OAF-Con 2019, for GA, an interesting alternative to NYCC... 0

[Cat-Man_America]

One week from today David battles Goliath again, ...but I'm not casting any stones.  

(Oct. 5-6, dealer set-up the evening of the 4th).  Of the two, I expect the OAFcon be the better show for GA.

For some reason I thought it was later.  So the same weekend as OU-Texas.  @MrBedrock straight-up for a diet coke - Sooners roll.

Let's see, a friendly vintage OAF providing support for old school collectors in a sea of sharks.  Yeah, guess that kinda works too.

Sooners will be @Kansas next weekend. The Red River Shoot-out is the following weekend. Thank god, I didn't want to deal with a home game during OAF or have to drive near Dallas if it was the Texas game.

Let's keep the    about the coming OAF-con on page one for awhile...

Depends on how you define "golden age comic convention". At 55, I was one of the youngest in attendance at OAF.

heh, Richard is about to get bumped up a notch as I will be youngest person I know going to OAF (and I"m not THAT much younger but I can say that I'm in my 40's and not from the 40's like the median attendee)

Ohhh, that’s cold.  ...Hey, I resemble that remark (a joke that may date back to The Three Stooges)!

I am planning to bring pulps and old paper collectibles this time. If anyone would like me to bring any particular comics or something else specific please let me know.

You know my tastes.  Tight budget notwithstanding, any pulps/comics you bring I'll gladly thumb through.

Well damn, now I'm especially sad I'm missing it this year.

Hope it's an enjoyable OAF con. I'd love to attend one year!

He needs to commit pretty soon.  

MYNAMEISLEGION seemed to think the OAFcon was headed towards being run by a skeleton crew.

I wonder if they do more volunteers.  I could do it a bit each day.  I'll email Bart.
