50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Here's that better pic Rich sent me. I had a great time as always! And Gator, that sounds like a fun road trip. Rich, Amazing early books and this material is simply never seen; particularly in the condition you have! Thanks for sharing. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Rolled into Cross Plains last night where I found a few of my other early bird friends. It didn't talk long for the pulps and Irish whiskey to come out. Wow, you pulp guys don't fool around. Could teach the comic guys a lesson.

Pat Calhoun Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hi Richard- I'm curious about all the wood... Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Kid Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Pat, We fell in love with the work of David Walsh, a bowl maker in Dover, PA, who does exceptional work. We live in a cypress home in the woods so it just seemed like a natural extension to collect wooden art. We have probably bought over 100 pieces of his work over the last decade and have become good friends, each visiting the other. Dave used to sell in the Smithsonian Gallery but decided to move to eBay, avoids the big fees, and makes his work more available. Check him out on eBay searching for "Walsh Wood." If you want a professionally turned piece of art at a reasonable price (compared to big name galleries) I don't think you can do any better than David Walsh. No carvings, just turnings.

Theagenes Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Did a panel yesterday on REH comics with Tim Truman, Mark Finn, and Al Harron. I'm having a blast this weekend hanging out with Lansdale and Truman. These guys are cool as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat-Man_America Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Thanks guys! I had an awesome time. Truman and Lansdale were really cool guys and a lot of fun. [font:Times New Roman]Joe Lansdale is one of the coolest guys on the planet. Over a decade ago, my wife was on a "How to Get Published" panel with Joe and several other authors at a convention which now eludes my memory. At the time she'd published about ten novels, all stand-alone paperbacks of modest success. In the ensuing panel discussion Joe asked her what she was currently working on. Rox (Rachel) mentioned that she'd been toying with an idea for a fantasy series involving Jinn (genies) who can control the weather, but didn't know if the idea would sell. Joe looked at her incredulously and said (paraphrased): "That's a great idea, I wish I'd thought of that." She went on to sell that series to Penguin, and the break-out success of the Weather Warden novels turned out to be Rachel Caine's first hit series. Joe is one of the best; I'm glad you had a chance to meet him.[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's cool is that I not only got to meet him, but hang out all weekend. That's the great thing about Howard Days -- much more intimate than a regular con. I'm going to get to meet him again later this year at Worldcon as we'll be on a Weird Westerns panel together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
