Geekery for grrrls

If you live in or near the Happy Valley, this looks like it could be fun.

ConBust is a sci-fi/fantasy/anime/gaming convention put on each spring by students at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts.

What sets ConBust apart from most other sci-fi, fantasy, anime, and/or gaming conventions is its focus on the female members of the participating community. While the various realms of geekdom remain stereotypically male-dominated, ConBust is held to celebrate the work of women amongst these genres.

It's going on through Sunday. The roster of speakers looks interesting and admission is very affordable.
