Boskone
We are back from Boston, and had an awesome time at Boskone. (https://www.boskone.org/)
It's fairly large, around a 1000 attendees, on three levels of the hotel's programming area, so I didn't run into half the people I wanted to see but met a bunch of cool new people and got to see some old friends. I signed a bunch of books and did a reading from Network Effect, and was on five panels.
It was also really freaking cold, including being around 17-10F on Friday, the day we went out and saw both the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum https://www.gardnermuseum.org/ and part of the Boston MFA https://www.mfa.org/ which is so large it exists in its own dimension in time and the interior shifts around like a Tardis, especially when you're trying to find a bathroom.
On Saturday, which wasn't much warmer, someone accidentally broke a sprinkler pipe in the parking garage and the heat went off in the hotel for a while, then at 6:00 am on Monday we had no hot water in our room. But other than that, it was a great hotel.
It was a long day to get home, getting to the airport around 7am and arriving home after 6 pm. Today I have a dentist appointment for me and a vet visit for one of the cats.
