The annual Boskone debriefing will be held on Sunday 2 March 1997 from 1 pm to 5 pm at the NESFA Clubhouse, 504 Medford Street, Somerville, MA 02145 (617-625-2311). If you are interested, please drop in.

The emphasis is, as usual, on what not who. We are interested in keeping what went right and fixing what went wrong. We have no interest in finger pointing or attempting to fix "blame."

The debriefing will be followed by pizza at 5 pm and a NESFA Business Meeting at 5.30 pm (an unusual time). You are also invited to attend these events.

Boskone is a registered service mark of the New England Science Fiction Association, Inc.
