Are you coming to Capricon 45?

By the time I wrote last year’s post about Capricon 44, I knew was putting in a bid to co-chair Capricon 45 with a friend. It’s less than two weeks away now and I’m super excited about the guests, the events… everything! We are going to have a rockin’ good time, as evidenced by the fabulous items listed in the flyers I’m including below.

Flyer for Capricon 45, a SciFi, Fantasy, and Literature Convention held February 6-9, 2025 at the Sheraton Grand Riverwalk in Chicago. The flyer mentions the four Guests of Honor (Dr. Tom Barclay, Astrophysicist; Zeta Jane, Cosplayer; Dr. Micaiah Johnson, Author; and John Kovalic, Comic Author) and some of the events they're participating in, with small images representing some other parts of the convention (Silent Auction, Parties, Gaming, Live Music, Writer's Room, Art Show, Dealer's Hall).

But… oh my goodness, there’s so much to choose from and I’ll be chairing and won’t have time for most of it. We have an actual astrophysicist talking about how to design a spaceship, an amazing cosplayer leading some hands-on sewing workshops, an award-winning author discussing automatons, and our friendly neighborhood cartoonist (if you consider Madison in the neighborhood of Chicago) comparing graphic novels and comic books. And that’s just a handful of the programming events, ranging from panels to round tables to make-and-take gatherings and even a cosplay parade.

The room block is open until January 31st, you can still join us and get in on the fun. Even if you can only come for a day – we have day badge rates here – it is absolutely worth the experience!
