The following account is reprinted with permission from THE STARSHIP EXPRESS Copyright 2006 Philip J De Parto:
It was no surprise that the first (and, thus far, only) winter blizzard occurred on the day of the club meeting on Saturday, February 11, 2006. The storm deposited a record snowfall on Central Park, New York, and varying amounts throughout the rest of the region. The worst did not hit us until well after the meeting was over, and those who braved the elements had a good time.
Taras Wolansky presented a feature film, THE VENUS WARS, at the anime gathering. Since the Final Frontier STAR TREK discussion was canceled by the weather, we showed WARS on the main floor instead of the basement. The video was well received by the group, as well as those who dropped in to catch a snatch of the flick.
We had anticipated the call from our scheduled guest informing us that she had decided to cancel her appearance due to the storm. She has been rescheduled for later in the year.
We were prepared with a two part video program. Part one consisted of the documentary, RED DWARF A - Z, a bonus feature from the second series. It included clips from the show as well as remarks by Patrick Stewart, Stephen Hawking, two Daleks, and others.
We took a short break and then resumed with the second video. This was DOCTOR WHO: THE CHRISTMAS INVASION, which bridges the 2005/2006 seasons of the show. The group cheered and applauded at the end of the episode.
We thank everyone who helped with the set up, clean up, and running of the meeting, especially Robert Yeager who supplied several bags of soda and goodies.
