CAnnouncing: CAPECON 2012

CapeCon has been named as such by the attendants of last years Chicago M&G. We had over 40 people attend last year from across the world (including Sweden), and are getting set up again for it this year. All CoH players and friends are welcome and there is no charge.

Here is a link to the reservation page:

The good: I live in the Chicago area and could TOTALLY make this (as opposed to something that was taking place on either coast).

The bad: there is no way I can RSVP positively or negatively this far in advance :/

Looks like Mr. Wentworth and I will mostly likely be making it out again this year! Very excited!

for those wondering, we are looking into discounted hotel rates for people. More info on that soon™!

I may have to come to this, Depending if I don't have a gig.

Hopefully I'll be able to make it again this year, last year I only made it because it was raining and I closed my workplace early. If I can't close it early hopefully the owner will have hired someone I can call to take my place that night. If not, I'll just have to make it late if I'm not exhausted. Love these gatherings.

Some of my characters

Interesting. I live in the area. Don't know when we'll be on vacation though. My daughter has driver's training (yikes do I actually have 15 year old kid) and band camp. We're going to have to plan vacation around that. If I can I'll try to come.

And we have Hotel information for those that want to come from out of town. I want to that @wyldnytes (DJ Amethyst) for getting these room blocks!

I have secured rooms with the Holiday Inn Express, and the La Quinta again this year for CapeCon. Please see below for reservation information.

2 Month warning! Have you signed up yet?

I've signed up!

I registered, going to see if I can juggle staffing to give myself a *GASP!* A NIGHT OFF!

Less than a month to go, we have 42 people signed up, and still room for more. Hope to see you there.

T-minus 2 weeks. I am looking forward to seeing many of you there.

I'm passing through in the afternoon, but won't be there in the evening - so I'll just wave as we drive by. :-)

Ready or not!
Here I come!

Well. Ensconced safely at work.

I survived the karaoke! YAY!

Great party! And Zwill didn't thrash me for busting his balls!

BONUS!

Hopefully it won't be another 2-3 years before I can make it back again.

To all those who came out to Capecon this year, I would like to say it was great meeting all of you. I hop you had an enjoyable time getting to meet other players. We had 60 people there.

thank you also to Paragon Studios and Zwillinger for coming out, as it helped make this event that much more awesome.

I look forward to seeing you all next year at Capecon 2013. Thank you all again.
