Capricon 45: Let Your Geek Flag Fly… was amazing!

I mean, I’m biased, so you don’t have to take my word for it. So here are few words from less biased sources… some of our Guests of Honor (GoHs):

Alas, our fourth GoH, Dr. Tom Barclay, isn’t particularly active on social media. Rest assured, he appears in photos and definitely had a blast. In fact, here’s how it started, with the traditional Meet the GoHs panel Thursday afternoon:

Guests of Honor at Capricon 45: Dr. Thomas Barclay (astrophysicist), Zeta Jane (costumer), Dr. Micaiah Johnson (author), and John Kovalic (cartoonist)

These four guests met at their first panel, an opportunity for them to talk about anything they want before Opening Ceremonies. And here’s how it looked near the end, on Saturday night:

Guests of Honor and their guests at the Steampunk party. Dr. Tom Barclay and friend Sean; Nina, with friend of Dr. Micaiah Johnson; and Zeta Jane.

This was an exciting moment for me, as co-chair, when I realized that three of our GoHs were circulating through the parties together. Not pictured is a slightly different combination of GoHs on DJ Scalzi‘s dance floor about an hour later for the traditional midnight rendition of the Time Warp.

I know, you’re probably thinking that sounds like a fabulous photo opportunity. It was! I’ve seen several photos that include the three GoHs… and myself… doing the Time Warp. Obviously, I was too busy… doing the Time Warp… to take photos.
