Close Encounters in the Archives: The NYU Science Fiction Club and Serendipity

Earth Matters Flyer depicting two trolls seated at a round table. In the center of the table there is a small vase with a flower and a cup of coffee in front of each troll. The troll on the left asks, "Wanna join me for dinner?" The troll on the right responds "Only if it's on Earth Matters." Earth Matters is written at the top of the poster in stylized font to look like tree trunks, branches and leaves. Handwritten text surounds the trolls in a semi-circle and reads "Tuesday February 11, 1992 Loeb Student Center Room 909." The trolls are surrounded also by five individual drawings: a platter of bread, cheese, and vegetables; a bunch of grapes attached to a vine and grape leaf; a cask; a hexagonal lunch tray with a drink, a muffin, and a plate of vegetables; and a person wearing a turban, sitting against a tree, playing a stringed instrument. The handwritten text at the bottom of the flyer reads "Good food, music, conversation, vegetarian cuisine."
