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.

With the con less than an hour from my house, I think it would be a crime for me to miss it. Now I just have to decide if I should get a hotel room and stay the weekend, or make the hour drive home each night after kibbitzing in the bar with the various and sundry folks that go...

Well, if you stay, then you don't have to worry about getting home after drinking whatever lovely single malt is around ;-)

I haven't been in this hotel and I don't know if you normally go to cons or not, but in general, it's nice to stay overnight because thigns sometimes last really really late in the morning.

I've been to Shore Leave the past four years and regularly close the bar at 2 am with my fellow writers. I'm really happy when I have a hotel room in the same hotel as the con during those times...

Oh, you'll be fine at Capclave, then, but I do recommend a room. Now, at Minicon, the music parties usually break up about 5am.
