prince_ericSo, after looking at the Boskone projected schedule , I've got the following
Friday
Probably none. The alma mater of my wife and I play the alma mater of one of her cousins, and so the four of us (wife, cousin, cousin's SO and myself) usually make an effort to go and see them play. Then again, I'm going to be at Boskone on Valentine's Day, so a Valentine's Day dinner may be on tap. Though should I somehow end up at the con there are a couple of panels that look tempting:
Friday 7:00pm Clarendon: Bloggers of the Fanosphere: the Best Weblogs by SF Fans and Pros
Friday 7:00pm Dalton: Worldbuilding in Historical Fiction
Friday 7:00pm Gardner: Beyond "It Rocks" or "It Sucks" — The Theory of Reviewing
Saturday
Saturday 10:00am Hampton: Not Just War Porn: The Best Military SF
Saturday 10:00am Ind. W: The Place of Kings
Saturday 12:00 n Clarendon: Opening the Iris: Stargate SG-1
Saturday 12:00 n Exeter: Why Not the War of 1812? What Turning Points Are Alternate History Writers Missing?
Saturday 12:00 n Fairfax: Legends of the Computer Age
Saturday 2:00pm Gardner: A Look at the Best Recent Fantasy
Saturday 2:00pm Hampton: Shadows Over Baker Street: SF&F Tie-ins to Mysteries
Saturday 4:00pm Fairfax: Beyond the Mythos: Influences of H. P. Lovecraft
Saturday 9:00pm Hampton: 1953: The Year in Review (Getting Ready for the Retro Hugos)
Sunday

Unfortunately, Saturday appears to be very clumped, with a bunch of neat-sounding stuff all happening at once. Sunday, OTOH, appears quite nice. Though I may bail on Sunday, also....
