It’s May and we are starting to pull together the planning and logistics for next year’s Boskone. However, before we get too far along in the process, let’s take a moment to look back at Boskone 53 and some of the people who made the convention possible as well as some of the highlights from the convention.
Our volunteers arrived on Thursday afternoon and began the unpacking process.
Here is a picture of our volunteers unloading the truck that was packed full of Boskone 53 gear. This is one of those essential, yet thankless jobs that makes Boskone possible. So, THANK YOU!!!!
David Hartwell Memorial Panel
David Hartwell, we will miss you! The love and caring that filled the room was overwhelming and incredibly touching.
NESFA Press released The Grimm Future and Conspiracy! at Boskone53, and we celebrated both releases at the annual Boskone Book Party in the Galleria, which features authors and publishers who have new books coming out within a few months of the convention. It was a great event and the cakes were not only beautiful, but incredibly tasty!
