Nicholas "phi" Shectman has twice chaired Arisia, a large, ambitious regional convention in Boston. He has held every executive position, most management positions, and many area positions in Arisia, and also volunteers for Boskone and occasional other conventions. He has twice chaired Somerville Open Studios, whose 400+ participating artists have in some years made it the largest single-weekend open studios event in the world. He likes to run bid parties so much that he was on both the Boston and Baltimore bid committees for 1998.
