Xray the Enforcer Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Well shit, sign me up. Is this the type of thing I can buy a pass the day of? If not, I'd still want to meet up with some of y'all, and participate in some drinking and minor to moderate puking. aw hell yes. And yes, there are day passes available. Biggest day at Boskone is Saturday, although the biggest drinking night is also Saturday. So, not sure if it makes sense to ask for Saturday or Sunday off. ;) Usually it goes like this: People show up Thursday - Friday evening (depends on work schedules). Most people fend for themselves for dinner those days, but we end up in the hotel bar on Friday night. Saturday, we kinda futz about the con. See a panel or two. Skulk around the art show. Ogle the merch in the dealers room. At some point, we all hop in taxis and go to Legal Seafood and discuss buying a large lobster to set free. Then back to the hotel. At this point, the ne'er-do-wells (Balefont, Book Wyrm, etc) show up and we get ourselves into trouble. Then we end up drinking beer and whiskey in our room. At some point around 2am or 3am, we kick everyone out and fitfully sleep until it's time to trudge to a diner in Southie for breakfast. Sunday is The Day To Be Sad. Just about everyone goes home that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all swedes are racist Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Well that will be a slow time at work, and I've got some serious vacation time coming to me. I'm considering this con to be an early birthday present to myself, so bring on the books and booze! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xray the Enforcer Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT BOSTON IS NOT ROMANTIC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regina Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Boskone is extremely romantic. I give serious side-eye to anyone who believes otherwise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Bandito Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Extremely Romantic? *avoids the side eye* :smoking: I hope to be there for some of it. At least Friday and Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Bandito Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'm probably gonna be a little distance away again, (Near Mass General on Beacon Hill) but if anyone needs a cheap place to stay, I will share. Will also probably have a fridge and stove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balefont Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I really want to go to Boskone but I need to convince the gf that it's a good way to spend Valentine's weekend together... Think of hanging out with us as a sort of Romantic Comedy. It's starts out fun with a lot if lasts and your night can end all mushy and lovey dovey and stuff (presumably *after* you're both alone but stranger things have happened).Bow chicka bow wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regina Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Romantic comedy is the perfect way to describe it. We start off drinking and having a blast, then somewhere along the way I reach the "mushy drunk" phase of hugging and declaring my love for you all.Umm, that's how I do it anyway...
