Boskone 49 was pleasant, the weather was very un-Boston.

Lots of friends to see, to talk to.  Sold quite a few books, bought a
bunch of  the new Scalzi book "24 Frames into the future" published by
NESFA. here's a lovely picture of author & book:

signed by John, I'll bring some to WSFA.

The daily newsletter, Helmuth Speaking For Boskone, noted that 1200 +
badges were distributed at the con.

There were all of 2 open parties Saturday night.  *sigh*

Unfortunately John had to leave early Sunday due to the unexpected
death of his father-in-law:

Cat Valente seemed rather happy over the weekend ... now we know why,
her WSFA Press book is up for a Nebula.

Next year is Boskone 50.  No guests announced yet.
