Sub Group Update: Changes and Additions
A number of the Association's sub groups have recently undergone
changes. As has been previously reported, the Bergen County chapter of the
Final Frontier has reorganized. Instead of discussing Star Trek from 6:00 -
7:00 PM, we now show videos of the first season of Babylon 5. The 7:00 PM
viewing of the broadcast of Star Trek: Deep Space 9 is unaffected.
Patricia Malone is no longer able to make it to gatherings of Anime
Associates on the second Saturday of the month. Charles Garofalo and Philip De
Parto will supply material from their collections in March, April and May. The
group suspends operations during the summer. By the fall we hope to have a
pipeline to Pat to get us videos even if she is unable to attend.
Barnes & Noble is concerned that their corporate image may be
tarnished by hosting Vampire Book Discussion Groups at a time when a vampire
cult in Florida killed a woman and drained her blood. The Association's Vampire
Book Group, which has been the Nanuet Barnes & Noble's largest and most consist
book group for the past couple of years has been disbanded. The Association now
sponsors a Monsters Book Group in its place. Vampire Books will occasionally be
chosen by this group.
The Livingston Chapter of The Final Frontier will soon modify its
format. The first hour's discussion will focus on Trek, Babylon 5, and other
-- 3 --
shows. The second hour will focus on books.
The big news of the month is the launch of two new bookstore
discussion groups by the Association: a Computer Users Group and a Media Tie -
In Book Group.
The Computer Users Group will meet at the Barnes & Noble store on
the southbound side of Route 17 in Paramus, New Jersey. Gatherings will be held
on the second floor at 8:00 PM on the first Monday of the month. Each meeting
will feature a talk and question-and-answer session pertaining to the subject of
the talk. There will be a break after the Q&A. The group will then resume,
with questions and commentary from the floor on any aspect of computers. Philip
De Parto will moderate the group until a permanent moderator can be found.
The Media-Tie-In Book Group will read and discuss books which are
offshoots of the television, movie, and gaming industries. Meetings will be
held at 8:00 PM on the third Thursday of the month at Barnes & Noble in West
Paterson. Philip De Parto will be the pro tem moderator.

A light dusting of snow was enough to make a number of regulars miss
the February 8, 1997 meeting of the Science Fiction Association of Bergen
County. Those who did make it out found that the roads were fine and the
meeting fun.
Philip De Parto, Hiroshi Konoya, James La Barre, John Upton, Taras
Wolansky, and Mark Wolkoff joined guest speaker Amy Goldslager for a pleasant
dinner at the Mason Jar in Mahwah, New Jersey before the meeting. Turnout was
light for both pre meeting groups. Details can be found under the February
Activity Recap.
Amy Goldslager had always been a voracious reader of fantasy and
science fiction. She was especially concerned with authors getting the details
down right. She mentioned, for example, how her enjoyment of one book was
destroyed by the author's contradiction of the genealogy stated in other books
in the series. She felt that by becoming involved in editing, she could help
writers get it right, and get lots of free books besides.
There are a lot of changes happening at Avon Books at this time.
The AvoNova imprint will be dropped and a new one adopted. The line will become
less eclectic and more focused as a publisher of literary science fiction. Some
authors will be dropped and others added as part of this process. Several of
the higher level people who have recently joined the company have ties to sf, so
fantasy and science fiction should be less of an afterthought in the company.
Avon science fiction will go on a hiatus later this year to retool
for this makeover. There will be only two science fiction books published
during this period, one by Michael Moorcock and the other by J R Dunn. Both
books will be published as general fiction.
Ms Goldslager recounted her responsibilities as an Editorial
Assistant and the process by which a manuscript is bought and turned into a
book. She also plugged some books she is excited about, especially Dunn's opus
concerning a time traveller who wants to stop the Holocaust, and about her
experiences in meeting and speaking to science fiction writers. She mentioned
past guest Charles Pellegrino as a particularly interesting personality.
-- 6 --
Amy Goldslager was particularly engaging on a one-on-one basis. She
had interesting things to say about the Star Wars re-release, and about Hercules
and Xena with the pre meeting diners and appeared to be in animated discussion
at the post-meeting coffee.
