Capclave October 12-14

[ellen_datlow]

Jeff Ford is GOH and I'm Editor GOH at Capclave this October. The convention takes place at the Hilton Washington DC/Rockville in Rockville, MD. The only other time I've attended was when Howard Waldrop was GOH and although the convention was smallish, I had a wonderful time. I'm very much looking forward to sharing the spotlight with Jeff. Maybe we'll have some kind of discussion about working together--hmmm. I need to suggest that to the program committee.

According to the website, some of the attendees will be Scott Edelman, David Hartwell, Jim Freund, Michael Capobianco, Brenda Clough,Michael Swanwick, Michael Dirda, Andy Duncan, and Dennis Danvers.

If anyone's in the neighborhood, come on by.

We're a picky lot of single malt drinkers and generally bring our own -- lots and lots of different things to taste/savor. My recollection from last year's single malt party is that there were probably 20+ different bottles around at one point or another during the evening.

It's both a great chance to introduce others to a favorite bottling -- as I did at Readercon with the Glenrothes I was pushing at folks -- and to taste some things that you've never had before.

If you've got a particularly favorite style of single malt, please do let us know. We aim to please!

Oh yum! I love the Islay kind of peaty ones the best but will never turn any down. Eileen Gunn and I traveled through Scotland after WorldCon in Glasgow and sampled the little unfamiliar bottles as we went. We didn't find anything that memorable but never finished sampling them all... Bring em ON!
