Mikhaila asked us to help get the word out:

Cyphan is almost here!  Jewel Staite (Firefly, SG-Atlantis) is a guest as well as Nicki Clyne (Battlestar Galactica). There is private party with Jewel for an extra fee.  3 day passes are available at this time.  Reserve room pretty quick.  They’re getting on the low end!

And hey- THIS hotel has a jacuzzi hot tub. FINALLY.

Cyphan takes place at the Westin Chicago North Shore in Wheeling, IL

Please visit the con site for more info: http://www.cyphan.com/index.html

Cyphan is also looking for volunteers and panelists.  Contact them via their website or let me know (laura @ chicagolandbrowncoats . com) and i’ll get you in touch with Mikhaila.
