Anime & Video—We strive to present worthwhile features that are not readily available on cable or broadcast TV. Also, we try to integrate our offerings with the “live” Boskone program. Above all, we want to provide an enjoyable experience for any attendees who decide to spend time watching anime & video at Boskone.
Autographing—Get an autograph from your favorite writer, editor, or artist. Check your Pocket Program for times and locations.
Readings—Hear writers read and discuss their own works; as before, the Pocket Program tells all...
Discussion Groups—This year, we’re setting up individual presentations and focused discussions by a variety of our program participants. We’ll also have some space available for you to form your own last-minute groups (“Birds of a Feather”) at-con. Sign up for these at Information (or email us ahead of time at b45info@boskone.org).
Filksinging—Filksongs are fandom’s folk songs, with themes of SF, fantasy, and fannish interests. Planned items include two hours of concert sets, and NESFA Hymnal singing.
Kaffeeklatsches/Literary Beers—Are you interested in participating in an informal discussion with one of our program partic-ipants over coffee, tea, or beer? Sign up for these at Information at the convention.
