We requested information from The Los Angeles Science Fiction Society on how they got their clubhouse buildings. The inimitable Tadao Tomomatsu made a wonderful interview video of Milt Stevens and Dr. Jerry Pournelle. They described some of the things they went through to get their clubhouses and ideas for consideration. It’s really very interesting.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Video produced & directed by Tadao Tomomatsu, filmed on location at the Los Angeles Science Fiction Society Clubhouse. Uploaded and linked with Tadao’s permission and that of Mr. Stevens and Dr. Pournelle.

Much thanks to LASFS, and to the League of Wonders for putting it up here. Has given me much to think about.

A lot of what’s said in here will be familiar to the homeowners among us, especially the part about it not being over once you’ve bought the building. League of Wonders needs to give serious thought to finding fans with construction & maintenance skills who are willing to put in some time. Otherwise you’ll be putting out some serious money for maintenance & repairs.

Over on File 770 there’s an article about the birth of the LASFS building fund. (link attached to my name here)

For some reason when I try to use the Your URL field to link to the article all I get is the message “discarded” without any reason why. Anyway the article is on the front page on the File 770 web site currently. If you’re looking for it later you should be able to append ?p=1929 to the URL to get to the article.

Not sure why that didn’t work (will look into it, probably some spam protection bs)
Try this everyone:
[…] Comment! Thanks to Kevin Austin for mentioning a link to Paul Turner’s Remarks about how the LASFS Building Fund came to be in response to our own earlier post about the history of the LASFS clubhouse. […]
