Reminder, if you are near our Pratt Street building, we started unloading a little afternoon and could use some fresh hands.

Words cannot express how much I already miss my Balticon comrades. I cannot wait to go again and do panels!! And yeah, seeing someone get excited over your book is the bomb. Thank you for your hard work, great efficiency, and all-around (and all night!) boss programming @balticon.bsky.social

Talking to one of our volunteers/attendees, Jenny says that: "Balticon is one of those cons that's enough. So many cons aren't quite long enough, but with the extra day, #Balticon is actually enough."

We are already starting to pack up. You've got a little time to duck 🦆 into the gaming rooms and dealers room before they close for good. We're not quite ready to say goodbye, but the end is nigh.

When checking out the schedule and weighing between events, remember that some of the rooms are in-person, some are pure virtual, and some are HYBRID! The virtual rooms are labeled clearly, but as for the Hybrid rooms...

Baltimore Area SFF fans: If you're looking for plans for Thursday, we're having a potluck at 6:30pm!

Join SF fans for a Potluck picnic event at the BSFS Building. You can visit the family & then come on down to the BSFS Building to recover…

RSVP to Miriam at bsfs dot org to coordinate bsfs.org
November 22, 2023 at 4:20 PM
We're hanging out in the building and on Discord for some #NaNoWriMo writing sprints -- but non writers are welcome.

Someone said something about bringing donuts?

See bsfs.org for details.
