for us to plan things.

You can go here to register: http://capricon.org/capricon37/registration/

We’ll see you on February 16 at Capricon!

Peace,
Capricious and the Capricon 37 Convention Committee

Looking for teen, tween, and youngling panelists!

Do you have a young person in your life who you know is coming to Capricon? Given our theme, we want to have actual young people on all sorts of programming, including regular panel discussions. If you have a young person who might be interested, please contact programming@capricon.org.

We’re putting together our schedule now, and need to start identifying panelists. Thanks.
