 Movie Night at BSFS:

On November 18, 2017 from 7:00pm. Shorts followed by Valerian and the
City of 1000 Planets in HQ streamed onto our 10 ft screen. Mundane
press hated it so it went out of the theaters fast, but SF Movie
reviewers liked it. The visuals are stunning with interesting
juxtaposition of ideas leading to a fun ride. See Locus review at
https://locusmag.com/2017/07/this-is-going-to-be-a-lot-of-fun-a-review-of-valerian-and-the-city-of-a-thousand-planets/

Reminder About BSFS Online Retail Links:

Once a year I try to remind you all that if you go to the www.bsfs.org
website and click on the links on the mid left side of the page before
going to Amazon or Charity Mall, then BSFS gets a small amount from
your purchase donated back to us and it costs you nothing extra.
Everyone knows about Amazon, but we also have a link to Charity Mall
which has hundreds of links to online sales sites. I [Dale Arnold] use
this method every single time I buy online, so this is a case of my
asking you do do the same as I do...  Good luck with your holiday
shopping when doing so in the real world and be safe out there as the
dramatic increase in people driving makes the traffic go a little
wacko this time of year. I don't have any SF Friends to spare.
