michaeldthomasSF Signal put up an article about the death of science fiction conventions based on some Boskone rumors. As these things go, they then cast blame the Internets and its tubes.
My answer is no. As you all know,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rarelylynne and I go to a lot of conventions. Some are a bit stagnant, but they're not exactly dying. Other conventions are quite robust. I think there are two major factors for a convention's livelihood:
1- It is well run.
2- The convention has broad appeal.
So what do you all think?
