According to Wikipedia, “Capricon is an annual, four-day-long (Thursday through Sunday) science fiction convention, which draws approximately 900+ people. Capricon attendees share an interest in science, science fiction, fantasy, and related genres. The Capricon convention has been held each year since 1981. Capricon is the annual gathering for Phandemonium, a not-for-profit organization, and is entirely volunteer run. The purpose of Phandemonium is to promote Science Fiction as a literary genre and to promote the Chicagoland Fannish community.”
The Capricon website is planning a makeover and update soon with details about the con. Capricon 31′s theme will be “Escape!”
