Speaking of parties and imagination, this summer I am bringing Capla-Con back to Virginia after a three-year hiatus. Capla-Con is a two-day festival of nerdity at my home in Northern Virginia for all my friends and well-wishers, this August 13 and 14. Noon-midnight both days, open house format.
Wow! Your first "official stand-up comedy routine"! I'd sure like to see that! I think you are very funny (I had a great time when you gave your talk in Barcelona: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1rcySfIhCI and also laughed a lot while talking over dinner afterwards). So, please, if anybody records this remarkable event, please do publish it here! :-)
I hope you and your friends have a good time. Though I'd love to take off work, book a hotel and fly across the country, not even Capla-Con compels me to use Facebook.
I played my first, and last, game of Diplomacy with Caplan and his boys. Can't say I like the game (I don't want to be good at what it encourages) but they were probably the best people to play with.

Anyone looking to split a room?

Board games? Diplomacy (tm) by any chance?
