PulpFest 2023 gets underway this afternoon in Pittsburgh (well, just outside in Mars, Pa.).
As in past years, I’ll be posting photos from PulpFest to ThePulp.Net’s Instagram feed later today through Saturday.
Early-bird shopping in the dealers’ room begins this morning (about the time this post goes live), but I’ll still be on the road to Mars. Programming begins this evening with the Welcome to PulpFest by committee chair Jack Cullers. That’s when I’ll start posting regularly.
So, watch below for photographs and captions from Thursday’s events. The images appear shortly after they have been posted, so check back for updates throughout the day.
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.
