Visit 2003's Look at the Past

These three items are from 2003.

On September 6, STAR co-hosted some OK hotshots.

Our Open House was in October.

The cover to December's Galactic Gazette, assembled by yours truly, featured images from STAR OKC's first 25 years (which ended in 1998).

What were you doing, fanwise, in 2003?

  

ThunderCon 2 in '92!

Sounds like a great campaign slogan, eh?

Above are the front and back of the only flyer I have.  (Some other TCons had more than one version of the flyer.)

And above is Scooter's badge.

Here's the pocket program.  

What are your memories of ThunderCon 2?

  

NOSFAratu and Russell Bates

Presented by the Norman Oklahoma Science Fiction Association, and sponsored by Southside/Planet Comics, it was NOSFAratu.

I don't remember a dang thing about it.  The month or day?  Nope.  However, I have proof that i was there!

You see, the briefcase was mine, and the stuff you see on it was the stuff I was trying to sell.  That means I had a dealer's table.  Oh, and the guy making like a model for an instant-camera commercial?  That's the late lamented Russell Bates, native Oklahoman and author of the STTAS episode "How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth."  I'd met him at BabelCon 1 in 1980, when he was bemused by my Vulcan character Selik.  You can learn more about Russell and Selik by typing that name "Selik" in the search bar at the left.

Do you recall NOSFAratu?
