Convention Mini-FAQ - August 2013

This site/page/link will be the home site for the Chicago 2014 Rocky Horror convention from now all the way through the convention and after. Disaster aside, you will always be able to come here for the latest and greatest information. You can also add our Facebook and Twitter feeds for updates. The Twitter feed will have many live updates throughout the con.

A Chicago convention in 2014 - are you kidding?
No

A Chicago convention in 2014 - are you serious?
Yes, at present we are pretty much committed to making this happen.

Didn't jefF say in the program to the 2006 Chicago convention that he was never doing this again?
Yes. He lied. Most of what comes out of that guy's mouth is made up or a lie.

Seriously though, why did he/you change his mind?
Because this is our passion and love in life. We made some mistakes in 2006, not the least of which was being late on official announcements, and as well as it all turned out in the end, we sincerely believe that we can do it better and bigger this time.

Realistically, what's the chance it's going to happen?
We're pretty much committed to it at this point. Contracts have been signed, deposits and financial commitments have been made. We'd be out thousands of dollars if we canceled it now. We're about 95% sure it's going to happen, with that % going up every month.

So WHEN is it going to happen?
June 19th-22nd 2014.

So, WHERE will it happen?
We won't announce the hotel/exact location until about a year out from the con, in 2013.
We WILL know and make the announcement by the August 2013 RKO Convention.

Is this a Midnight Madness con, or a "Chicago" Rocky Horror convention?
Just like before, Midnight Madness will be heading up and doing the majority of the work/coordination/paying the bills for this convention, but it will be run and staffed by people from ALL of the Chicago Rocky Horror casts, what we like to call the CRHAP casts (Chicagoland Rocky Horror Area Performers), all of the casts within (or within a reasonable distance of the Chicagoland area).

Is it going to be called CRHAPCon (II)?
Like with did in 2006 when we called CRHAPCon I "The Un-Toucha-Touchables Unconventional Convention", Eventually we will pick a more "media friendly" name that can be published in news outlets and press releases. The name should come by the end of 2013. For now it's CRHAPCon II, or Chicago 2014 (and you're free to use either of those names through the con).

Are you guys going to have any friggen T-Shirts for this convention - you stiffed us on shirts in 2006?
YES, we will have the damn shirts. If things go according to plan, we'll have SEVERAL of them this time, including a VERY limited edition run of the 2006 T Shirts we were *supposed* to have last time (the will be pre order/pre-pay only and we're only going to run the exact number and sizes people buy in advance).

What's that logo you're using to represent this convention?
The logo is the City of Chicago Flag with the Rocky Horror lips over the stars. Like the Chicago flag where the stars all represent something, the 4 lips on stars represent the 4 major conventions that Midnight Madness / Chicago has played host to in the past 25 years (1988, 1989, 2006 and now 2014). We also use the single lips on the star to represent the 2014 contention itself. We *might* (likely will) come up with something different/better, or we may keep this as the main/only logo. We'll see how it goes during the months up to the con.
