Thirsty Thirsty SFSers

Our latest movie night featured two animated films about people looking for planets (or planet-making ships, whatev...) Titan A.E. and Treasure Planet. I think that this face will be haunting many of our dreams for the next few nights. But it will be formed out of swirling blue nebula clouds :\ ....

The only thing missing from the evening's entertainment was soda, and of course, we all missed the delicious Cheetah energy drink that has become a traditional beverage at movie nights. We will be resupplied soon, I promise. 

3 Things That Already Happened

If you have been receiving emails from Peter lately, you will be aware of three events that were not hyped on the blog in advance. My apologies. It all happened so fast!

1. SFS Booksale - for three days we braved the cold and valiantly tried to give away a portion of our vast library, exchanging classic (and incredibly bizarre) books for people's pocket change, pocket lint, cookie crumbs, kind words, and whatever else they might have to offer. Boba Fett was there to warm up the crowds, and we had a special one-day visit from Yves the rogue Sand Trooper, posing in pictures to raise money for the Alternate Shelter Society. Amazing costumes guys! I hope to post pictures here soon.

2. Movie night - this one kind of popped up unexpectedly, but featured two quality films: Dark City and Strange Days. Altered reality and dead prostitutes for everyone!

3. Weekend Lord of the Rings Marathon - this one could have gone better, but the FilmSoc generously lent us their club room and awesome TV so that we could watch the whole trilogy (extended version) in the course of one Saturday afternoon. We apologize for accidentally setting off their security alarm ;)

Stay tuned for next week's movie night announcement, which will appear before Friday, I promise.
