Remember last September? Well, I just got back from Boskone XXII (the Green Line is *Slow*), and I was struck by an observation: many, many fans are *people*. It didn't really hit me until I got home and I noticed the contrast between the flat characters confined to line fragments imprinted on paper in the many little rectangles packed into my rectangle shelves, and the three dimensional people that had bustled about me at the con. True, there were some of those flat characters at the con too and you could _buy_ *them*, but you couldn't fill all the elevators with them. Has anybody else noticed this also, too?

If your question was actually like "can you fit enough fans/people into an elevator at *any* Boskone, regardless of the hotel?" the answer is "of course you can't". But it is quite amazing how many net.people you find roaming around at cons. Maybe some will get around to hacking the elevators. Mikki Barry
