For $5/ticket or $4/ticket when you buy 3 tickets at the LIVE'N'LOUD booth at All-Con, you can have a chance to own 1 of a select few copies that Mark Schultz autographed to help LIVE'N'LOUD raise money for production costs. All proceeds will go to help cover the costs of production/post-production for the documentary about Robert E. Howard.
For Immediate Release - January 23, 2005
Mr. Herman not only collects Howard material, pulps and rare books, but he edits Howard material that has been published in 6 books to date for Wildside Press. He is currently working on a bibliography of Howard material for Wildside Press.
Mr. Linblad is a living encyclopedia of information when it comes to science fiction and fantasy authors. In addition to his vast knowledge of authors and their stories, he attends conventions and sells a variety of books - some of them being rare or hard to find. He occasionally has a few autographed selections by some of the masters of the sci-fi/fantasy genre.
On the second and third days of All-Con, Mr. Nahté will be presenting a panel on Robert E. Howard and showing a rough demo (approximately 23 minutes in length) of his 2-part documentary on the author’s short, but prolific life. The focal point of the demo is geared more to a brief bio of who Howard was, featuring interviews with such people as Gary Gianni (artist), Joe R. Lansdale (author) Rusty Burke (Howard scholar) and others who knew Howard before his suicide in 1936.
Mr. Nahté will be joined once again by Mr. Herman, who will have a Power Point presentation discussing some of the more interesting and hard-to-find publications featuring Howard’s work and giving a quick historical look at how the author’s work has been kept alive nearly 70 years after his death.
Joining them will be Mrs. Barbara Baum with Robert E. Howard Properties. Mrs. Baum is a former school teacher and now works non-stop, along with her husband, Jack, on handling most things dealing with Robert E. Howard, including what is currently in the works. For fans wanting to know the most up-to-date details of the various related projects and the future of REH, Mrs. Baum is the lady in the know.
There will be plenty of informational flyers on hand for all panels as well as at the LIVE’N’LOUD booth. The panels are free with paid admission to All-Con.
