BostonGeek will be heading to VeriCon in January to bring first-hand reports of all the festivities. Don’t worry, no cosplay for us.
If you don’t already know:
Vericon is a science-fiction, fantasy, gaming, and anime convention featuring many events and distinguished guest speakers. It has been held annually at Harvard University since 2001. The sixth Vericon will take place on Friday-Sunday, January 27-29, 2006. The convention is sponsored by the Harvard-Radcliffe Science Fiction Association (HRSFA), an undergraduate student group.
Of course, some of the best bits will be listening to a few of the long list of guest speakers. Did I mention the gaming? Lots of gaming, including two of may faves: Carcassonne and Zombies.
And, the best part being thats its all in Harvard Sq., one of my favorite places to walk around. If you want to join in the fun, pre-registration is open.
The cosplay! The horror!
I didn’t mention the LARPing as I figured it was too much for most.
So, this a definite thing? Should I be preregistering?
We pre-registered. We are definitely going.
The way I look at it, there are some good speakers there, some good games being played, and worst case scenario we ditch and hang in Harvard Sq.
true dat.
