I'M SORRY YOU THINK YOU'RE TOO GOOD FOR BOSKONE :(

[the_wanlorn]

 
This is the beginning.

In other news, this weekend is Boskone! Which I am going to. I expect to spend the entire weekend running around the hotel with a bunch of other geeks. And not-buying things. Mostly, I'm excited for the filking and the Bruce Coville and the Tamora Pierce and the zombie panel.

Are any of you going? If you are and want to hang out, 774-280-1083. I swear I'll answer. Maybe.

:D: Woooooo zombie apocalypse! I actually rejected one of the houses I was looking at because it was next to a funeral home. You made me look at the Daily Mail >:(

Part of me kind of wants to live next to a funeral home because that means I'd be the first to know when the zombie apocalypse comes.

And then I remember that being the first to know doesn't help when there's a funeral home's worth of zombies pounding on your windows. >:(

That's why I didn't just post the link! I knew that I had to trick you guys into reading it. >:)

It's good to know that England will bear the brunt of the first wave of the zombie menace. If we nuke the country fast enough, we can nip this whole thing in the bud in time for tea and scones, wot wot.

What do you do with a diseased little island?

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Burn it. Burn it all to the ground. And then pave it over utterly. And then build a gigantic mall/amusement park that stretches from Scotland to Wales. Maybe a huge zoo/safari park in the middle. Oh yeah. I'm feeling the refurbishment of England. It can happen.

And here I was, thinking we could just turn it into the next Australia. After all, with the zombies taking care of the prisoners we dump, there'd be no chance of them re-colonizing it and trying to become a sovereign nation.

What's a Boskone? Is it a scone, made in Boston? Is it a special kind of ice cream cone? Is it a Bostonian Roscoe P. Coltrane? Come on, Flash, clue me in!

Hahaha it's a small sci-fi con! I GET TO TALK ABOUT GEEKY SCI-FI STUFF FOR A WHOLE WEEKEND.

If, you know, I can get over the whole scared-to-talk-in-front-of-strangers thing.

Ooooh, conventionalicious! I'll be doing one too in early April. Hosting a gaming event and talking smack and everything. Be there! It'll be made of awesome!

Oh hay, which one are you going to?

[pezzonovante.livejournal.com]

I won't be at Boskone (Arisia and Intercon sucked up my con budget), but a lot of the WPI contingent I hang out with will be there. You should say hi to them. They aren't scary at all

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

How was Arisia this year? I didn't end up going.

[pezzonovante.livejournal.com]

I noticed. I was sad. :'-(. I had a good time, apart from a breakup mid-con.

There seems to be a movement away from Arisia and towards Boskone among my friends. Something about the kink-friendly contingent taking over the con and making people who aren't into kink/sex issues somewhere between bored and uncomfortable.

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

Awwww. The only reason I chose Boskone instead of Arisia is that my favorite filker is the featured filker. *\o/* I need to plan my savings better this year so that I can maybe go to both next year. :D

[pezzonovante.livejournal.com]

*\o/*

Yeah, my ex is really big into the filking stuff and is going for the same reason. But the rest of my friends seem to be making a permanent move away from Arisia, unfortunately.

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

(Also, looking at the programming, Arisia still has better programming than Boskone.)

I'm not going to Boskone but I am going to Anime Boston WHICH YOU SHOULD GO TO AS WELL (AND SURELY WILL WANT TO AFTER YOU MARATHON MONSTER WITH ME SOMETIME THIS WEEK :D).

I still feel vaguely guilty about the pancakes btw, we came after our screening which ended at like 8:40 so we didn't even know if we'd make it in time! I wasn't going to try to meet anybody else outside of our class for pancakes because I might screw them out of the freeness! But still.

The eggs gave me an upset stomach for three days, if it makes you feel better. :D

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

Nrrrrrrgh I was trying to decide whether to go to Anime Boston or save money. SO, BASICALLY, I AM GOING TO ANIME BOSTON *\o/*

Also: when do you want to Monster it up? I mean, if you want you can come over every day after work 'cause I'm close enough to pick you up from home/school/whichever OR we can wait until next weekend and watch it all in one go OR we can do something else that's probably a better plan.
