Boskone 62 Convention Report

The flight from Montreal was about 1h30m. Montreal had just finished the first of two snow storms, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Terry and I met up with Jannie at the airport. After checking in, and grabbing a bit to eat at MJ's - we went to registration. It was great to see so many familiar and friendly faces. I met Carl Fink, Angela Jones, and the tech wizard, Hobbit.

Then it was off to man the fan table. The dealer's room was already hopping. It was fun watching art show set up, and of course seeing so many people being curious about the Montreal bid for a 2027 Worldcon.

Friday night we had a social. It was well attended. 

But it was Saturday night's party that everyone was waiting for. Of course, it had to be a smoked meat party. We had the requisite smoked meat on golden rye bread (with mustard of course), and bagels with cream cheese. Special thanks to Bridgette for the kitchen help. Jannie stationed herself behind an ironing board, off which she served bagels, cream cheese, and Montreal lore.

We ran out of smoked meat pretty quick--which is a great sign that the party was well attended and appreciated.

Getting home was a bit of a trial as Montreal had a second snowstorm hit on Sunday - and a total of 30-odd cm fell atop the already 40+ cm from Thursday's storm. There was also a plane crash in Toronto on Monday afternoon (you might have heard about it). So all of that led to a lot of delays. Regardless, we all made it home safe.
