As mentioned in our post of March 24th, the PulpFest 2015 newsletters would soon be arriving in the mailboxes of our loyal and supportive members. If you have not received your copy of our newsletter and registration form by April 15th, please contact David J. Cullers at jack@pulpfest.com or at 1272 Cheatham Way, Bellbrook, OH 45305. Please let him know whether you want our member or dealer newsletter and he’ll get one off to you. If you would prefer not to wait, click on the words “member” and “dealer” in the preceding sentence to download copies of this year’s newsletters.
For those who have not yet received their newsletter, PulpFest 2015 will be sharing the Hyatt Regency with Matsuricon, a gathering of Japanese anime and pop culture enthusiasts. Although many of these fans will be coming for a single day, there may be quite a few who will be staying at the Hyatt Regency and other downtown hotels. Therefore, we are urging all of our members to book their hotel rooms for PulpFest 2015 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Apparently, the people who have already received their newsletters have taken our message to heart. Earlier today, we received a message from one of our regular attendees that there were no rooms left at the Hyatt Regency. Soon thereafter, the hotel rearranged a block of rooms to make more available to PulpFest attendees. However, the earlier you place your room reservation for this year’s PulpFest, the greater chance you have of landing a room.
The best deal for PulpFest members is to book a room at the Hyatt Regency Columbus. Our host hotel is offering a room rate of $116 plus tax per night that includes a complimentary parking pass with in-out privileges and free Wi-Fi. Additional parking passes for people sharing rooms are available for $10 each. Attendees who don’t want to go elsewhere for meals or libations can take advantage of the Hyatt’s cafe, coffee bar, and cocktail lounge. Fitness-minded members can enjoy the hotel’s indoor pool and sun deck, spa services, and gym.
So what are you waiting for? Call 1-888-421-1442 to book a room by telephone. You must register by July 1, 2015 and mention PulpFest to get the special convention rate. Alternately, you can register online by clicking here or the red “book-a-room” button on our home page. The room rate offered by the Hyatt Regency to PulpFest members is one of the best in the downtown area. Matsuricon members will be paying $123 per night, plus an additional $12 a day for parking. Dollar-for-dollar, the PulpFest rate at the Hyatt pretty much stifles the competition.
PulpFest 2015 will take place from August 13th through August 16th. The Hyatt will also honor the PulpFest rate on August 12th and August 17th. Remember, your stay at our host hotel helps to defray some of the convention’s substantial costs. Please show your support of PulpFest by booking a room at the Hyatt Regency Columbus.
(It’s not quite the Hyatt Regency, nor is it Columbus, Ohio, but Frank R. Paul’s “atomic city” painting served as the cover art for the program book of the 13th World Science Fiction Convention, held in Cleveland, Ohio in 1955.)
