Having new department heads all the time is an old, beloved Capricon tradition. Back in the first handful of years, there were rules to *prevent* anyone from running the same department repeatedly.
If it's anything like usual, about 1/3 of the Capricon attendees will be friends of mine. I've always had a fabulous time when I went. But airfare to Chicago runs about $500, and that's more than I can justify even for a really fun weekend.
At least this year I'll be getting to several other conventions. I'm already set up to work at Potlatch, SakuraCon, Emerald City, ComiCon San Diego, Denvention, GenCon Indy, and World Fantasy Con. Yeay!
Thanks for putting in the massive amounts of time and attention needed to chair a convention.
