KITTENCON 2009
It's time to party like it's 1929!
April 3, 4 and 5, 2009
Champaign, IL
In the interest of economizing, we aren't having a theme, a concert or a GOH for this year's Kittencon. What we WILL have is:
Food, Friends, and Fun
Cats and Conversation
Games, Giggles, and Puns
Tom will do a reading on Friday evening after dinner, plus whenever at least one unsuspecting guest asks for one. We will also be celebrating the success of Pure Romance Parties by Marcey. Over the past two years, Marcey has been appointed to the President's Club, a prestigious honor placing her among the top 200 consultants in the country, and has earned a cruise to Alaska.
What is a Kittencon?
Kittencon started as Kitten's birthday party, and evolved over the years to a pretty big house party. We've had as many as 50 or 60 people at once, we've had weddings, Tom Smith concerts, belly dancing lessons, and we always have good food, fun, and music!
Kitten con does not have an admission fee, and we would LIKE to be able to do this for our friends without having to worry about asking for help, but we can't. So we are asking for a donation of $5 per person per meal, plus feel free to bring whatever beverages (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) you like.
RSVP - PLEASE!! Please let us know if you are coming and for what meals. Knowing this in advance helps us to plan how much food to buy. If you have any special dietary needs/allergies, please contact Marcey as she is coordinating the meals and will gladly accommodate those needs. Our email address is kittencon at gmail (you know how it needs to be formatted - we're trying to cut down on the spambots).
Also, you can help clean up and be promoted to honorary Sainthood.

The house and cottage are non-smoking and are the homes of various furry quadrupeds (cats, more cats, and Java the Mutt.) These are not to be let out, no matter how much they beg. Mitzi in particular is an escape artist. Nor are they to be fed, no matter how cute they are when they beg.
NO PSYCHODRAMAS!!! (Except for kitten, it's her con after all.)
Motel Info
We have no official motel or room block this year. Red Roof Inn has done us good in previous years.
