Capclave

Capclave is a local SF convention, which is being held this year from October 20-22.  It's relatively small, relatively quite, and relatively relaxed.

This year, for me, it will be VERY relaxed.  I had asked to be placed on programming, and I had volunteered for a half dozen panels (and suggested a few more that had not been on the list they sent us.)  I had also asked to participate in a Conversation Pit (this con's version of kaffeeklatsches.)

Apparently, I didn't match their interests or needs.  While I haven't received any notice from the Programming Chair, I did check the website when I saw [info]suricattus post her schedule.  If you're looking for me at Capclave, the only programming I'm doing is a reading on Saturday afternoon at 1:00. 

(Insert grumble, complaint, and obligatory recognition that volunteers *do* structure these things, but...)  Oh well - more time to hang out with friends and socialize!  Also, I'll now be free on Friday and Sunday to do non-con things. 

Mindy, disappointed

I say we storm an open space and hold our own conversation pit!

I've always liked the way you think! :-)

Alternative/Additional suggestion?

Come by and see me at work? We're not too far from the hotel and I'll be there until 10 PM both Saturday and Sunday.

Hmmmmm.... What time do you get to work? And do you have scheduled breaks? (I'm trying to work out a couple of business meetings, but I'd love to see you, if the timing works out!)

Shift starts at 2; I usually take my break around 6 on Saturday and 5:15 on Sunday, but that's exceptionally maleable. I'd love to introduce you (and LAG if she's so inclined) to one of my favorite places in the area. It's a little wine shop/cafe called Adega.

Re: Alternative/Additional suggestion?

And, obviously, none of this came to fruition...

I ended up being scheduled for more things the moment I walked in the door at the con - an autographing session that I had not known about at all, a panel that I learned about the day before the con.

I apologize for not getting back to you before the con - things have been spinning out of control and, alas, this week and Mark's mother's illness just made things all the more topsy-turvy. We'll have to rectify all that - at *next* year's Capclave, if not before :-)
