ProgrammingBoskone is justifiably renowned for its programming, which focuses on science fiction, fantasy, science fact, education, fandom, and a myriad of related subjects. Nearly 100 writers, publishers, artists, editors, art directors, scientists, and fans are expected to participate in panel discussions, presentations, demonstrations, readings, signings, and kaffeeklatsches. Children's ProgrammingThis year's Dragonslair (for children 6 to 12) will give Boskone's young members a chance to learn from the pros, and enjoy the convention in structured play. Featured activities include art and craft sessions, story telling, and more. Special EventsMeet the Pros in our Alien Casino, dance and play whist at the Regency Tea, and enjoy featured presentations by our Guests. |
Art ShowThis year's Art Show will showcase works by Official Artist Charles Vess, as well as more than 50 other artists from New England and beyond. Art programming will include demonstrations, discussions, critiques, and Dueling Easels. Dealers' RoomBooks, books, books are the hallmark of a Boskone Dealers' Room, but you'll also find jewelry, sculpture, art works, games, cards, and other joys to tempt your checkbook. Anime ProgrammingOur anime sensei have been busy for months putting together a list of the new, the chic, the fun, and the special of anime, and also Chinese cinema specialties. Room and equipment upgrades will help make this the best anime program in years. |
Based on last year's great response, this year's Boskone Banquet features a buffet menu of South- ern specialties, just perfect for a chilly Jovian evening of frozen methane. At $34 for all-you-care- to-eat, it is an economical treat, too. Please ask us about vegetarian and other dietary restrictions. Banquet tickets may be purchased through this mailing (see other side). Banquet attendees have reserved seats for the after-dinner events. We sold out last year before the convention started; buy early – we can't guarantee that tickets will be available at the convention. Banquet tickets not picked up by noon Saturday are subject to re-sale.
