Yes we did.  It looked like this:

   Capclave 2002

   From the Washington Science Fiction Association, the people who
   brought you Disclave.

   Capclave 2002.  Dates, location, guest of honor, and other details to
   be announced.  Possibly Columbus Day weekend or the following weekend.

   * Chair: Michael Nelson.
   * Programming: Samuel Lubell.
   * Webmaster: Keith Lynch.

   This page was created 6 January, 2001. This page was last updated 17
   November, 2001.

All three names were mailto links.

We currently have pages for Capclave '03 and '04, comparable to this.

Right.  Ditto isn't even in the same *country*.

This Memorial day weekend there's Baycon in California, Oasis in
Florida, Vulkon Atlanta in Georgia, MediaWest*Con in Michigan,
ConQuesT in Missouri, MisCon in Montana, Animazement in North
Carolina, Marcon in Ohio, CONduit in Utah, WisCon in Wisconsin, and
numerous cons in other countries.  (And something or other somewhere
in Maryland, I think.)
