Super September
The September meeting theme of
superheroes is a tip o' the hat to our guest speaker,
Jaymes Logan.
A notable local expert on comics and Star Trek, Logan will speak about comics, and--if you wish--also his new book, geek video, Trek, and related topics. Come pre-loaded with questions!
"Captain Logan" is one of the two masterminds (along with the indispensable Vince) behind the
Geekvolution website, your source for
a new video every
day, forums, blogs, items for sale, a master list of Superhero movies, and much more.
 |
Logan's book will be available
for sale on Saturday night. |
Logan's new book is
The Girl with Seven Names, recently published by Argosy Press. There will be copies for sale at the meeting (as well as
Geekvolution T-shirts). Bring cash or checks! A book description from the Geekvolution site tells us:
“Dr. Franklin Bryce is a therapist with an unusual
specialty: helping people deal with the unfathomable realities of the
Multiverse. Helena Kathryn is a woman with unusual problems: multiple
personalities, incredible strength, and severe amnesia.
"When a bat-winged,
dimension-hopping thief steals Franklin's greatest gift - his telepathy - his
life starts to unravel. Returning to the humdrum cases of normal psychotherapy
holds no thrill... until Helena comes to him for help discovering her true
identity.
"Unable to resist the allure of a tantalizing new case, Franklin jumps
back into the many worlds of the Multiverse with Helena in tow. Standing in
their way are killer robots, insane hypnotherapists, and a slew of alien
adversaries. Of course, all of these are nothing compared to the greatest
threat of all: Helena herself!”
If you can't attend the meeting, but still want the book, it is available from
Geekvolution (please make them your first choice, since this is buying from the author himself), or from KaCSFFS friend (and home of SF&F Literati)
Barnes & Noble. It also is available from
Amazon.

We bet you can do better than "Human Torch"
Marshmallows, when it comes to bringing Super Food! |
Food Theme
As usual, we are asking you to bring creative food offerings--this time on a "Superheroes" Theme! Ask yourself, "What would a superhero eat?" Other than "Whatever s/he wants to," might it be "Caped Cupcakes"? Perhaps "Spidey Spaghetti," or "Wonder Woman Bread"?
Scour the web, wrack your brain, and channel you inner Super Chef, to nourish BOTH our bodies and our imaginations with Super Foods!
There WILL be voting--and certificates for the best Super Foods! (Consider the gauntlet to have been thrown).
Late Note! We backed a WINNER!!
Congratulations to
2012 ConQuesT Artist Guest of Honor Ursula Vernon for her
HUGO AWARD!!! She won the category "Best Graphic Story" for
Digger.
PHOTO CREDITS: We are indebted to Argosy Press for the photo of Jaymes Logan. Amazon provided the cover art for The Girl with 7 Names. And we really hope that Marvel agrees our satirical use of their Human Torch image, originally created by artist Adi Granov for the cover of Fantastic Four, vol. 4, 542 (Jan. 2007 Marvel Comics), accessed from Wikipedia, is "fair use"!
