Carnival of Souls on YouTube

For those of you who missed Satruday's (March) KaCSFFS meeting, this month's program — the full length film "Carnival of Souls" (196s) — is available on YouTube, at the link below.

Sadly, however, you can't enjoy seeing it in 3D as we did at the meeting.


Comment from David Sooby (of the Laser Rangers film buff group):

I was surprised when Ruth Lichtwardt said this "cult" movie was not filmed in 3D.  Apparently the 3D version was computer generated.  However, the company which did the conversion (Eyepop-3D) did such a good job of it that I thought it had been filmed in 3D using stereo cameras!

The July KaCSFFS meeting will be held on July 20, at 6:30 PM.

Anyone with an interest in the future of ConQuesT or KaCSFFS should attend this meeting!  We will have a Zoom option also.

Several meetings ago there was a spontaneous discussion about building up membership, and for this meeting we're going to focus on brainstorming these kinds of ideas, and folks can think about what role they'd like to play in the future of the group.

Also, we have some KaCSFFS and ConQuesT merchandise to give away.  Donations are welcome, but not required, in exchange for any of said merch that you'd like to take away!

KaCSFFS Summer Picnic!

The KaCSFFS picnic will be held on June 15, at 6:30 PM, at our usual meeting location, please email me at bob.j.clark (at) gmail.com if you need the address.

KaCSFFS will be cooking hamburgers and hotdogs.  We need someone to donate 24 hotdog buns (let us know if you plan to donate the buns, so we don't end up with too many!).  I'll volunteer to bring hamburger buns.  

Everyone else, please bring a side dish, if you're able.  (There'll be plenty of food, so don't miss out if you aren't able to bring one.)  If you're vegetarian or vegan, you may want to bring a main course for yourself, or even to share.  We should be able to put something on the grill for you if needed, although it'll be cooked in close proximity to the meat!

There will be indoor space for those who may find the heat to be too much, or in case of rain.  Also, we won't be supplying beverages, so please bring something for yourself and/or to share.  Please bring a chair if you can, we will have a few extras but not enough for everyone.

Please spread the word, we're hoping that lots of folks who would normally see each other at ConQuesT will be able to get together at the picnic this year!
