Boston's OTHER big annual sf/f convention.

Be warned though. World Fantasy Convention has FEWER freaks per capita than the average con. Arisia has more.

But it's only a few miles from my house. So I'll probably go.

It's on Martin Luther King Day weekend. Some of you might even have Monday off!

I'll probably go, cause I need a con, weird or not.

Fly that freak flag high, Stego.

Well, any of us who are going should at least coordinate meeting for dinner at some point. The con is being held at an even less convenient location than Boskone, but apparently there will be shuttles running between the hotel and both Central and Kendall Squares during mealtime (the hotel restaurant is both expensive and awful - I had to eat there for a work function once). So we will have the opportunity to ride in an overcrowded enclosed space with all the best that New England fandom has to offer! At least they won't be taking off their shoes, like at the Japan Worldcon.

Not that we need to make plans now, of course, over a month in advance.

You know you want to go, Yagathai.

Cambridge is right in the middle of the proposed Pizza Crawl....I think we need to get GRRM jealous...
