Do you always have to catch the latest scare flick alone because your friends think you are insane to watch this stuff? Do you get strange looks when you start to rave about '2001' or 'House of 1000 corpses'? Are you counting the days until 'The Hobbit' will be finally released? This is your group :) (... and if your friends don't think you're insane please bring them along ... ) We are a bunch of friendly people with an offbeat taste in films, with emphasis on Horror, SciFi and Fantasy.

Interested in science fiction / fantasy / video games / vintage MTG / AD&D / having a few drinks / making some friends, and enjoying fellowship of some pure-blooded geeks every couple weeks? How is this different than other local groups? A lot of groups strongly emphasize just games, for instance. There are also groups similar to this in far-away lands, like San Francisco.

I've recently developed a workshop called The Inner Meaning of Lord of the Rings. I'm adapting it as a youth workshop caller Life Lessons from Lord of the Rings.

Ever get irritated when someone talks during the movie? Then this is NOT the group for you. Although Mystery Science Theater has not been on cable tv for years, it retains a cult following. The MST3K team watches the same bad movie as us, but with the sound turned down a bit, they inject their own commentary on top of the movie. If you’re unfamiliar with MST3K, this will give you a taste: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53i_GAQn40g&feature=related Mystery Science Theater is back, live! The MST3K …

Playing Indie RPGs where joint story telling and role playing is the key, instead of GM-run hack-and-slash. Could be a game of Microscope where anything goes (from epic space opera to World War 2 drama to fantastic) and the focus shifts to points of interest, or perhaps a game of Fiasco where the fun is in watching the story unfold in unexpected ways. Imagination and communication is key!
