Doc Con 11<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Speaking of pulp conventions, I\u2019m remiss for not mentioning this earlier: Doc Con 11<\/a> is coming up in less than a week, on Saturday, Nov. 1, at Courtney Rogers\u2019<\/strong> house in Glendale, Ariz. (just northeast of Phoenix).<\/p>\n

What better way to fill you in than with an e-mail that this year\u2019s host sent out recently:<\/p>\n

Doc Con 11 is upon us! Doc Con 2008 t-shirts are in hand, as well as the official Doc Con 11 booklet The Big Book of Bronze<\/em>. Admission to the con is $20, which will get you a shirt and a book.<\/p>\n

The Big Book of Bronze<\/em> is 74 pages and crammed full of articles and pictures and activites. For those not attending the con, copies can be purchased through lulu.com<\/a> for $9.95 pus shipping.<\/p>\n

Glendale, Ariz., is the locale this year, and just happens to be at my home. The con \u201cofficially\u201d starts at 10 a.m. sharp, so you will want to arrive sometime between 9 and 10 a.m.<\/p>\n

We have a mixture of new and old features. Since we are celebrating the 75th anniversary of Doc Savage<\/em><\/a> magazine, we start the con with a magnificent video on Doc Savage Begins<\/em>, brilliantly put together by William Lampkin (and Courtney Rogers – ed.)<\/em>. From there we have a presentation on Fred Pfeiffer<\/strong> and Len Leone<\/strong>, another unearthed Hidalgo Trading Company lost crate found by Glenn Hodges-Horner<\/strong>, an interactive Doc Savage Challenge created by Jay Ryan<\/strong> (it\u2019s a stunner!), a James Bama<\/strong> favorite cover art poll (and maybe more interesting… least favorite covers!), a raffle, sale table and giveaway table, commemorative card signing, card signings for James Bama, Bob Larkin<\/strong> and Len Leone, and Bronze fellowship! Superamalgorgeous!<\/p>\n

We had a very successful Bob Larkin print promotion where we purchased 75 autographed cover prints from Bob. We were going to present these at the con, but everyone was too eager to have them in their hands, so they were handed out at the last Doc Day! We will have a few available to purchase at the con, and if interest allows, may make another order from Bob. Bob’s wife has cancer and our modest purchases have helped with some of their medical expenses.<\/p>\n

Some of us plan to get together for dinner and a possible radio play recording at Jay Ryan’s house on Halloween evening. Anyone interetsed in joining us, please let me know.<\/p>\n

If you need Doc Con information, e-mail me at cmr007@netzero.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n

See you on Nov. 1!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Don\u2019t forget to bring a Doc- or pulp-related item or two to trade if you\u2019re interested in participating in the raffle.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll echo what Courtney said: Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n
