\"\"<\/a>MonSFFA\u2019s next meeting<\/strong> is scheduled to take place this Saturday, March 14<\/strong>, from 1:00PM to 5:00PM! Note that we are returning to our downtown function space at the Nouvel Hotel beginning with this March meeting! As usual, out-of-town club members may take part online via ZOOM; you may gather online a half-hour early, at 12:30PM, just to give you an opportunity to settle in before the meeting officially begins at 1:00PM.<\/p>\n

March Meeting Theme:<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

As a tie-in to our lead presentation, we\u2019re asking folk to bring in, for our display table, any Alien<\/em> merchandise they may possess\u2014books, posters, action figures, scale models, games, etc.<\/p>\n

On the Agenda:\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n
They Mostly Come at Night\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

Mostly. We explore the popular Alien<\/em> franchise, launched in 1979 with Ridley Scott\u2019s seminal sci-fi\/horror film. In space, no one can hear humanity\u2019s collective scream when faced with one of the genre\u2019s most terrifying interstellar monsters!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Architectural Exemplars and Curiosities on the SF Screen<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

We showcase a few noteworthy buildings and avant-garde architectural marvels featured as representations of the future on the SF screen!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Telepathy<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

A staple of paranormal belief, telepathy is examined from the perspective of true believers. Meanwhile, across many stories over many years, SF\/F has adopted this sixth sense as a story device, exploring the power of clairvoyance, and considering the ramifications of telepaths existing within a non-telepathic society.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible, in person or online, at our March 2026 meeting! Tell a friend; invite them to join us! See you all this Saturday, March 14, 1:00PM-5:00PM!\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

Please Note: While we strive to keep on schedule, we do, sometimes, fall behind a little, or find ourselves having to reshuffle the order of items on the agenda for one reason or another, or reschedule planned presentations\/discussions. Therefore, please understand that all programming is subject to change!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
