About us
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.

While this movie starts at 7:00 PM, the passes are first come, first served when you get to the theater. So, you should get there at least one hour early to have a chance to get a seat at this event as they will be overbooked. There are a limited number of seats in the screening room, so you even if you have a screening pass, you must be at the theater well before the 7pm call time. Once the seats run out, no one else will be able to be admitted to the screening. They will start letting people in on a first come, first served basis at 6:00 pm and will close the doors at 6:55 pm.
These passes are of limited supply. The link and password to the screening may not be shared with anyone else or posted on any other websites/forums. Any member found in violation of this rule will be removed and banned from this Meetup group. No exceptions!!
Each screening pass will be good for up to four people. when you get the pass, it will give you the option to select how many people will be coming with you to the screening. for this screening, you must select the number of people (including yourself) you plan to bring to the screening. you will have the choice to select 1-4 people. Everyone must be present and in line at the time we scan your screening pass. each pass will have a unique QR code that will only work once.
When you get to the theater, get in the back of the line and wait to be admitted into the theater room. You can meet other members of the group once you get in the screening room.
Absolutely no line cutting!! Both members must get in line at the same time. No other members may join you in line after there are other attendees waiting behind you. Every person must start at the back of the line.
I will message each member with a unique link and one-time use pass code to print the screening pass at some point after you sign up for the meetup.

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.
