Find Local Fandom 

If you live in this area the Baltimore Science Fiction Society (BSFS) is the place to go for science fiction fun year-round. Even if you live in other places, there are most likely science fiction fan groups near you. Check online and use Meetup. There may be one at a local university. Ask your local library if they know of one. If there is no fan group, start one! Every science fiction club started because a bunch of fans got together and said, let’s organize! Talk to existing groups; they would love to help. 

Volunteers Still Needed 

 You’ve been to the art show, seen some panels, and are now looking for something new? Volunteer! Volunteering is a great way to see another side of the convention while helping out your fellow fans. There are still lots of jobs that need you! Visit the volunteer desk. And don’t forget to report volunteer hours using
