Attention all recruits!

After a long day of training, everyone needs a little R+R, so head into town and check out the parties!  As usual, we will be presenting awards to the parties that have worked extra hard to win your votes.  This year the categories are:

• Best Overall Party
• Best Military/USO Décor
• Best non-Military Décor
• Best Drink
• Best Friday Night Party

You can find ballots and collection boxes on each party floor.  Please make sure to write your badge number on the ballots; you only get one vote!

It's not too late to set up a party!  If you're interested please go to the Party Sign-up Page and follow the instructions there

Some of the groups throwing parties this year include:

Friday

• Capricon 29
• ISFiC Press:  When Diplomacy Fails
• Randomly Occuring Cocktail Hour

Saturday

• Chicago Worldcon Bid 2012
• Duckon/Seattle Worldcon Bid 2011

Rules to keep in mind while you are enjoying your R+R: 

• The legal drinking age in Illinois is 21 and the parties will be checking IDs at the door.  If you plan on drinking, plan on having your ID with you.
• The general Con Rules also apply at parties.  Please familiarize yourself with them.
