lb_leeJanuary means that Arisia is coming up at the Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge January 17-20, 2025, and we'll be doing our usual tabling (in the dealer's room) and panels! We also are planning to have the brand spanking new omnibus of Madgic, with a shiny color cover and everything, so come check it out!
Hours for the dealer's room:
Friday 5-9pm
Saturday 10am - 7pm (closed for lunch 1-2 pm)
Sunday 10am - 7pm (closed for lunch 1-2 pm)
Monday 10am - 2:30pm
And our panels:
Third Spaces: (Central Square Saturday, January 18, 2025, 12:30 PM) Third spaces aren't home, and they aren't work. They're neutral places where people can gather as a community. Houses of worship, barbershops/salons, public libraries, and parks are all examples of third spaces. As we recover from pandemic isolation, how do we find affordable third spaces and make them welcoming? Can virtual communities serve as third spaces?
Funding a Life of Fandom - Financial Planning for Nerds: (202 Sunday, January 19, 2025, 1:45 PM) No lectures about avocados or coffee here! Learn how to build wealth at any state or stage of life to fund a life of fandom. We'll explore qualitative and quantitative measures of wealth and ways to generate it. A discussion of how to create and use resources will cover investment vehicles, analyzing goals, and finding a route to fulfill your plans.
Neurodiversity in Sci-Fi and Fantasy: (Central Square Sunday, January 19, 2025, 4:15) This panel will explore the history of neurodiversity in SF/F. From its existence in the genre and fandom to neurodiverse-coded characters, we’ll discuss what they get right and what they get wrong, as well as what the representation means for the community.
Hours for the dealer's room:
