My Boskone plans

[ckd]

Go to con, see panels, buy not too much stuff in dealer's room, see more panels, see people, go home. Repeat on Sat, but arrive earlier. Repeat on Sun, but leave earlier.

More specifically? I'm not on program (again) so I can do the "whee, that looks fun" thing as far as programming choices. (Except of course for the time slots where I'd need bilocation or trilocation, because there's so much good stuff that there are overlaps. Ah well.)

I do not, at present, have specific plans for lunch or dinner any of Fri/Sat/Sun, but will be doing my best to keep up with the "2" part of 5-2-1 while including social opportunities. This means that if anyone would like to make plans, I'm open to suggestions. (Otherwise, my at-con meals will just be quick fuel runs to the Urban Pain in the Pru or something. Bah.)

I have inchoate plans for a run to Bluefin (Porter Exchange) for dinner on Sunday after the con. (It's too far to justify the time away from the con Fri or Sat, IMO.) Anyone interested in a sushi/Japanese food run?

I have a really weird question: I can't figure out who you are IRL -- obviously someone I see around, but... Can you tell me?

email to doctorann at yahoo please...

To do list for ckd at Boskone:

1) make sure autopope goes to the Discovery Channel shop by Faneuil Hall and buys feorag a Mythbusters T-shirt and, optionally, the Mythbusters bloopers DVD.

2) have fun.

Re 1), are we talking "remind him to when I see him" or are we talking "attempt to drag him there by main force unless he can prove he's already bought them"?

[feorag.livejournal.com]

I suspect that it will be somewhere in-between. He might need handing one of these (http://www.bostonvisit.com/visit/maps/t_map.gif) with the appropriate stations marked, for a start. If you have time to drag him there by main force, then please do so - otherwise he might get lost.

LOL Maybe he can lasso him!

I didn't know it was this weekend, and don't really want to shell out the $50-odd last minute. Though I am tempted.

However, if the Bluefin place really is as affordable as the link suggests, it would give me an excuse to come in and poke around downtown on Sunday, and then maybe catch up w/ you and anyone else and find out what all I missed, con-wise. I love sushi, but tend to just assume it's out of my price range if it doesn't come from the supermarket.

Or maybe I can be persuade to come to the con just Sunday. There's an awful lot of reading to listen to, aside from everything else, even if I don't recognize most of the authors.

[ckd]

Oh, come to the con!

Bluefin has some nice platter pricing for sushi-by-the-piece. The larger the order, the cheaper each piece is...great for groups.

[eanja]

You may be persauding me. :=)

I don't think I've ever been to Boskone, mainly because it used to be further out, but you'd think the more bookish side of it would appeal to me.

Is there somewhere we can catch up at the end if I come? I seem to have misplaced my cell phone, and there's no guarantee I'll find it by the weekend.

[ckd]

I always go to the Sunday 2pm funny panel, so we can meet there before/during/after.

[eanja]

Uh, which is the funny panel. Looking at the schedule, the only funny looking program item at the time is the Urban Legend Smackdown- is that what you mean?

But I also have a work phone for the weekend, last minute, so I've filled out your contact poll. So you should be able to reach me, if not the other way around.

[ckd]

Yeah, that's the one.

[eanja]

I'm still waffling on whether I'm going to get down there, or try to do all the dull but sadly necessary things I had meant to do this weekend and didn't get to today.

So if you don't see me, that's why. It'll probably depend how I feel when I get up in the morning.
