I don't know.  It depends if Mike has someone doing publicity or not.  I
know Mike was supposed to let Asimov's know, considering our GOH I imagine
Analog will mention it, but I don't know about the other sites you mention.
 One thing that might help is if there was a way to distinguish between
casual mentions, "I'll be at Capclave" or "While I was at Capclave I went
to this nice restaurant in DC and..." and sites that actually have a
listing of conventions (you might be able to do this by getting a list for
"Balticon AND Capclave")

If you're willing to communicate with all these sites (in a nice way, by
thanking them for mentioning Capclave on their site and hope that they can
include information about Capclave 2002) I think that would be great unless
Mike has someone already doing this (check first).  The details probably
should be bare-bones:

Capclave 2002, a Washington, DC-area science fiction convention.  October
18-20, 2002.  Hilton Silver Spring. Silver Spring, MD. (Hotel phone:
301-589-5200). GOH Stanley Schmidt (editor of Analog) and Alexis Gilliland
(fan artist).  $30 until September 3rd, $35 through September to Capclave
2002 Registration. c/o Bob MacIntosh. 7113 Wayne Dr. Annandale VA
22003-1734.  For more information see http://www.capclave.org

I'm going to probably miss this Friday's meeting, sorry.
