Magic . . . watch as my hands never eave my arms . .

The *plan* is to hold Capclave 2005 on 14-16 October and in writing to =
Howard about being GoH I explained that we do not yet have a hotel =
contract for a particular date (or even location . . .) and that it is =
possible the con might be held on a different date.  Howard was agreeable, =
particularly since it is so far in the future, plus he has drastically cut =
back on the number of cons he goes to.

So, if you would like to put the date on <http://www.wsfa.org/capc05/index.=
htm> as "tentative/subject to change" that's fine by me.
