Anticipation, the 2009 Worldcon, is in Montreal, Canada.
I may make Boskone 2009. I will make Arisia, since I'm working on it. (I've been on the Hotel Liaison Staff since 2001, and did their souvenir book form 2001 through 2004.)
Boskone tends to have better guests but suffer in other areas, and Arisia (begun as a splinter group) is about double the size.
Whether I make Boskone is largely determined by who will be there. I attended a few years ago because Fred Pohl was a Special Guest, and I thought it might be the last chance I'd have to see him and thank him for his contributions to the field. He agreed the field would have been different had he not been in it, but was neutral on whether his presence made it better.
