7:00 PM Ghosts on TV: Why are there so many spirits on the screen these days?
Patricia Bray, Don D'Ammassa, MaryAnn Johanson, Paul Levinson, Faye Ringel (M)
While the traditional ghost story is slow to revive, ghosts in episodic TV are now commonplace. What is behind this phenomenon in series from "Rescue Me," "Ghost Whisperer" and the like? How do the hauntings (benevolent or malevolent) affect the show and the audience?
Saturday, February 18th
10:00 AM Reading (half-hour) Patricia Bray
Reading from THE FIRST BETRAYAL for those who are awake.
1:00 PM The Books That Ate My House
Patricia Bray(M), Don D'Ammassa, Geary Gravel, Parris McBride, Joe Siclari
When SF fans admit (with a certain embarrassment, to be sure) "I have piles," they may not mean what outsiders think. Let's talk about the challenges of living with way too many books, confess (OK, boast) about how many we have, and discuss possible solutions. Tesseract-shaped bookcases? Beating fuel prices in inventive new ways (hmm, what *is* the insulating value of paper?)? Or even (shudder) getting rid of some....?
2:30 PM Literary Beer Patricia Bray
The custom printed M&M's will make their Boskone debut at my table :-)

Date: 2006-02-01 02:18 pm (UTC)Kev and I will try to make your reading! We are enslaved to the art show for the convention, so our schedule is working around that and kids' programming (I looooove Boskone's kids' programming *happy sighs*).

Date: 2006-02-01 02:22 pm (UTC)Hope you're able to make it to the reading. If not, I'll track you down at the art show and make sure you at least get to share in the cool M&M's :-)

Date: 2006-02-01 02:27 pm (UTC)I should probably get around to posting eventually that I'll be in the art show most of the con (when not at a panel or shopping) and can be found with either knitting or laptop.
