mysterio Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Facebook page Original thread with 2015-2016 info May as well start a new multi-year OAFCON thread, so recycling this thread for 2018. I hope I can actually go in 2018! Edited June 26, 2018 by mysterio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysterio Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 I've been wanting to get to this show for years, and something always prevents it. I'm hoping that 2018 will finally be my year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entalmighty1 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Seriously thinking about flying over from Memphis for this show. I'm assuming the selection of GA books is pretty solid here? From the website pictures it looks promising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe it has been for 50 years although I am unsure if there was one every year. I went to my first in the mid to late 70s. No admission fee this year although the previous $5 admission wasn't a wallet breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBFan Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Attended OAFCON earlier today (Saturday 10/21/17) and was thrilled to once again experience a REAL comic book convention. Bart and the crew outdid themselves this year, with what appears to be double the floor space of the past few events. Many of the top dealers from Oklahoma are there, along with a variety of names from across the country. All comic book eras are well represented. You'll also find original art, Big Little Books, pulps, premiums and more. The selection is mind boggling, and the room is full of some of America's top longtime collectors, happily discussing their passion. Admission this year is FREE, in celebration of the Oklahoma Alliance of Fandom's 50th anniversary. If you are tired of the "celebrity & costume" events with hardly any comics and are anywhere within driving distance of Norman OK, get to OAFCON Sunday (10/22) from 10 am to 6 pm. http://oafcon2017.blogspot.com/ mysterio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird Paper Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Finally got back to OAF this year, and I can say without fear of exaggeration that this was the most fun comic show I've been to in the past thirty years. Cool, obscure, eclectic stuff -- not this cookie-cutter cra-p that infects most corporate comic shows. Not just old school, OAF is full of the teachers that taught "old school." I told Bart I thought OAF was the sincere pumpkin patch of comic-book shows. I'll be back next year. MBFan, mysterio and TheGeneral 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entalmighty1 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Sincerely hoping this show happens again this year. If it does, I'm going to do my best to be there. I had an absolute blast last year, walked away with some amazing books, and met some really cool comic folks. mysterio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitterOldMan Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 if the dates are Oct 6-7, 2018, then the event runs on the same days as 2018 NYCC. I attended OAFCON 2017 and had a blast, except for the tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entalmighty1 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 How set in stone are these dates? Hoping to buy my plane ticket soon. Rates are dirt cheap at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggykoopa Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) I don't have FB, can anybody provide dates for this? I'm local to Oklahoma and would like to attend. Sorry, just not noticed the dates on this actual thread listing. If I recall, Wizard World is coming October 2018 also, although I believe that's at the end of the month. 2 shows in one month will be awesome! My poor wallet!
