762.1	A bit more info, please...	ATSE::BLOCK	With a mind of magic & a magical mind	`Fri Apr 07 1989 14:20`	11
	Dave, Is this going to be another limited dealers/art show/films Con, or is it opening back up a bit? I agree that the last big Boskone was out of hand, but the art show and all-night films were a big attraction. Thanks, Beverly
762.2	What's the news.	JETSAM::WILBUR		`Fri Apr 07 1989 14:48`	4
	ya, It's pretty sad when I'll go to Balticon but not Boskone.

	There will be limits, I'm sorry to say, but it is opening up a bit. There will be films, but not all night; all convention activities terminate about 2 a.m. both nights. Do you have specific questions? (If you'd like, you can write me or the committee off-line.) Dave C.
762.4	Springfield S..Ks	ANOVAX::WHITE	Fm the rolling hills of Pennsylvania	`Tue Apr 18 1989 15:23`	14
	Yes, the con as it has been done in Springfield has for myself and two other of my friends who have been comming to the con for the last 11 years has been a grave dissapointment. We will not be attending the con this year in protest but will instead go another around the same time. I wish that N.E.S.F.A. would consider going back to Boston and dropping some of the restrictions. What would really be nice is if NESFA would send a survay out to the people who have been attending the con for five or more years and see what they all have to say about the last con's in Springfield .
