Breathable atmosphere? Check. SD Space t-shirts? Check. Beer? Check. Good Conversation? Well, we need your help with that last one. Join members of SD Space and fellow space enthusiasts/advocates at Station Tavern for a night of relaxed fun talking about space exploration news, our future in space, and anything else that comes to mind.

Don’t worry if you can’t make it this time; there will be another one in a few weeks—location and date to be announced here. No need to RSVP, either; just stop on by and look for the space geeks table. SD Space members will be wearing their t-shirts for easy identification. See you there!

San Diego Vintage Sci-Fi presents:

INVASION OF THE SAUCER-MEN

(USA, 1957) 69 minutes

Johnny Carter and Joan Hayden plan to elope but, first, visit a local lover’s-lane for a compatibility check-up. Tooling along in the dark, with no headlights, they hit something, check it out and discover it is a little green man and scurry off to inform the local authorities. The police think it is a practical joke but, when they check it out, they find a man’s body there and charge the two with manslaughter. The victim actually had the misfortune to also run into some little green men, who came to earth via a flying saucer with bad intentions.

Showtime is 7:00pm at Studio 106 in the Golden Hill area just east of downtown San Diego, CA.

Admission is FREE, and popcorn is provided (you can bring snacks or drinks to share).

Please RSVP, as seating is limited.
