Hi Alice. I am conchair of Capricon this year and I think that qnofhrt may be referring to the fact that there are a number of new people running departments at Cap this year. This is deliberate. I wanted to bring in a bunch of new people who were interested in learning how things ran and who were excited to be helping. Of course, as with any new people, there were a few bumps in the road. And there was a little bit of difficulty in finding staff members to help in art show. (And there have been problems there for a number of years, so this year is no exception.) But that has all been resolved and the person running art show is a very hard worker and will do a good job even though she may not be experienced. She and I and controuble (who runs Windycon's artshow) have had a number of meetings this past year talking about how art shows are run and I know that she'll do a good job.

I am not sure if qnofhrt will be at Capricon, but I know that daddy_guido will - he is one of the art show auctioneers! :-)

I have an excellent team of people this year who are really happy and excited to be helping to run Capricon and who are learning a lot!

I wish you could come to Cap. I think you would have a blast! And thank you very much for thinking of Cap when deciding where to send the limited edition Foglio prints. If you check out the Cap schedule, you will see that we have a number of Magic the Gathering events scheduled. So, thanks!!!
