PulpFest

PulpFest is Open for Business

FlyerAfter a couple of weeks of grueling work by our communications department, the PulpFest website has been fully updated. Except for the pages referring to conventions past, each and every page was examined from top to bottom and improved using the ideas of both organizing committee members and you, our dedicated supporters. Thank you to everyone for your help and encouragement as we prepare for the 43rd annual summer pulp con. It will be held at the Hyatt Regency Columbus starting on Thursday evening, August 7th and running until mid-afternoon on Sunday, August 10th. So what are you waiting for? Click on the link above, reserve a room, and make your plans to attend PulpFest 2014!  

You’ll find plenty to like about the new and improved home page of your PulpFest.  We’ve added a downtown restaurant guide, provided by the good people at Experience Columbus. You’ll find it near the bottom of our hotel page, under “Details.” You’ll also be able to learn about parking venues near our host hotel and even link to an interactive parking map to guide you to the cheapest parking in the city. And if you’d like to learn a little more about the town that hosts our annual get-together, including The International Exhibition of Sherlock Holmes at the Center of Science and Industry, stop by the “Visiting Columbus” page. You’ll find links to many of the fine neighborhoods of Ohio’s state capital, including the German Village and the Brewery District.

This year, your summer pulp con rolls out a whole new way to thank loyal attendees who help to defray the convention’s substantial costs by staying three nights at our host hotel: PulpFest will be offering free early-bird shopping to those who stay at the Hyatt Regency. That’s a savings of $30! And we have not forgotten our dealers. For those dealers who will be staying at the Hyatt Regency ColumbusPulpFest is pleased to offer a third table free for every two tables that you rent, a tremendous savings. That’s buy two and get one free to thank you for helping to defray the convention’s substantial costs by staying at the host hotel. Please visit our registration page to learn more about these great deals and much more.

William Lampkin, editor of The Pulpster and creator of The Pulp.Net, designed the 2014 flyer that will promote this year’s PulpFest. Bill used Graves Gladney’s front cover art to the July 1939 Astounding Science Fiction.
