I really can't say anything about Arisia. But Boskone isn't like Readercon. Readercon is in a class by itself. Boskone is sort of like a mini Worldcon, I think. It had almost all the tracks, though I don't remember if it had gaming. It had a lot of costumes running around and an entire day of different forms of fighting.
A lot of names go to Boskone. I spent last year in networking activities. I think I didn't sit through an entire panel, though I was able to catch a couple of readings and see parts of panels. I didn't do the parties, so I can't say whether they were any good. I was constantly busy, but part of that was because Greg was there. He won't be there this year.
