Many thanks to the folks who run the Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention for not only putting on a great show, but for allowing PulpFest’’s Ed Hulse to talk about our convention during a break in the action at the Westin Lombard. The Windy’s support over the last two years has been tremendous.
If you’re north of the border on Saturday, May 8th, why not stop by the Lillian H. Smith branch of the Toronto Public Library for the 14th edition of Canada’s premier pulp event, the Fantastic Pulps Show & Sale? This small, but pulp specific event always features lots of great stuff for the collector and the curious alike. For further information, please write to Girasol Collectables at info@girasolcollectables.com.
Also held at the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Conference Center, the home for PulpFest 2010, Cinevent 42 will take place during Memorial Day weekend, May 28-31. In addition to 170 tables of movie-related collectibles such as posters, lobby cards, stills, pressbooks, DVDs, and 16 mm films, Cinevent features an extensive schedule of sound and silent films and a two-day auction of Hollywood movie posters. Please visit the convention’s website for further details.
Check your ammo and saddle up your horse and head for Cross Plains, Texas for Robert E. Howard Days 2010. The focus of this year’s programming will be the illustrators of Robert E. Howard. Jim and Ruth Keegan will be the guests of honor. This year’s Howard Days will take place June 11-12.
Just a few days before summer begins, Classicon 37 will take place at the University Quality Inn in Lansing, Michigan, just off US 127 at exit 78. There will be 35 tables and thousands of collectible vintage pulp magazines, digests, and paperbacks available for sale or trade as well as pinups, original artwork, and other pop culture material.

Of course, all these events will all be leading up to PulpFest, summertime’s great pulp con. Why not register today?
