MonSFFA e-Meeting This Saturday!

MonSFFA’s next virtual meeting will take place this Saturday, June 12, beginning at 1:00PM, and you are invited to check it out!

As always, we’ll be posting on the club’s Web site throughout the afternoon a variety of interesting and entertaining presentations. In tandem, we’ll also host a Zoom get-together throughout the course of the afternoon so that folk may chat and discuss with, or ask questions of our presenters directly on the agenda topics!

Our June 2021 meeting will offer as principal programming first an overview of the career of foremost “visual futurist” Syd Mead, and an appreciation of his artwork!

Mead is regarded as one of the most influential industrial designers and concept artists of the modern age. He has been described as “the artist who illustrates the future,” and for some 60 years beginning in the late 1950s, his outstanding design work, architectural drawings, and striking concept illustrations for the automotive, consumer electronics, and steel industries, as well as for some of Hollywood’s most prominent science fiction films, have been termed “reality ahead of schedule.” Mead’s sleek, ultramodern styling has defined a technological future that continues to influence contemporary designers and filmmakers.

We’ll also have some fun with an exploration of the bars, taverns, lounges, and saloons of SF/F, from The Prancing Pony in Bree to Callahan’s Place to Star Trek’s Ten Forward to that seedy cantina on Tatooine!

These establishments are convivial places for an adventurer, space-farer, swordsman, or warrior to sip a whiskey and soda, quaff some ale, enjoy warm blood wine, or an iced raktajino! So raise a glass of your favourite and come hear tales of hard science fiction, or of the mysteries of magic swords; tales that might begin with “A science fiction writer walks into a bar…”

All of that, and more…
