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!
