What we’re about
We started as a group of folks with Star Trek in common, but we have since discovered we are more than Trekkies. We talk about all things Sci-Fi. We get together for many fun and friendly meetings and group events.

Science Trivia Night
The Daily Planet Cafe, 121 West Jones Street, Raleigh, NC, USWhat does H2O mean or what is the closest planet to Earth? Come and find out.
There will be similar questions asked and answered at the Museum of Natural Sciences Science Trivia Night. On the first Thursday of the month the museum has science trivia at the Daily Planet Cafe.
You do not have to be a science geek, just come and have a good time. If you are a science geek then this might be something for you to enjoy and also help out the group. NO smart phones, phone a friend, tablets, laptops, or notes. (alias 'no lookups' :D ) If it feels like cheating, then it probably is. Cheating means disqualification for the team.
Science Trivia starts at 7 pm but please be there as close to the requested start time for this meetup as you can make it since seating is very limited. If you arrive after the 6:30 start time you may not have a seat, if you arrive after 7 you may find yourself sitting out and only observing.
Please update your RSVP when anything changes so we can get a head count on how many chairs to save at the table. Teams are limited to eight people per team so if more than eight people RSVP will will divide into two teams. If we have eight players at 7 pm we will have one team and late arrivals will have to form their own team or sit out. Please RSVP to this event if you want to go.

Museum Movie: The Princess Bride
Museum of Natural Sciences , Downtown Raleigh, Raleigh, NC, USThis movie has a high sell-out potential. They have already sold about half of the available tickets.
A kindly grandfather sits down with his grandson and reads him a bedtime story. The story is one that has been passed down through from father to son for generations. As the grandfather reads the story, the action comes alive. The story is a classic tale of love and adventure as the beautiful Buttercup is kidnapped and held against her will in order to marry the odious Prince Humperdinck, and Westley (her childhood beau, now returned as the Dread Pirate Roberts) attempts to save her. On the way he meets an accomplished swordsman and a huge, super strong giant, both of whom become his companions in his quest to rescue Buttercup. In addition to science activities and stations before the movie, we’ll host an expert and movie trivia (with prizes) following the screening. Don’t miss it!
Run time is 1h 38min. See more info. Buy tickets. Tickets are $5 and $3 for museum members.
