PulpFest 2010 — Last Minute Updates
Posted by Damon Sasser on July 22nd, 2010
PulpFest 2010 is only a week away and some last minute updates have been posted in the Latest News section of their website.
The schedule is almost complete – one of the “New Fictioneers” readers canceled, but a replacement for the slot is in the works.
Also The Pulpster, the official PulpFest program, is finished and ready to go. This is the 19th edition of the publication and the first to have a color cover.
One of the main focal points of PulpFest 2010 will be the 90th anniversary of the legendary Black Mask magazine, which was launched in April 1920 by H. L. Mencken and George Jean Nathan.
The best way to stay informed about PulpFest is to subscribe to their updates. Just fill in the blanks in the email list section of the home page, answer the confirmation email and you can stay in the loop on all things related to the convention.
So, if you are in the Columbus, Ohio area or can get there, you don’t want to miss PulpFest 2010. And you won’t be alone – each year there is a sizable contingent of Robert E. Howard fans who attend — no doubt on the prowl for copies of Weird Tales and other pulps with Howard content.
Finally, an added incentive to attend will be Don Herron. The Godfather of Howard Scholarship will be there with high hopes of snagging this year’s Munsey Award.
