Pulp convention season nears

It used to be a big deal when the Pulpcon flier arrived in the mail. There would be numerous posts on the Yahoo pulp groups and the pulp news groups about what was in it.

The PulpFest flier arrived in the mail recently, but there was hardly a peep online about its arrival.

It wasn’t because no one is interested in what is in it. No, it’s because the PulpFest folks — Jack Cullers, Barry Traylor, Mike Chomko, Ed Hulse and Chris Kalb — do a wonderful job keeping us up-to-date with the second annual PulpFest developments through the convention’s Web site and with their posts to the various pulp groups.

(Check out its Web site for complete details on the July 30-Aug. 1 convention in Columbus, Ohio.)

No more waiting with baited breath for the postman to bring pulp convention news.

Speaking of pulp conventions… It’s less than a month away from the Windy City Pulp & Paperback Convention, near Chicago.

You can find all the pertinent information regarding the April 23-25 convention on its Web site, too.

Following quickly on Windy City’s heels, the 14th annual Fantastic Pulps Show & Sale will be Saturday, May 8, in Toronto, Ont. See the Girasol Collectable’s Web site for details on this show.

To see what other pulp-related gatherings are coming up, keep an eye on ThePulp.Net‘s own pulp events listing right on the front page of the site.