Roy Greenberg, John Upton, Bruce Wallace and Mark Wolkoff won door
prize books. Thanks go to Charles Garofalo for the refreshments, Roy Greenberg
for the tea and brewer, Ellen Heine for the cheesecake, Pamela Webber for the
TV/VCR and lots else, Robert Yeager for the kitchen clean up, and everyone else
who pitched in to help out. The group went to Nellie's Place in Waldwick, New
Jersey after the meeting.
February Activity Recap
The final meeting of the Vampire Book Group was held on Thursday,
February 6, 1997 at Barnes & Noble in Nanuet, New York. Under pressure from the
B&N corporate office, the group suspended its name and orientation. It has
become the Monster Book Group. The group was discussing the first 50 stories of
100 Vicious Little Vampire Stories published by Barnes & Noble press when this
occurred. Those present were S F A B Cers Philip De Parto, James La Barre,
Robert Le Bow and Greg Roman, as well as regulars Ann-Marie Brown, Kathleen
Brown-Romeo, Brendan Brosnan, and Gwynneth Cally. Phil, James, Ann-Marie,
Kathleen, Brendan and Gwynneth walked over to the renovated Nanuet Diner
afterwards. The best one-two of the night was Brendan's "What could anyone find
to dislike about me?" and Anne-Marie's rejoinder, "The possibilities are
endless."
William Molendyk ran the club's AD&D Game on Saturday, February 8,
1997. Players in attendance were S F A B Cers Anthony Di Prima, Charles
Garofalo, Sharon Roberg and Michael Straniere, as well as non members Joel
Ryerson and John Santa Maria. The party relieved the forces of Gorm who were
under attack by those of Zargon, convinced the cults of Gorm, Madarua, and
Usimagaris to withdraw with us to a place of safety, healed the wounded, had a
Raise Dead spell placed upon Damrod, and did some training exercises.
Car troubles caused moderator Patricia Malone to miss the gathering
of Anime Associates. Charles Garofalo stepped in with episodes of Dragon
Half
and Those Obnoxious Aliens.
Carol Smith furnished "Born to the Purple," a first season episode
of Babylon 5, as the first half of the program of The Final Frontier. The
broadcast episode of Star Trek: Deep Space 9 was tuned in at 7:00 PM.
The 1944 classic horror film, The Uninvited, was shown at That's
Science Fiction! at Borders in Paramus on Wednesday, February 12, 1997.
S F A B Cers Philip De Parto, Chris Hasselkus, Steve Herr, Robert Pinkus, Robert
Savoye, Kate Stewart, Eileen Watkins, Pamela Webber and Barry Weinberger watched
the flick and the debut episode of the short-lived sit-com, Hi, Honey, I'm
Home.
The Livingston Chapter of The Final Frontier met on Friday, February
14, 1997 at Barnes & Noble in Livingston to discuss Treatments of Using Space
Stations a Setting. S F A B Cers present were Philip De Parto, Brian Gonigal,
Jean Heslin, Stephanie Rosen, Steve Rubin and Pamela Webber, regulars Vincent
Carlucci, Joann Carlucci, and Fernando Ruiz, and newcomers Charles Applebaum and
Susan Kehr. Phil, Brian, Stephanie, Steve, Pam, Vince and Joann went out to the
Ritz Diner for a long time afterwards. Among the topics of conversation were Oz
and the Three Stooges, although Brian admitted that he could never get into the
Stooges because he was too puzzled by the backstory, such as which medical
school they graduated from and what other cases they had solved as detectives.
Walter Miller Jr's A Canticle for Leibowitz and the topic of Science
Fiction and Religion were examined at the Topic Discussion Group's meeting at
Borders in Paramus on Tuesday, February 18, 1997. Philip De Parto filled in for
an absent Carol Smith in the hopeless and thankless task of moderating the
discussion. Also present were S F A B Cers David Goldfeder, James La Barre,
Ernest Lilley, Michael Piazza, Robert Pinkus, Stephanie Rosen, Robert Savoye,
and Pamela Webber and newcomers Barbara Downey and Doris Stoddart. Among the
works discussed were those of Philip K Dick and James Blish, Star Trek and
Babylon 5.
