Attended Pulpfest this year and took a few photos which I thought were worth sharing. All thanks to the wonderful work by the
organizing committee - Jack Cullers, Barry Traylor, Mike Chomko, Chuck Welch, Sally Cullers and William Lampkin and a supporting cast of thousands :-). This was a tough year, with a changed venue and first time setup to deal with, but they pulled off a magic trick and got us a better location than last year, with better lighting and facilities.

I arrived late, left my luggage in the car and went straight to the registration desk - hoping to beat my fellow collectors to the early bird shopping spree.
