The theme for 2009’s sleepover is Graphic Novel Movies.  We watched five movies on December 18 and 19.  This is the concept art that Eric Kozak, Head of SciFan, designed.  It is a composite of five characters, one from each movie:

These are the movies:

We also had a lot of snack.  (Not seen here: 24 raman noodle cups.)

It wouldn’t have been SciFan sleepover without some props, such as this Light Saber.

Passing the Lightsaber: Next Year’s Head is Chosen

To Sleep or Not to Sleep… That is…


It was ALL GOOD!

So. I just listened to Citytalkers by Mur Lafferty, read by Deborah Green, on Escapepod. It was last year’s Christmas story there and I thought some of you might enjoy it, too. I wonder if you were to personify New York City, how would you describe it.

It’s rated PG: Contains moderate violence and stronger weather.

Here’s the story: directly linked from www.escapepod.org, a fabulous sci-fi podcast site by Steve Eley.
