For the last few years, PulpFest has organized a group dinner on the last evening of the convention. Dining together on Saturday has been a long-standing tradition at summer pulp cons. It gives everyone the chance to break bread together, while batting the bull about pulps and collecting. This year, PulpFest will be dining informally at ember & vine, located right in the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Pittsburgh — Cranberry. It’s the perfect place to gather, grab a bite, and relax.
Last year’s dinner buffet at the DoubleTree was a real hit. PulpFest chairman Jack Cullers will be consulting with hotel staff to come up with this year’s menu, available at a reasonable price. Further details will be made available at the convention.
Although this is a strictly informal gathering, seating is limited. So be sure to sign up early to assure your participation in this entertaining event. Last year’s dinner was a resounding success. You can let us know if you’d like to attend when you register for PulpFest 2018 or wait until convention time. Just let us know by 1 PM on Saturday, July 28, that you’ll be coming. We will need to give our hotel a head count. We look forward to gathering with you and talking about our wonderful shared interest — the pulps and popular fiction and art!
(On Saturday evening, July 28, from 5 to 6:30 PM, join your friends — old and new — at ember & vine in the heart of the DoubleTree Cranberry. It’s an opportunity to socialize after a hearty day of collecting in the PulpFest dealers’ room, prior to taking in the convention’s exceptional evening programming. And remember, unlike this soldier — painted by Chris Schaare for the July 5, 1928 WAR STORIES — you should be able to get seconds at the buffet.)
