Movie Night: Escape From Everywhere!

That's right folks. Kurt Russell (as Snake Plissken) escapes from two cities in one night!

It's about to blow the future apart... You gotta problem with that?

Check out the trailers for Escape from New York and Escape From L.A. I can't do these movies justice with mere words.

Same bat time: this Friday at 5:30

Same bat place: the SFS club office, then somewhere on the second floor of Buchanan D.

Writing Circle

Our Social Coordinator Peter sent this out a while ago, but it bears repeating here, especially if people feel like brainstorming together in the comments section.

Hello SFSers!

In ages past, there was a (admittedly rather short-lived) SFS writing circle. I rather like the idea, so this email is to see if there's any interest in such a thing.

The principle is that a bunch of people get together, read/critique, and generally work on writing. Given that this is, after all, the Science Fiction Society, I will not bother giving you guesses as to what the emphasis would be on.

Either way, get back to me if you're interested! If it seems like there's a critical mass of folks, we'll get some meetings together and get with the writing.

--Peter

Redesign

No cause for alarm, the content hasn't changed. Just thought I'd try out the bookshelf theme, for obvious reasons if you've seen our club room :)

Movie Night Two: Space Cowboys

This Friday (Oct. 8) we'll be watching two movies based on awesome TV series: Cowboy Bebop and Serenity. If you haven't watched one or both series, I promise the movies won't spoil them!

Come on down to the club room at 5:30 to meet people before the show, or come to the second floor of Buchanan D a little later, where we will find an empty room to screen the movies in.

I've made a helpful map for those who still need to find the club room. The blue star is roughly our location and the little yellow arrows are pointing to doors you can use to get in there. Once you have found the secret club room hallway, just look for the door with "SFS" on it.

Welcome Back!

Hi SFSers, I'm Adriana.

As your new VP, I am proud to announce this week's Friday night double feature. We'll be watching Repo: The Genetic Opera, and Repo Men, which is the same concept but with Jude Law.

Peter, our new Social Coordinator, will send out details via email, but expect a walk to Buchanan D at around 5:30 in the evening, and free pizza.

In other news, we're hitting the SUB for Clubs Days this week. From Wed. Sept. 22 to Friday Sept. 24, look for a guy in a beaver costume. That's our mascot!

Membership this year is $6, so if you haven't renewed it yet, come on down. Bring your friends! We'll be playing Duck Hunt and chugging Cheetah High Octane Beverage (with Ginseng).

This is your Vice President Adriana Byrne, signing off.

MOVIE NIGHT THE SECOND

WELCOME TO THE GRASS-ROOTS EDITION OF SFS: THE MOVIE NIGHT. The theme this week is Sci-Fi classics that have been recently remade. (Lame theme I know... so sue me the movies rock).

Next movie night is Friday October 2nd, 2009.

THE MOVIES:

Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)

and

War of the Worlds (1953)

********IMPORTANT NOTICE*********

As of Monday, September 26th there will be a suggestion box in the SFS for future movie nights just keep in mind that movie combinations must be shorter than 4 hours, preferably aim for 3 as bookings only last 5. ALSO movie combinations must have a theme (we're not too picky... as long as you can explain it to us in WHATEVER FASHION MAKES "SENSE" to... at least one of us?... we'll take the themes as they come...)

Movie Combo Examples:
LONG MOVIE + TV SHOW EP
SHORT MOVIE (90 min) X 2

As a rule we will alternate Sci-Fi and Fantasy, so keep in mind when giving suggestions.
