Arisia

[marcusmarcusrc]

Despite having a long and fulfilling relationship with science fiction and fantasy, of book, games, movie, and TV forms, I have never been to a science fiction convention. I had planned to remedy that this year by going to Arisia, which is, after all, just around the corner. Sadly, between not having finished my thesis, having my mom in town, having a friend visiting, and wanting to go to bcmfest, I realize that I am unlikely to be able to make it to any worthwhile chunk of convention. (edit) Therefore, Visage is going in my place. (end edit)

And maybe next year I'll get to go.

why not go to Boskone instead? i'm actually rather more fond of it than Arisia -- more literary (though not as much so as Readercon in July) and low-key than Arisia, though perhaps less of a whole con experience for that reason. but nice!

Hey! And Guy Consolmagno will be there! He's a former Skinner!

It is certainly worth consideration...
