SNAFFU, the oldest Science Fiction club in Las Vegas, is meeting on Sun. Aug. 31 at the Clark County Library (Flamingo Ave. at Maryland Parkway). 2-4pm, Large Conference Room (downstairs from the theaters). The Southern Nevada Area Fantasy and Fiction League is open to all and has no dues. We discuss general science, fan, and SF news and do not have a business meeting.
The Aug. 31st meeting topic will be "Mythologies, Mythical Creatures, and Mythos." A surprise short video will be shown. We will also be giving away some DVDs. From H.P. Lovecraft's Chululu, to the dragons of Anne McCaffrey's series, to many more novels and stories, SF authors have developed their own unique mythologies for interesting mythological or original creatures such as mermaids, dragons, elves, and more. (Note we will not discuss werewolves or vampires since there is enough to say about them for another meeting entirely).
The 2008 Hugo winners will also be announced.
SNAFFU will meet Sept. 28 and Oct. 26 at the 2-4pm at the Clark County Library.
SNAFFU has a Yahoo Group you can join at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SNAFFU/
