No Boskone

Feb 17, 2007 15:08

Because of various things, I won't be attending Boskone this year, I'm afraid, much as I was looking forward to it since David Gerrold was the guest of honor. For one thing, the registration fee went up again, since they're holding it at the new convention center in Boston, instead of the Hynes, as they have in the past. For another thing, they're getting more strict with IDs. So, the other night, my dad and I went to the RMV to get me a state ID... and I found out that my temporary ID can't be used for ID purposes, plus the real ID won't show up in the mail for another five to ten days... So I decided to stay home and avoid a hassle over the ID. :: Sighs::

Consolation prize: I went to the Barnes & Noble in Salem, NH while my mom was at an appointment last night. Bought a few books, including Terry Prachett's "Eric" and Terry Windling and Eileen Datlow's "Snow White, Blood Red", which I've been looking for since forever.

sci-fi conventions, books
