Announcements
Good at Being Bad: The DeBartolo Performing Arts Center and the Center for the Homeless will present arguably the worst movie ever, "Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959)," by the worst director ever, Ed Wood (until YouTube and MySpace spawned a multitude of Ed Wood's) at 2 p.m. tomorrow in the CFH Community Room.
Aliens from outer space paralyze the living and bring the dead back as vampires and zombies. The aliens, of course, are led by the aging Bela Lugosi. The 1930's Dracula star died during filming and nobody noticed. The film itself is too bad to die.
Qi-Gong: Mondays, 1-2 p.m., in the Community Room. All are welcome.
Voter Registration: There will be someone on hand to register voters Mondays at 6 p.m., either in the men's lounge or the Community Room. (Note: the deadline for voter registration is Monday, October 6).
