   I always thought it was weird that a convention was named after the bad guys in E.E. Doc Smith’s books.

   Very cool! Will definitely be making sure to get there next year, then. =)

   Great. Already bought my tickets to go for next year, and will be dragging the boyfriend as well. The problem is that all of my books authored by you are in storage a thousand miles away. Yarg.

   Well, I guess that’s a good excuse to dig through boxes of books when I fly back home to see my parents.

   Sweet! Will we be finally getting Scalzi: The Collected Shorts as the NESFA GoH book next year?

   I’ll have to come up with an item for you to do in the kids’ area (Dragonslair).

   The possibilities may amuse me for hours…

   I always thought it was funny. I assume that at least some of the original organizers were MIT people, and this fits the sense of humor that seems to be common amongst the MIT people I’ve known.

   Um, why would you want a collection of his … oh, his short stories! Never mind.

    I’ll need to try and make it to some of Boskone, then.

    Scalzi you EVIL MAN. Now I have to go to Boston. In the winter.

    My husband and I started going to Boskone because of you, John Scalzi – and now my in-laws join us for the fantastic fun!

    When I heard you were the GoH, I signed up for next year’s festivities with extreme prejudice!

    Yay!

    Indeed, Boskone – and the sponsoring organization – the New England SF Association – have MIT roots. See this: http://www.nesfa.org/boskone/boskone-history.html .

    NESFA is one of three SF clubs with their own buildings. The others being the Los Angeles SF Society and the BAltimore SF Society.

    I would very much like whatever book is published to contain “Questions for a Soldier” – it’s the only one I can’t obtain at a reasonable price as a recent convert to Scalzinia (it’s supposedly in Subterranean #8, but since #7 was published 4 years ago I’m not holding my breath).

    Woohoo! I might actually make it there for the first time in three years.

    Intriguing. I have yet to attend a Boskone, but I just might pony up the cash next year…
