Houston and/or Texas Science Fiction Organizations

Austin-area

We sponsor many activities aimed towards furthering the cause of literacy and the enjoyment of the genres. One example is ArmadilloCon, our annual literary conference. Some of our other functions include autographings, the F.A.C.T. Science Fiction Reading Group, meetings, social gatherings and The F.A.C.T. Sheet.

We wield battle sabers and practice PVC swords to learn and share with others about this wonderful martial art. Lone Star Jedi appreciates the many forms as well as the dangers of this art by showcasing our skills through cos play, character development and live stage combat.

The goal of the Lone Star Jedi is to provide local fans with opportunities to meet other fans who reside in Central Texas who share a love for swordsmanship, costuming (or cos play), and stage combat.

Opportunities through the group may include but not be limited to online activities, club meetings, professional and amateur sword instruction, sword building or saber smithy, fan films, other fun activities, and a way of providing a connective matrix to other Star Wars fans, Jedi Martial Art fans and swords persons in the surrounding areas.

Dallas-area

So if you have a particular fondness for all things fandom, or even just a few, feel free to join Fandom at Random DFW, the all-inclusive fandom group!

And speaking of local conventions, one of the other purposes of Fandom at Random DFW is to help further awareness of the rich Dallas/Fort Worth (and also Texas) convention scene. Many of these great conventions go unnoticed by fans who would love to attend. Look to us as a source for info on upcoming conventions of every kind!

Finally, we are silly for the fan collector's scene. We love meeting fellow collectors and hope to develop a network to help local collectors help each other find those great toys, comics, and other collectibles that may not be available in one are but plentiful in another.

Why not join us and become a part of the newest force in DFW fandom!

"We are meeting at J. Gilligan's Bar and Grill [400 E Abram St, Arlington, TX] in Arlington. It's a great place with something for everyone. This includes their famous Irish Nachos. Meet and Geeks tend to be open discussions on SciFi/Horror/Fantasy topics. So come and bring a friend!"

Doctor Who

In addition to our viewings and online forum, we also feature several links to other sites, and a Houston area Doctor Who Media Library. Space City also sponsors Space/Time Excursions to the Texas Renaissance Festival and Dickens on the Strand, as well as a cookout every July and an all day Doctor Who marathon to celebrate the show's anniversary in November.

Join us today and help us celebrate the return of Doctor Who.

Established shortly after the last Space City Con 2013 [Meetup group founded 10/31/2013], the IKV logh veng is a home for Houston’s more Klingon-oriented Star Trek fans.

We’re accepting new members, and are in collaboration with many other local Star Trek fandoms in the Greater Houston area.

Additionally we’re affiliated with the other local Klingon fandoms based in other major cities such as Dallas and Austin.

We invite those interested, in the spirit of Kahless to partake in an honorable (and fun) organization!

Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and the other Inklings are welcome to join the Houston Fans Meetup Group, attend dinners, and enjoy themselves. Occasional guest speakers will be invited to present special programs. Some book signings may be arranged as well.

Monthly dinner parties held at the Hobbit Cafe [2243 Richmond Ave., Houston, TX] have been organized around themes and lively discussion. Members enjoy trivia contests, sharing books and special news, occasional audio-visual presentations, and planning special activities together.

If you want to buy or sell fanzines, media-related artwork or pictures, scripts, collectibles, TV & movie memorabilia - REVELCON (our Houston, Texas area media convention) is coming your way!

We hold monthly meetings and video parties highlighting shows from all fandoms. We host the Summer Fannish Party in (of course, Summer). We support writing, discussing, filking, reading, art, and anything else about any media show out there.

The Alternate Reality Group of Houston (ARGH) is organized under the auspices of the Houston Science Fiction Association, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

ARGH encourages the discussion of imaginative fiction by organizing social events every couple of months that are open to all like-minded people who are interested in works of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and anything else we can think of, whatever form they may take.

For more information about ARGH, please go to our Web site or email our dear leader, the Big Kahuna himself, at kahuna@arghouston.org .

Then come on out to the Houston Ritual Science Fiction Breakfast held at 9 AM EVERY Saturday (unless otherwise noted) at the Avenue Grill located at 1017 Houston Avenue, Houston, TX 77007.

Meet Houston Science Fiction Society alumni members (& newer fans) and make new friends discussing the latest fannish matters!
