PulpFest 2012 is now accepting registrations for our August convention. From our Registration page, you’ll be able to download our member and dealer registration forms, including ones that you can fill in and print from your own computer. You can pay for memberships and dealer tables through our Paypal Order page. You’ll also be able to book a room at the Hyatt Regency Columbus at the convention rate of $109 plus tax by visiting our special link to the hotel.

On our Programming page you’ll find our tentative schedule for the 2012 convention when we’ll be celebrating the centennial of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Mars and the 80th anniversary of Robert E. Howard’s Conan of Cimmeria. You can read more about MIke Resnick, our award-winning guest of honor by turning to the GOH–Mike Resnick page. If you’d like to relive the first three PulpFests, you’ll find reviews, our blogs from previous years, and more. We even have a primer on pulp history!

All this can be found by clicking the buttons along the left side of our home page. And don’t forget, now’s the time to make your nominations for the 2012 Rusty Hevelin Service Award. Please send the name of the person that you’d like to nominate and a short paragraph describing your reasons for your nomination to Mike Chomko, 2217 W. Fairview St., Allentown, PA  18104-6542 or to mike@pulpfest.com. The deadline for nominations is April 30, 2012.

We look forward to seeing you over the weekend of August 9-12.

If you want to pay for your registration through PayPal, you can use the handy buttons below. If you’re a dealer who plans to set up at the convention, remember that a 3-day membership is required for you and for all of your helpers who will be attending the show.

After deciding on your membership level, click on the appropriate PayPal button. A PayPal shopping cart window will open, listing your order. If you want to add additional items to your order, click the "continue shopping" button. When you are finished with your order, click "proceed to checkout." Next, you’ll be asked to log into your PayPal account. After logging in, review your order, and if it is correct, click the "pay now" button. Your payment will be deposited into the PulpFest PayPal account (jassways@woh.rr.com).

For Dealers

PulpFest 2012 will have over 100 six-foot tables in its 15,800 square-foot dealers’ room. Wall tables will cost $80 and island tables will be $70. Wall tables and placement within the dealers’ room will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. All dealers will also be required to purchase three-day memberships for themselves and for any helpers accompanying them to PulpFest.

There will be no height restrictions on any tables. Displays will be allowed on tables as long as they can stand safely. Please use common sense and courtesy to design your displays. All members registering as dealers must have material for sale at their tables. If you have any special needs–electrical outlets, a desire to be positioned near certain dealers, unique display requirements, and so on–please let us know when you register. All registered dealers will be listed on the Dealers page of the PulpFest website with a description of the materials they will be selling at the convention.

Although the focus of PulpFest 2012 will be pulp magazines and related materials, vintage paperbacks, digests, men’s adventure and true crime magazines, first edition hardcovers, series books, dime novels, original art, Big Little Books, B-movies and serials and related collectibles, old-time-radio shows, and Golden and Silver Age comic books can also be sold. Please remember that PulpFest is not a comic book convention. Sexually explicit material, including Playboy, Penthouse, and Oui, will not be allowed.

Dealer set-up will take place on Thursday, August 9th from 4 - 11 PM. After setting up their tables, all dealers and their helpers are to leave the dealers’ room. There will be no buying, selling, or browsing allowed on Thursday during dealer set-up. All dealers are expected to set up on Thursday evening by 11 PM.
