http://www.gaylaxicon2008.org/ sez: 10-13 Oct (tentative).

Great GoH they have: Geoff Ryman.  He seems not to have his very own
web site, so try this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoff_Ryman

But yes, it would be useful, Ithink, for Capclave 2008 to reach to to
Gaylaxicon 2008.

And if it should turn out that we are on the same weekend, perhaps some
joint membership could be worked out?    Back in the ancient days of
1986 Costume Con, being held in Columbia, was on the same weekend as
Disclave and I believe something was worked out, there being a certain
overlap of interests.

One of the few times Disclave had a masquerade... of course it was in
Columbia, and we were in bucolic New Carrolton....
