1990 - SoonerCon 6 Program Book, Part the Fourth and Last

Of the two fan groups above, Serendipity is still alive and well.









With these images we conclude the SoonerCon 6 Program Book.

By the way, our charity in 1990 was the YWCA Battered Women's Shelter, and SoonerCon 6 donated $2000 to them.

Thanks for stopping by!  See you in 2019!

1990 - Soonercon 6 Program Book, Part 3

SoonerCon 6 was November 2-3-4, 1990, at the Central Plaza Hotel.  Here are pages 20-29 of the Program Book.


Don't we all need a friendly computer store?




I believe it was at this PsurrealCon that I participated with Larry Nemecek in a panel called "The Ersatz Spock versus the Unreal McCoy."  Of course, Larry played Ye Olde Doc.




 Speaking of the ThunderChief, ThunderCon 1 took place the next May-June!



And the Artist GOH at RocKon 15, Belinda Christ, was later a President of Star OKC (a lesser of her accomplishments).

The rest of the Program Book next time.  Thanks for stopping by!

SoonerCon 2007 Publicity Materials

Here are some publicity materials for SoonerCon 2007, "Visitors from Beyond."
 The above is an over-busy early flyer.

 The above is a fun concept which could have been executed better, but I still like the idea.  Talk about a postcard flyer!
Another over-busy design which wasn't distributed.

Thanks for stopping by!

SoonerCon 2008: Pieces of '08 Relic

I bought this lovely at the Charity Auction for SoonerCon 2008.  It's still my go-to mousepad for PARD (Pretty Awesome 'riting Device), on which this little Blog Post is being crafted even now.

Here is a cleaned-up version.

Sad but true … the brilliant concept art was another product of my meagre graphic skills.  Pirates plus sci-fi must result in an alien's skull, with an eyepatch, on a skull-and-crossbones.  It's only logical … right?

1990 - Soonercon 6 Program Book, Part 1

SoonerCon 6 took place on November 2-3-4, 1990, at the Central Plaza Hotel.

Our fine cover art is by Alicia Austin.


Our charity was the YWCA Battered Women's Shelter, the same as SoonerCons 4 and 5.   Our total given to our charity this year was $2000.  And we were thankful to help.

 At the time, Paul Cherry was President of STAR OKC.  Leonard Bishop was con chair, with vice-chair & dealers wrangler Gerald Burton.  You can read the other credits yourself.
 Lois McMaster Bujold was GOH; Art GOH was Alicia Austin, with Toastmaster William F Wu.


Well, that's it for this installment, friends.  Don't forget to get your still-discounted Pre-Regs, at SoonerCon.com!

February, 1986 Galactic Gazette

In February, 1986, SoonerCon 1 was still being planned.

 This cover is a parody of the Dewar's Profile ads.

Mike Powell was the newly elected President.

 Tamara and Mike Hodge were STAR OKC Treasurer and SoonerCon Chair, respectively.
 This page begins a continuation of a long saga by Bob Higgs, called Remember the Heroes.




















The above page of filler by yours truly is one of the few products of my typing for which I cannot imagine a purpose.  Just filler.  Bleahh.

Sorry to leave you with "Bleahh," but that's the final page of the February, 1986 Galactic Gazette.

See you next time.
