arisia?

[aamcnamara]

It has come to my attention that Arisia happens in Boston in January, which just so happens to be when I will be in Massachusetts for my college's J-term. (Or not a coincidence, since the J stands for January, but anyway.)

Being a big fan of SFF conventions, I am pondering attending. However, I haven't heard a lot about Arisia, probably because I've always lived halfway across the country from it. So: what manner of con is it? About how large? Knowing what you know of me, would I enjoy it?

Many thanks.
