Icebreaker Tonight!

Hey everyone! I hope you got the chance to meet me or some of the other execs at Clubs Days this week! If not, you're still invited to the official kickoff of the SFS year, The Icebreaker!

This is the first chance for members and prospective members to get to know the rest of the club! Meet the execs! Meet the new members! Catch up with old friends. There will be games and "get-to-know-you" activities, and a vote on which movie to watch tonight: Shrek or Underworld! The movies offer laughs and/or thrills, and romance is guaranteed!

It all goes down in Buchanan B213 tonight (Friday, September 25) at 6pm! All are welcome! Be there! Don't miss it! The event of the season!

Non-SFS Events in Town: October 3 Swap Meet

Hey guys,

I promised on this blog that I would keep you guys up to date on some cool stuff happening around town. Well, Saturday October 3 the Scottish Cultural Centre is hosting the Vancouver Pop Culture Collectibles Fair and Computer Swap Meet from 11am-4pm. This is a big nerdy swap meet featuring computer parts, comic books, collectible toys and figures, DVDs, CDs, vinyl, video games and more. And since it's in October, there will be a special, though not exclusive, focus on Halloween and horror themed items. Admission is $3 and there is free parking on site.



If anyone is interested, feel free to leave a comment here or on the Facebook page. Maybe we can get a group together.

The Year's First Delectable Double Feature

Hello folks!

VP Hunter here again. On the very off chance that some of you are using this blog as your primary source of club news, be it known that the details of the movie night for this Friday, September 18, 2015 have been released! This week we'll be taking a trip into worlds of stunning fantasy with two movies with titles that start with the letter "S." Spirited Away is arguably the quintessential Studio Ghibli film, about a young girl transported into a strange world of ghosts and otherworldly spirits. Then we come crashing down to earth...uh, in a good way...with Stardust. It's a fun fantasy filled with romance, witches, and pirates, and if you haven't seen it, it comes highly recommended from yours truly. Meet us in Buchanan B213 at 5:30pm for a night of high adventure!

In other news, the SFS Office Hours have been sent to our mailing list and posted on the Facebook page. If you want to hang out with me specifically, you can catch me taking over the reins on Mondays from 2-4pm and Fridays from 2pm until the movie night starts. If you haven't checked out our club room yet, (Room 3206D in the Nest) I highly suggest you do. See our huge library, watch some Godzilla movies on VHS, play some Nintendo, or sit quietly and do some homework. The room is located within a larger common area, where you can hang out with our close friends at the Wargamers and Anime Club. Other geeky clubs, including the Mah Jong Club, UBC eSports, Magicians and Illusionists, and Origami Club also share this area! I'm sure it will become your home away from dorm on campus.

Keep your eyes on this blog and I'll type at you again soon.

New Year! New Events! New People!

Hello friends and prospective friends! It's time for a new season of SFS awesomeness. We've got plenty on tap for this year: movie nights, parties, writing circle, franchise marathons, books, oxford commas, and more! Your new Vice President Hunter is typin' at you right now, in spite of the word "SoCo" being all over this blog. I pledge to update regularly, bringing you news about the club and cool events around town. I'll also be bringing you the Underground movie nights. This year's Underground will bring you some super cool classic and cult movies that you may or may not have heard of! Plus, each Underground movie night will feature one thrilling chapter of the 1945 Columbia serial "The Monster and the Ape!" That's a hot tip and you heard it first on the blog!

Pre-clubs days movie nights are happening now. Think of them as an SFS Sampler before purchasing your membership card at Clubs Days for a very, very, very reasonable $7. It'll be the best $7 you ever spent. You can become an official SFS member starting September 23! The next movie night is Friday, September 18 with the film TBA, and everyone is welcome. Bring some friends! Acquaintances will be provided. - Hunter
