PulpFest Update

Over the last few days, we've added a couple several new posts to the
PulpFest website. Visit www.pulpfest.com and take a look.

Additionally, we've mostly completed the programming schedule. Click
on the
programming button and you'll get a view of pretty much everything
that's
planned for the 2010 show.

Unfortunately, one of our "New Fictioneers" readers had to cancel at
the last
minute. So there's now one slot to fill. We're looking into some
possibilities
and hope to get that last slot filled in the next day or two.

As always, the best way to stay informed about PulpFest is to
subscribe to our
updates. Just fill in the blanks in the email list section of the home
page and
answer the confirmation email and you'll soon be in on all the "dirt"
of the
summer's pulp con.

The Doc Con XIII schedule is coming together nicely. On the bill this year
will be:

-- A Discussion about Arizona State University students' essays on Doc
Savage/Prof. Challenger (from "Lost World"), by Paul Cook

-- Doc's vest vs. Batman's utility belt (as well as their other gadgets), by
Steve Ringgenberg

-- A look at "Monk Mayfair as Doc Savage's Id," by Fred Forino

-- Something puzzling from the Doc Con quiz master, Glenn Horner

-- Something having to do with the Doc Savage Method of Self Development, by
Jay Ryan

-- The forgotten Doc Savage TV script, by me

-- A video retrospective of Doc Savage comic books, with contributions by
Howard Wright, Jay Ryan, Courtney Rogers and me

-- Doc Con After Dark will feature the screening of a video on the pulp era.

Of course, if anyone else would like to contribute a segment, please let me
know. We'd love to have you do something. (I'm this year's con coordinator.
Jay will be hosting the con at his home.)

The "official" con day is Saturday, Nov. 13, but Friday night, Nov. 12,
kicks of the gathering with a radio play re-enactment. Then Sunday morning,
Nov. 14, will be a breakfast for those wishing to get together one last
time.

Cost for the con will be $20 again this year, which includes a copy of "The
Big Book of Bronze, Volume 3."

Hope you can attend!
