If you were baffled by the dinosaur quiz, you are not alone! The answers appear in this month’s Impulse now available on line. Thanks, Keith Braithwaite! Please check if your membership is up to date–quite a few are due this month.
MEETING THEME: Bring in a favourite genre-themed board or card game to share with your fellow MonSFFen!
PROGRAMME
CITIES OF DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES: From Metropolis, The Emerald City, Kandor, and Trantor, to Diaspor, Stratos, Coruscant, and King’s Landing, we explore the cities of SF/F depicted in our favourite genre stories of page and screen. How prophetic were past prognosticators in foreseeing urban life in a future that has become our present? And what will the cities of our future look like?
DO WE VIEW THE GOLDEN AGE THROUGH ROSE-TINTED GLASSES?: Open discussion on the topic of the memorable sci-fi books, comics, and screen adventures of our youth. Were they really that good? Is our nostalgic fondness for them justified? Do they still hold up, or now seem quaint and pedestrian?
MID-MEETING BREAK: Fund-raising raffle; brief discussion of club-related business. We have free movie passes reserved for our members, last chance to claim a place.
THE GAME IS AFOOT!: Talk and demonstrations of your favourite SF/F-themed board and card games.
And while the games play on, Keith and François will be filming more of our stop motion project.
Supper will probably be at the 3 Brasseurs on Ste-Catherine, unless the weather is so nice we choose to mosey on down to La Cage at the Bell Centre. Or maybe to the Belle et la Boeuf…. we’ll take a vote!
