October 11th Meeting

During Halloween, children appear as vicious monsters. To get people into the spirit, the first episode of Pet Shop of Horrors tells the tale of a monster with the appearance of an angelic child, the Dirty Pair is sent after terrorist children, and the Strawberry Marshmallow girls are up to their usual mischief. On the other side, Human Crossing and Rumiko Takahashi Anthology both portray problematic parents.

As always, many thanks to the Santa Clara City Library for hosting our meetings. This month, we're in the Cedar room, which is the one closer to the restrooms.

All times are approximate, so try to be early!
