There is a huge geek community in the lower mainland, and many of us are pretty crafty. So, I thought it might be fun to have a group where we could get together to make and compare our fannish fiber creations, share patterns, tricks and tips. We're totally non-denominational - we love all sci-fi, from Star Wars to Star Trek to Stargate. Hell! We love anything with the word "star" in it, not to mention the words "Joss Whedon". Anything involving time travel is generally considered to ROCK. N …

As part of a project to create a village of friends, this one focuses on families and family activities in Coquitlam and Port Moody (and beyond). This group is for parents (moms and DADS) with kids of all ages (0-15 mostly but parents with older children are welcome to join as well) and expecting parents.

William Alan Shatner is 79 years old as of March 22, 2010, and has had a long wonderful career as an actor. But how many of his movies can you name outside of Star Trek and the cameo appearances?

This group will bring together fans of the Shatner and we will watch his old forgotten movies (some of which are only in black and white) from back in the days before Star Trek, when he was not the square-jawed Captain of th …

What is Steampunk? Steampunk simply embodies a time and a place. The time... the late 19th century, the place... a steam powered world, where air travel by fantastical airships and submarines is as common as traveling by car, train, or boat It's a place where national boundaries and interests are vastly different than our own version of history, where the elegant and refined are as likely to get pulled into a grand adventure, as the workers, ruffians, and lower classes. The idea of space travel …
