SoonerCon 20 Pocket Program and Flyer

SoonerCon 20 was held June 3-5, 2011, one of four SoonerCons held at the OKC downtown Sheraton.  Hence the mentions 's "Dead Mall" as the location for some activities!

Below is the one-sided bookmark flyer for that year's SoonerCon.

It were a lot o' fun.  Were YOU there?

  

Press Coverage of SoonerCon 20

 SoonerCon 20: Heroes and Villains was held June 3-4-5, 2011, at the downtown Sheraton.  Our writer GOH was Tim Powers; our artist GOH was Darrell K Sweet.  And as you can read from the recap, we raised over a thousand bucks for Infant Crisis Services.

SoonerCon 20 Flyer -- 2011

As the promo line said, "Choose your side …"  Of course, I don't think it's that trivial.  But on the other hand, "Heroes & Villains" is awfully hard to decipher.

Thanks for stopping by!
 

Remembering STAR Paul Cherry

Paul Cherry, a longtime member of the OKC fan community; a graduate of OKC's Capitol Hill High School; an officer of STAR OKC; Chair of Conestoga (for its sole occurrence; died at the end of August, 2011.

I was his Vice-Prez in STAR for a couple of years and knew him in STAR long before that.  But even fandom doesn't let you in on everything about somebody.  At his funeral I learned some new (nice) things about Paul, like that he was his church's webmaster.

Here is a link to another Paul tribute post:   http://weblog.shaum.com/index.php/2011/08/30/paul-cherry/

The images are by fellow STAR Kevin Hopkins, who has a link on the side.  The smaller line-drawings are all reductions of various drawings Paul made for STAR's Galactic Gazette.

Some time before December, posts of STAR OKC history WILL resume.  Promise!
