Boskone 35 Program as of 2 February 1998
This is the latest version of the Program.
We think it is fairly close to what will actually happen at-con, but
There Will Be Changes!
As always, we can't promise that
any of these items will actually happen or that the people listed
will actually be at the con or on the particular program item.
But we think this -- bad weather, illness, travel disuptions, giant meteor impacts or the like not
withstanding -- is pretty close to what will really happen. Check Helmuth for late-breaking changes.
This is the last version we will be posting before Boskone! We hope to see you there!
