Guests at this year’s Boskone include, among others:
Ken MacLeod
Cory Doctorow
Charlie Stross (aka autopope)
Elizabeth Bear (aka matociquala)
Patricia Bray (aka pbray)
Sarah Monette (aka truepenny)
As you can see, it’s looking to be a pretty good year, though I’m sure we’ll all miss the presence of Boskone regular Laura Anne Gilman (aka suricattus).
Anyone else on my friends list going? Besides arcaedia, I mean. *grin*
I’m tossing around the idea, but I don’t know if I’ll have the energy–that’s right smack in the middle of the undergrad labs I’ll be running this term. But the guest list is really tempting.
I’ve tended to go to Boskone every year for the last few years, but I started looking forward to this one when they announced that they were getting both Ken McLeod and Cory. Pretty much the same way I’m already looking forward to Readercon because they’re having China MiĆ©ville as a GoH.
I hope you’ll decide that you need to escape from Worcester and those wee undergrads, and so you make the trip into Boston for the con.
I’d be commuting to and from Worcester, since poor grad students can’t afford hotel rooms. And I guess I could always bring my (non-lab) work with me…
PAR-TY!
When is Boskone, again?
I fear as usual I won’t be able to go due to touring … *sigh*
It’s President’s Day weekend, so this year it’s February 17-19.
