While agree that parties are fun and informal activity
is a huge part of what makes a con enjoyable, this
year was something of an anomoly for Capclave.  It's
never been a party con (please note I am
distinguishing Capclave from Disclave).  There is no
guarantee that we would be able to continue to have
the same number of parties or have a GOH that's
willing to host a party.  Also, not everyone wants to
go to parties.

Therefore, I'd be in favor of continuing with
panels/readings atc at night after the dinner break.
