Brace Yourself, Philadelphia Film Lovers!

roughguide.jpgOn January 26th, I’ll be meeting up with John Scalzi, the author of The Rough Guide to Sci-Fi Movies, at Germ Books + Gallery, which we’re led to believe is in a very hip part of town and is itself a very happening place. For where else would Scalzi join with the author of The Stewardess Is Flying the Plane to discuss great (and not so great) science fiction movies of the ’70s? As he told his fans:

“The plan at the moment is to have the two of us blab at each other for a while and then open up the floor to questions, comments, and spontaneous dance routines from the audience. But you never do know. Hey, it’s a live appearance! Anything could happen. And both Ron and I are smartass know-it-alls, so I expect this to be fun. At the very least we’ll amuse ourselves.”

So come on and help us fill up the bookstore—and if you don’t actually live in Philly, but you have friends who do, well, tell them to come see us!
