Of particular note:
Every Readercon features a uniquely literary and entertaining Saturday night event (opposite a "mini-program" of panels, talks, and readings). This year we're proud to be inaugurating a variety show, A Most Readerconnish Miscellany, as a benefit for
Operation Hammond and
the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center. C.S.E. Cooney and Mike Allen will emcee this extravagant evening of music, theater, and readings. Bring cash or credit cards to make donations to our very worthy beneficiaries, all while being entertained by exquisite performers including Andrea Hairston and Pan Morigan, Daniel José Older, John Kessel, Sonya Taaffe, Caitlyn Paxson, and the renowned a capella group Sassafrass.
The event takes place on Saturday July 13. A speculative poetry open mic will warm up the crowd starting at 7 p.m.; if you'd like to participate, sign up in advance at the information desk. The variety show runs from 8 to 10 p.m. Don't miss this unforgettable event!
