We are the greatest/only Improvisational Rube-Goldberg Machine team in the world! Join us as we meet in a casual atmosphere for some silly science fun. At each meeting, we use only the random items we bring with us to design a spontaneous Rube Goldberg Machine together that does a trivial task (like cracking an egg, or ringing a bell, for example) through a creative, convoluted sequence of connected simple machines. Then, we see if it works! Although we're enthusiastic about the recreational fun …

Do you ever spend time on tumblr wishing that you could have the opportunity to bask in the presence of other tumblrites in real life? That you could find a community of fellow fangirls/fanboys/fanpeople to share in the shows, movies, or games that you love without the (sometimes wonderful, don't get me wrong) limitations of having a computer screen separating you? That someone would see your t-shirt/bracelet/backpack/whatever and recognize the fandom in-joke and be able to relate to you about i …

It's only been in the last 10 years that I started regularly reading this genre. I know there had to be plenty of people in the Tacoma area wanting to share this passion with a group of like-minded readers.

If you're passionate about reading and discussing sci-fi AND fantasy books, film and television this is the place for you! Once a month we'll meet to discuss the current book se …
