In 2015, those of us here in South Florida were fortunate that Rich Harvey<\/strong> and Audrey Parente<\/strong> of Bold Venture Press<\/a> kicked off a version of Pulp AdventureCon<\/a> here in Ft. Lauderdale. I attended that first show, and enjoyed myself, as it was the first (and so far only) pulp con\/show I’ve been to.<\/p>\n

In February 2016, Pulp AdventureCon returned to Ft. Lauderdale (same location: Universal Palms Hotel). Several of the vendors from the first show were there. And there were a couple of new ones.<\/p>\n

Now, like the first one, it was just a dealer room where people could buy\/sell\/trade pulps, comics, books, art, and related materials. And chat with one another. No panel discussions or movies being shown or the like as I hear occurs at other cons. Maybe those will come as the convention grows.<\/p>\n

One big change this year was a special guest: actor John Martino<\/strong>, who appeared in The Godfather<\/em> as Don Vito Corleone<\/strong>‘s driver Pauli Gatto<\/strong>. He had a booth selling stuff, including a copy of the original movie script as well as a biography about him.<\/p>\n

As with last year, for me the main attraction was meeting and chatting with fellow fans and dealers. I picked up a few items (several of which will be reviewed here soon). And this year, I was able to join in the dinners with others on Friday and Saturday nights.<\/p>\n

I am told that they will have it again next year. \u00a0I look forward to that, and will try to help promote it as best I can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
