PulpFest 2016 will begin tomorrow. Dealer set-up will take place from 4 to 11 PM. All members will be able to register for the convention from 4 to 8 PM, right outside our dealers’ room in Battelle South, a 21,600-square-foot exhibition hall, located across from the Regency Ballroom’s foyer in the Greater Columbus Convention Center. There will be early-bird shopping in the dealers’ room from 6 to 9 PM for loyal attendees who help the convention by staying three nights at our host hotel. The cost is $30 for those who stay elsewhere. Our full programming slate for the evening will begin at 9:10 PM. If you have not yet booked a room for your stay, call 1-888-421-1442 to reach the Hyatt Regency. Perhaps there has been a cancellation.
If you can’t find a room at the Hyatt Regency Columbus, you’ll find a list of area hotels courtesy of the Greater Columbus Convention Center at www.columbusconventions.com/thearea.php. Alternately, you can search for a room at tripadvisor or a similar website to find a hotel near the convention. Thanks so much to everyone who has reserved a room at our host hotel. You’ve helped to ensure the convention’s success.
Please travel safely to Columbus. We look forward to seeing you at PulpFest 2016.

(Children — and small aliens — who are accompanied by a parent — or by an astronaut — and are fifteen years of age or younger, will be admitted to PulpFest 2016 free of charge. So please bring your family.
Leo Morey was the regular cover artist for AMAZING STORIES, beginning with the January 1930 number, a role he would largely retain until the magazine was acquired by Ziff-Davis in 1938. We don’t believe he had a thing for kidnapping aliens — as depicted on the front cover of the March 1932 AMAZING — and we honestly hope you don’t show up with one. Unless, of course, you are an astronaut wearing a glass helmet.)
