Subj:	Greater Boston Area ConFan Calendar 1992.3

Sorry for the delay in getting out this third edition.  I like to extend
the coverage of this calendar to events in the entire BosWash magalopolis.
If someone can send me information on WSFA, BSFS, PSFS, Lunarians, etc., 
meetings, I'd be happy to include it and rename the calendar.

This calendar aims at convention/organized fandom and lists significant 
conventions outside the Boston area. It excludes student organizations. 
Although reasonable care has been taken in its compilation, you should check a 
primary source before depending on it. Last update 17 March 1992.

17 Jan 92 "Star Trek: The Astral Symphony" (star trek laser show) opened at
        the Boston Museum of Science, showing throughout 1992. 5:30pm Thur,
