Windy City Pulp & Paper Convention

I'm going to this next weekend. Lots of dealers of old books, magazines, artwork, etc. There's going to be a film fest as well, showing flicks based on western and mystery pulp stories. I've gone the past few years, and I always find some good stuff.

wish we had something like this in my neck of the woods. We've got a pop-culture fair that happens in the spring which is a mish-mash of stuff and we've also got a Speculative Fiction (read; Modern sci-fi/fantasy) festival complete with a conference and stuff but that's about it.

I wish I would have known about this sooner as well. This looks fucking rad.
