Post by: Mysterious Benefactor on February 07, 2020, 11:34:36 PM: Coming up at Taylor Community Library (https://triborobanner.com/news/coming-up-at-taylor-community-library-1.2591521)

They're meeting again:

FEB. 11
Dark Shadows Club: Tuesday, Feb. 11 from 6-8 p.m. Spend two hours watching the gang on Widow’s Hill. It is sure to bring back memories.

Apparently this group must attract enough people for the library to consider it a viable group that they're willing to host...

I wish there was something like this closer to my area, I wonder if there would be even enough interest to get a good group going. I'd imagine it would be something that would start off slow and build to a decent size group as word of mouth spreads. Also, I wonder what the legalities are of showing DS in a setting like this in terms of copyright?

She had organized something similar about the time I started working there and I did a display. Unfortunately we only had a couple of people show up a few times.

As an aside, I recently taught a class on Edgar Allan Poe at my local College for Seniors!

Post by: Philippe Cordier on March 16, 2020, 08:52:21 PM: It was, thank you! I was asked to teach something and had been reading Poe lately, and when I suggested him, they said yes. Four sessions scheduled for one hour, but each class went to an hour and a half (and everybody stayed). I learned so much about Poe's work that I hadn't known/seen/understood until I delved into the depths, reading a lot of literary criticism helped. A greater writer than I had ever realized.
