Yes I did. Small but nicely run convention. I'll probably go
again next year.
MR. DYNAMITE was nothing to write home about. I'm not sorry I
saw it, but I wouldn't have been sorry to have missed
it.
The highlight was meeting Hugh Cave, one of the last of the
old-time pulpsters. It was something to meet a guy who was
contirbuting to magazines like DIME DETECTIVE and DETECTIVE
FICTION WEEKLY at around the same time that Hammett and
Chandler were. He signed a collection of his '30s PI stories,
BOTTLED IN BLONDE, for me, as well as a story of his that was
included in an anthology of RCMP stories from the pulps
called SCARLET RIDERS. I'm sorry I didn't get to spend more
time with him, but at least I got the autographs.
