Greetings from Mysticon on a snowy Sunday morning. We're at the table and spending the night is snowy Roanoke and return to dodo central Monday morning. Reminder that there's no snow in Maryland in October and you get to see pretty leaves

View from the Capclave table with a rear view of dodos that may have partied too hard Saturday night. Next to them is the candy bowl full of individually wrapped candies

Pedro taking a water break during a party, remember to take water breaks while partying. Speaking of parties the old fashioned party is in room 336. We also have mocktails and soft drinks for non drinkers or anyone partaking in Dry January

Pedro in his party dodo Hawaiian shirt and hat in a jaunty angle is taking a water break from a clear glass. He's also socializing with his fellow dodos. 

Remember to hydrate early and often

Capclave 2025 is winding down, the con suite is almost empty. Thank you to everyone who made Capclave a success, especially Guests Joe and Gay Haldeman and Naomi Kritzer. Thank you to the participants, volunteers, and members who make everything happen. Safe travels and get a good night's sleep

A very energetic yet tired Pedro supervising the con suite tear down. He has flyers for the WSFA meeting on October 3rd via zoom. Go to wsfa dot org for more info.
