Turntabling will have a table at the second annual Women of Horror film festival sponsored by the Chicago Horror Society. Saturday May 1, join us at Chicago’s Portage Theater for an evening of scares, giveaways and much more…Turntabling will have the usual eight foot table crammed with glorious vinyl and hard to find soundtracks…don’t miss it!
It was a very interesting weekend at Carpicon XXX–the thirtieth science fiction convention and the only four-day show for sci fi fans in this area. Many thanks to all who stopped by the Turntabling table and picked up hard-to-find vinyl, talked music and other ephemera and made the show a lot of fun to be at in general.
One of the more interesting features of this convention was the concept of party suites–something I haven’t seen at the horror conventions so far. Turntabling may well get involved in organizing a suite at some of these shows to try something new, spin some tunes and throw a monster party to promote the site. Stay tuned, that is something in the works that we’ll give updates on shortly.
It’s great to be back–there are plenty of new titles to be added to the site this week, keep your eyes peeled for those plus the usual run of bad album covers and much more.

Things have been a bit quiet here as Turntabling prepares for its first appearance at Capricon, the Chicago area’s only four-day science fiction conference. It’s an experiment for Turntabling–there’s no telling how many vinyl junkies or genre fans (outside sci-fi) will be there, but it’s a lot of fun running the Turntabling table at shows so it’s an experiment worth doing.
Come visit the Turntabling table at Capricon this weekend, February 11-14 located at the Westin Chicago North Shore:
