The Denver Area Science Fiction Association
DASFA is a science fiction and fantasy fan club that has been meeting continuously in the Denver area since the early 1970s.
We meet on the third Saturday of each month in the community room of the Whole Foods Market at 1111 South Washington Street in Denver. Meeting time is at 7:00 PM. There are two exceptions to this schedule -- the August picnic on the third Saturday of August, and the annual Christmas party in December.
Check out the details at http://www.thelocal.de/society/20100121-24721.html:
"The Complete Metropolis" will be held at the Deutsche Kinemathek museum for film and television at Potsdamer Platz, where many of the Berlinale red carpet events take place.
"It will be sort of a Making Of," said curator Kristina Jaspers.

Picked up a post from Charles Stross at http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2010/01/2009-hugo-nomination..., which discusses the fact that Hugo Nominations are now open for the 2009 Hugo awards.
Ah, and check out this lovely rememberance of Dan O'Bannon's work and life.
A bit of news reported on Tor.com:
On December 11, 1929, the world’s first club devoted to science fiction met for the first time. They called themselves the Scienceers. Years later, in 1961, one of their original number recalled those days in a fanzine article which, through the magic of the World Wide Web, can be read here.
Happy Birthday Everyone!
