I just thought it would be nice for others to see her talent.

Not that I mind, the outfit came out well...but just curious.

Tony Finan

I'll be there.

Since I work a few blocks from the one book store they are allowing
prepurchased books from at the event, anyone want me to pick up a
book for them?  Let me know before 1pm monday.  Otherwise, it looks
like they are selling books at the event.  It also says no
memorabilia.

Yea, I think we all feel that way. Sad, but strangly smug.

Less than 24 hours old, and already 22 members.

And I know waaaaaayyyyyy too many of you guys! (grin)

Keep refering people here... the more the merrier!

Not sure if I can get there yet or not... probably won't know until
Monday afternoon.  If I can make it, tho, I'll see you there.

I'm not sure what the phone number is for. It was just listed on the bottom
on the ad which was found in the current City Paper.

Hi everyone -

I have a quick request.  Since we don't know everyone yet and/or not
sure who is who, can you please add your name to the end of your
emails.  It will make it easier to respond or ask a question.

Thanks.

Suzanne

Greetings,

I've uploaded a few Halloween photos to the group.

later,
Doug

I suspect that Tony's just collating the emails he gets from various
groups, then cutting & pasting them here. Certainly, it's something
that we can ask of original posters.

Here's what's in the Links section for this group:

The theater features in the the original "THE BLOB." Shows a variety
of classic and sometimes just plain cool movies. Movie Info Line:
610-917-0223
http://www.thecolonialtheater.com

Me, I can't wait till the calendar has more of this info. A one-stop
shopping experience for all the geeky goodness in Philly.

Not a problem on my end.

I've just added both events to the group calendar. I suggest that
everyone should add their events when they post them. Let's work on
making this the most complete calendar of geek events in Philadelphia!

That being said, I had a question: Is the phone number valid for both
events, or just Alan Lee?

And, finally, a question for the group, such as it is, so far:

What kind of reminders do we want for calendar events, if any? We can
have up to two, but we don't need any. And, if we're having them, what
kind of time frame? Offhand, I would suggest a week before and a day
before, as intermediate and immediate reminders. But that might end up
with too much spammage.

Maybe make a distinction between one off and regular events? What say you?

   Tim and I had been talking about doing this for a while. I got a push when
some friends were complaining that they didn't know about Nerdcon. So I
finally got off my butt and did it.

Nice idea.  Wish I'd thought of it!

Oh, moderator...  shall I spread word about this, or is this
invitation only?  Let me know... I gots me contacts!

Tony,

You need to change the time zone for the group! Right now, it's "Time Zone:
Britain,
Ireland, Portugal, Western Africa"

That's gonna screw up our scheduling! :-)

BTW, I suggest we try to use the calendar to list events, so that people can
have an easy-
to-use snapshot of upcoming thingies.

NOVEMBER 19th 2004

Doors at 9:30 / Show at 10:00pm  $9
Jim Van Bebber's

CHARLIE'S FAMILY (aka Manson Family)

and

Race with the Devil
(70`s Satanic Action Film)

Fifteen years in the making, THE MANSON FAMILY, formerly known as
CHARLIE¹S FAMILY in film circles, is the second feature from Dayton
filmmaker Jim Van Bebber. Van Bebber found a cult following in the
late 80¹s with his feature DEADBEAT AT DAWN as well as for his short
films and music videos for such bands as Skinny Puppy.

A self-financed labor of love, the film's scope expanded over the
years to become a multi-layered final word on the tragic events of
August 9th & 10th 1969 as well as the impact those events continue to
have on popular culture. The film combines detailed recreations of
the Family members' lives, chronicling of the events on the Spahn
Ranch that led to the Tate-LaBianca killings and contemporary
jailhouse interviews with The Family as well as a chilling look at a
group of Manson-obsessed, nihilistic punk teenagers. Connecting these
narrative strands is a tabloid television journalist producing a
special focusing on The Family. Stylistically, The Manson Family
fuses classic grindhouse horror with an experimentalism rooted in the
underground referencing the transcendent death trip of the Cinema of
Transgression to Kenneth Anger's hallucinogenic occultism.
