I’m cross-posting my annual roundup of PulpFest reports here on my blog, as well as on the PulpFest website.
As I mention below, I’m still editing the audio recordings of most of the PulpFest 50 panels. It’s taking longer than anticipated, but I hope to have them posted in September.
So, on with the reports:
- Let’s start things off with a con preview, rather than a con report. Pittsburgh’s NPR news station, 90.5 WESA, published this article on PulpFest 50 and the pulps the day before the convention began.
- Michael Brown offers up his thoughts on his first trip to PulpFest next door at The Pulp Super-Fan blog.
- CGC Forums has a PulpFest 50 report thread in the Pulp Magazines area where several members have uploaded photos from and posted comments about convention.
- Lewis Forro, posting as “The Leader,” has some fun with his photographic review from PulpFest 50 on his blog, The Leader’s Chronicles.
- Ron Fortier at his Airship 27 blog provides a look at his PulpFest 50 adventures, along with photos. Unfortunately, his travels to and from the convention weren’t as enjoyable as the con was.
- Mike Glyer has posted about this year’s Munsey Award winner, Rick Lai, at his award-winning File 770 blog.
- You can find my photo coverage of PulpFest 50 here on my blog. My photos — and those of others — were posted to Instagram using #pulpfest50.
- Walker Martin, one of the few who attended the first Pulpcon 50 years ago and continues to regularly attend PulpFest, provides his annual con report on Steve Lewis’ Mystery*File blog.
- Charlton 66 recorded a video report of PulpFest 50. Though he mostly discusses comics in his other videos, he devotes about 20 minutes of this video to PulpFest and the pulps. The link starts the video at his discussion of PulpFest.
- Meteor House has posted videos of Farmercon XVII panels at PulpFest 50 on its YouTube channel.
- PulpFest has started its own YouTube channel. The first video posted is the “Hemingway & Hammett: A Life In Parallel” panel from PulpFest 50. It features novelists Craig McDonald and William Patrick Maynard exploring the striking parallels in the lives and stripped-down writing styles of authors Ernest Hemingway and Dashiell Hammett.
- The Pulp Event Podcast has over 11 hours of audio recordings from PulpFest 50. In addition to hearing to them on ThePulp.Net, you can also listen and subscribe to the podcast via Apple Podcasts; Castbox.fm; Amazon Music; and Spotify.
If I’ve missed a PulpFest 50 report, please mention it in the comments (and provide a link), and I will update this post and the one at PulpFest.com.
