Taking a Breather…But PulpFest Looms!

All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go. But I ain’t leavin’ on any jet plane. Nossir, I’m about to drive south to Winston-Salem, North Carolina for the Western Film Fair I mentioned here a few days ago. The show begins tomorrow afternoon and I can’t wait to unveil Blood ‘n’ Thunder’s Cliffhanger Classics and Blood ‘n’ Thunder’s Western Movie Roundup. Plus, I need a few days off. So this is the last update you’ll see for the rest of the week.

I just want to remind those of you who plan on attending PulpFest that July 15 is the deadline for booking hotel rooms at the special convention rate. I understand they’ve been moving briskly, too; the Hyatt recently informed PulpFest chairman Jack Cullers that the hotel has “shifted some inventory” to allot us more rooms than initially set aside for our group. We committee members are really excited about this year’s gathering, the first in our nifty new venue. The Hyatt Regency is an ideal convention hotel and well worth the money we’re paying, not only by virtue of its amenities but also for its proximity to a wide array of shops and restaurants in downtown Columbus.

The plethora of programming this year means we’re going to be running long all three nights, so staying at the Hyatt is the only realistic option if you don’t want to miss our late-evening sessions. So make your reservation now while you can still get the special PulpFest rate!
