Stay tuned, fellow fans!

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.

Coming Soon: SoonerCon 22!
... Or so we were informed in these two clippings from the June 28, 2013 Oklahoman.
Don't worry time travelers, you can STILL show up and buy tickets at the door!
This was just a tease on the Wednesday paper to keep your eyes peeled for Friday's edition. Don;t worry, you'll get to see THAT coverage too, some ole time!

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.
Thanks for visiting more SoonerCon and OKC-fandom history. It's where we came from!
