Introduction
Last month, sci-fi fans descended on Boston’s Westin Waterfront Hotel for Boskone–” the longest-running science fiction convention in New England!”
As in previous years, Bokone 54 featured gaming, demos, a speculative art show, readings, panels, “filking,” kids’ activities, and the opportunity to meet some of the premier authors and artists in the field.
In the photo above, attendees gather around posters by Official Artist, Dave Seely.
