Thanks for visiting more SoonerCon and OKC-fandom history. It's where we came from!
Begun in March 1973 as a part of the national Star Trek Association for Revival, STAR OKC was central Oklahoma's most influential seedbed of fandom through 2005. ..... This blog exists to document fandom in central Oklahoma. The area was home to PsurrealCon/PseudoCon, ThunderCon, and Soonercon (née SoonerCon) -- all begun or supported by members of STAR OKC.

One Short Decade Ago ... At SoonerCon 22
SoonerCon 22 was June 28-30, 2013, at the Reed Center in Midwest City. Among its many graces was the FIRST Class of the Speculative Fiction Hall of Fame. The working name for this award, "the Nucleon," was my suggestion, and the name was soon rerouted to become the Art Show favorites' awards.
This fine coverage-in-advance is from the June 25, 2013 Oklahoman. The semi-honorable (kidding) John Ferguson is a longtime OKC landmark and friend of the con. Likewise CJ, who was a friend EVEN BEFORE SoonerCon. She was here for us at BabelCon '81! But some pix including her, from 1986 and SoonerCon 1, may be found here.
