Earlier: Both these groups are meeting and voting today. Meeting, voting and I hope they’re fighting too, so then I won’t feel so bad for my own temper flareup in the BOFCA post last night. This group of Boston Critics today are the real Boston Critics not the Boston Online Cyber-Critics we posted yesterday. If you need proof that the Boston group today are the real deal you can look up their reviews (Online) and see for yourself.
