More SoonerCon 8 in '92

 Soonercon 8 was November 20-22, 1992.

L Sprague and Catherine de Camp were our writer guests.  I snagged his badge when he was done with it!

Paul Cherry helped out here and there.

Above is the Pocket Program.  We had just over 1000 bodies in attendance.

See you next time, fellow fan survivors!

  

November 1983 GALACTIC GAZETTE

In 1983, Paul "Blue Devil" had returned to STAR for awhile.  He was also gracious enough to dive into the crafting of STAR's newsletter, The Galactic Gazette, which had languished earlier that year because the publications guy (that's me) couldn't get anybody to contribute; thus, a one-page "STAR OKC NEWS."

Here's the offering for November, with art and fiction from Paul and other stuff:

The last page, seen directly above, has a nice bit of line art for a club logo, yes?  See you next time!

  

If It's April, It Must Be PseudoCon

... At least in 1987!

For a little context, PseudoCon was put on by NOSFA, the Norman, Oklahoma Science Fiction Association.  There was another PseudoCon, in 1988, before the name was changed.  Several members of STAR OKC or helpers at SoonerCon were also Normanites, so all of us folks overlapped in a fun way.

PseudoCon was held April 18, 1987, and here is the eight-page Program Book:

(No, I don't have a brother named Mike.  They got my name wrong.)

At least for my TREK panel with Larry, they got my name right!

I can testify that my part at PseudoCon, at least, was a blast.  I got into my Vulcanian garb and pretended to be Spock, while our future ThunderChief Larry played the irascible McCoy.  And we argued -- I mean, debated.  (Another wonderful memory was created before that panel, when Larry was kind enough to stand next to me at the Men's Room sink and direct a hair dryer to dry the glue holding my homemade Vulcan latex ears on!)

See you next time, fellow Oklahoma fans!
