One of the two Boston-area Science Fiction conventions is this weekend, and I’ll be there, with **Pepper Mill** and **MilliCal**. I’ll be on a whole bunch of panels, discussing everything from Godzilla to keeping Library access free. (Although the panel I really wanted to do – Jules Verne – has evidently been cancelled.) Should be fun. If any other Dopers are around, look us up!

Hey hey! I’m not going, but folks I know are. It is possible that I’ll be going to Boskone, though, which is the other of the two conventions you refer to. Have fun!
