Final hurrah?

OK, so.
Those of you who were able to make the last meeting heard the sad news that the next session may be the last meeting of the SF/F Book Club I'll be chairing. I'll know August 1 whether or not I'll be gainfully employed here.....(which allows for a shameless plug - anyone got a good lead on a full-time job for a librarian? It doesn't have to be in a library, just something I might be good at....)
ANYWAY, in honour of our possible last hurrah, I thought we could vote on what kind of snacks people would like - I suspect it will involve chocolate of some kind, but let me know - and people can like to select a SHORT SF/F movie, or parts of a couple SF/F movie they'd like to see. I'm not letting you off the hook - you still gotta read Childhood's End by Clarke, and I'll try to get that movie, but if anyone would like to see, say, the final fight scene from "The Princess Bride" or Rutger Hauer's android solioquy from "Blade Runner", or the Death Star blow up from "Star Wars" let me know, I'll get those too.
If, come August 1st, I dodge the bullet, we'll just consider it a "Midsummer Fun Session".
If this is your first time coming, let me know, so I'll know to buy additional snacks. Actually, this would be a really good time to get as many people out as possible - the more people we have out, the more likely it is the group will survive after my "passing".
Thanks all!!!
