Vintage fandom
Attention, Oklahoma readers: OAFCON 2008 is coming up next month in OKC. From the site:
"Please remember this is not a modern day comic book show. No artist alley, no anime, no new comics. Mostly the dealers bring old comics, pulps, art, books, and etc dateing from 1900-1980. Facsimiles and modern day reprints of older material are welcome and will be available."
I must confess that I only vaguely remember ever hearing about the Oklahoma Alliance of Fans, the hosts of the show (hence OAFcon). I think they might have hosted a small con I went to in 1981, where I picked up a lovely pulp anthology of Robert Sheckley's stories (Store of Infinity, I think) and a full set of the Wonder Bread Star Wars cards. But if Bart is involved, it's bound to be a class act.

Back to normal
If you visited yesterday, you did not see this blog. That's because I forgot to renew my domain, and apparently when that happens my registrar drops the domain from their DNS. At least it didn't get snapped up by the hordes who want "vintagereader.com" for their very own!
But everything seems to be back to normal now and I've got the domain for a while yet. Let it serve as a lesson to me to pay attention to all those emails from the registrar telling me to renew my domain NOW. (In my defense, I'm pretty sure those started going to the spam folder a few days ago, with no intervention from me, purely because of their frequency.)
