PulpFest 50 kicks off today.
As I mentioned in Tuesday’s post, I’m uploading photographs to ThePulp.Net’s Instagram feed throughout PulpFest 50.
Watch below for photographs and captions from Thursday’s events. The pulp-magazine convention officially begins with early registration at noon, which is when the dealers’ room opens for early-bird shoppers; and programming begins shortly after 7 p.m.
The images appear shortly after they have been posted, so check back for updates throughout the day.
There is a complete schedule for PulpFest 50 on its website.
Please feel free to comment at the bottom of this post, or like or share the images on Instagram or on other social media. I’m using the hashtag #pulpfest50 on my photos from the convention; I encourage you to do the same.
