THURSDAY, August 26th at 7pm & 9pm: Two Sessions Tonight!

@ 7pm:  Selections from A BLINK OF THE SCREEN in The Glen

In the four decades since his first book appeared in print, Terry Pratchett has become one of the world's best-selling and best-loved authors. Here for the first time are his short stories and other short-form fiction collected into one volume. A Blink of the Screen charts the course of Pratchett's long writing career: from his schooldays through to his first writing job on the Bucks Free Press, and the origins of his debut novel, The Carpet People; and on again to the dizzy mastery of the phenomenally successful Discworld series.

Cale reads three selections from this collection: Rincemangle, the Gnome of Even Moor, Hollywood Chickens, and Once and Future. Presented live on stream.

@ 9pm: Seanchai Late Night

Finn Zeddmore shares contemporary sci-fi-fantasy from online sources, live in Voice.

WEDNESDAY, August 25th at 7pm: CREATURES OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS Continues

Two gods, two houses, one quest and the eternal war between life and death. To save his kingdom, Anubis, Lord of the Dead, sends forth his servant on a mission of vengeance. At the same time, from The House of Life, Osiris sends forth his son, Horus, on the same mission to destroy utterly & forever The Prince Who Was a Thousand.

But neither of these superhuman warriors is prepared for the strange & harrowing world of mortal life. The Thing That Cries in the Night may well destroy not only their worlds, but all humankind.

Corwyn Allen presents another fantasy by master author Roger Zelazny, live on stream.

The Thin Man is a 1934 American pre-Code comedy-mystery directed by W. S. Van Dyke and based on the 1934 novel of the same name by Dashiell Hammett. The film stars William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles, a leisure-class couple who enjoy copious drinking and flirtatious banter. Nick is a retired police detective who left his very successful career when he married Nora, a wealthy heiress accustomed to high society. Their wire-haired fox terrier Asta was played by canine actor Skippy. In 1997, the film was added to the United States National Film Registry having been deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

"By Grabthar's Hammer!"

GALAXY QUEST pt2

-- Special 90 minute presentation --

 

For years, the intrepid crew of the NSEA Protector valiantly entertained millions of television viewers with their voyages through space. Now the crew is on another adventure bravely touring the sci-fi convention circuit and making guest appearance at two-bit computer stores. But their dull existence gets a quantum rocket boost when a group of aliens believing the television episodes to be true "historical documents" enlist the crew's help to save them from an evil alien empire. Now these washed-up TV actors find themselves deep in space, playing their roles as if their lives, and the lives of an entire alien race, depend on it!

Tonight we join our heroes as they have just escaped, through a stellar minefield, certain annihilation at the hands of the villainous Sarris. During the recent battle the ships beryllium sphere was fractured, so Captain Taggart and crew have landed on an unknown planet to try to find a new core at mining operation they spotted from space.
