* Jared Diamond CollapseJared Diamond Collapse

Time: 7:30 pm

Jared Diamond, professor of geography at UCLA, will present the Trinity University DeCoursey Lecture for the 2009-2010 academic year at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 1, in Laurie Auditorium. The title of his talk is Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed. His presentation is free and open to the public. The ruined cities, temples, and statues of history’s great, vanished societies (Easter Island, the Anasazi, the Lowland Maya, Angkor Wat, Great Zimbabwe, and many more) are the birthplace of endless romantic mysteries. But these disappearances offer more than idle conjecture: the social collapses were due in part to the types of environmental problems that beset us today. Yet many societies facing similar problems do not collapse. What makes certain societies especially vulnerable? Why didn’t their leaders perceive and solve their environmental problems? What can we learn from their fates, and what can we do differently today to help us avoid their fates?

* Idaho TransferIdaho Transfer

Time: 7:30 pm

FREE WEIRD WEDNESDAY featuring IDAHO TRANSFER Feb 3 Wed 7:30 PM Location:ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE WESTLAKES Karen Braden (Kelly Bohanon) is brought by her father George and her sister Isa into a government project stationed near the Craters of the Moon lava fields in Idaho. The project has been commissioned to develop matter transference, but has made a greater leap: the scientists have developed a pair of time machines, and have discovered that a mysterious impending ecological catastrophe will wipe out civilization. Other government entities seek to shut down the project as the idealistic scientists attempt to keep the nature of their discovery a secret. The use of the transfer devices has deleterious effects upon the health of the travelers. Adults "not much older than 20" are unable to survive the journey for long, as apparently their kidneys will begin to hemorrhage. Thus, the scientists have decided to send young people 56 years into the future in order to build a new civilization. On the return trip from her orientation transfer, Karen accidentally kills her sister. She then flees to the future again, where she becomes withdrawn despite the sympathies of the arriving young researchers. After the time machines are taken offline by the government, the young researchers hike toward Portland, Oregon, but certain revelations do not bode well for the project's goals. Increasingly disheartened, Karen hikes back to the transfer station, where she is attacked by another researcher who has been driven mad by what she has discovered. Karen uses the time machine to escape and returns to a point farther in the future, where she encounters the residents of that time...

Top wo Nerae 2! Diebuster follows the story of Nono, a country girl who dreams of becoming a space pilot (or to be more precise, 'like Nonoriri,' you'll see as the series progresses) who, due to a chance encounter with an actual space pilot, Lal'C Melk Mark, finds herself becoming part of the elite Fraternity. Made up of teenage pilots called Topless (get that thought out of your mind), and armed with quasi-humanoid weapons called Buster Machines, the Fraternity's mission is to protect the people of the Solar System from attack by swarms of space monsters. Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu (Haruka Nogizaka's Secret). Episode 1:"It's All Over..." While Yūto is rather ordinary, Haruka is very attractive, intelligent, and rich.

One day, Yūto's good friend Nobunaga Asakura asks him to return a book to the school library, and when he goes to return it, Yūto stumbles across Haruka and her darkest secret—she is a diehard fan of anime, manga, and the otaku culture. Yūto promises to keep her secret hidden and the two become close friends. Yūto does his best to help Haruka with her secret hobby while developing his relationship with her. Natsume Yuujinchou Episode 1: "The Cat and the Book of Friends" "Neko to Yū jinchō" For as long as he can remember, Takashi has been cursed by the ability to see spirits a power inherited from his grandmother Reiko. Upon her death, Reiko bequeaths to her grandson her Book of Friends, a book containing the names of spirits Reiko had bullied into servitude. The Book of Friends is a highly prized item in the spirit world, and spirits hound Takashi constantly. Whereas Reiko formed the contracts, however, Takashi spends his time dissolving the contracts and releasing the various spirits that come to him for help. But that doesn't mean there aren't malicious spirits trying to kill him. Which is where Madara (called Nyanko-sensei by Natsume) comes in; Madara serves as Natsume's bodyguard and spiritual advisor of sorts, even though he is motivated by his own desire to possess the Book of Friends.

The Overtime Theater presents an onstage homage to comic-book romance. Adapted from actual romance comics from the 1960’s and early ’70’s, Sob Choke Love! 3D! will stage live versions of these classic, sappy stories in their full glory. The stories are acted out verbatim, comic book panel by panel, with all of the dialogue that scintillated then and disturbs now. The past two incarnations of Sob Choke Love! have been selected as “one of the best shows of 2008 and 2009″ (San Antonio Express-News) and called “strange and hilarious” (UTSA Paisano). This year, Sob Choke Love! 3D! will include two short stories and one long-form romance told, Rashomon-style, from three different perspectives. The ensemble cast includes Matthew Arch, Sophia Bolles, Lilly Canaria, Cary Farrow, Matthew Sinclair, Theresa Ronquillo, and Lucy Villanueva. Sob Choke Love! 3D! is directed by Kathleen Lovejoy and Sophia Bolles. Showtimes are 8 pm Thursdays-Saturdays starting February 12th. Two Sunday shows are scheduled for Feb. 14 (a special 8 pm Valentine’s Day Show with champagne and chocolate reception – $30/couple) and Feb. 21 (3 pm). Ticket prices are $12 general admission, and $9 for teachers, students, seniors 65+ and SATCO members. The Overtime is downtown in the Blue Star Arts Complex at 1414 S. Alamo St., Suite 103.
