		LASFL - Los Angeles branch of the Science Fiction League, later the LASFS.
		Suffice to say that the reasons appear to have been: Dislike of Ackerman personally; Ackerman's objections to the intrusion of drinking, wenching, ktp, on LASFS affairs; belief that the Society was becoming a collection of psychologically maladjusted people; and discontent with the accomplishments of the LASFS as compared to its possibilities.
		The method is used chiefly for illustrations, which may be reproduced in white line on a fl (or other colored) background, by cutting away only the lines, or a dark lines on a white background, by cutting away all except the lines (and other dark areas).

	LASFS THROUGH THE YEARS
		The society's origins date back to the nineteen thirties, a time of prosperity -- not financial, of course, that was the era of the Great Depression.
		The club would be called the Science Fiction League, and local groups across the nation could become chapters simply by applying to Wonder Stories for a charter.
		The society motto is "De Profundis Ad Astra", which, loosely translated, means "from the earth to the stars".

	Mimosa 23, pages 31-32. "Through Time and Space with Forry Ackerman (Part 8)" by Forrest J Ackerman
		In this installment, he recalls the roots of the Los Angeles Science Fiction Society (LASFS), a club among the oldest continuously in existence, and some of the people that made it special.
		I moved, without my parents, from San Francisco to Los Angeles in 1934, and I attended the very first meeting of the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society, which was held in October of that year.
		He created something called 'Kwerkean', a funny language all his own, and later wrote an early history of Los Angeles fandom called "Memoirs of a Superfluous Fan." There was Morojo, Myrtle R. Douglas, about eight years older than I. She first came to my attention when we were together in a class learning Esperanto.

	The Stupid Fan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		It may well be that "naïve" is not the best word to describe the kind of fan I was as a young man. Given the amount of shock I experienced during an early meeting with a Big Name Author, perhaps a stronger term than "naïve" is in order.
		I was eventually to become quite active in the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society, serving two full terms as president of the club and two thirds of a term on the board of directors.
		Their token science fiction writer in attendance was to be Ray Bradbury.

		Derision notwithstanding, with the double whammy wrap-up of both "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" - arguably science fiction's most influential and lucrative franchises - sci fi fans are as visible and active as ever.
		There is material coming from what is called the "expanded universe," which is material not directly related to the movies, such as some of the other books Stover wrote and the upcoming animated and live television shows George Lucas has announced.
		There are certainly regular conventions devoted to science fiction, fantasy and anime.

		Moskowitz's latter teenage years coincide with the latter 1930s; he's a major participant in a lot of the fan history here, particularly the last several years when the first tiny science fiction conventions were held.
		The critical early cultural split among SF clubgoers was whether any given organization was to be devoted to science education and science hobbies, or to discussion of science fiction itself.
		The Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society (LASFS), dating from 1934, is the sole survivor of the clubs from this era.

	Heinlein Happens
		It was essential that Heinlein (and all other significant science fiction people) appear to be a friend of Chicago fandom at all costs, and his costs were exceedingly high.
		I knew everyone in science fiction, or flattered myself that I did, and went way out of my way trying to make sure that they knew me. Especially, I felt, I knew Robert Heinlein, because I was becoming obsessive about his less attractive facets.
		Everyone and their brother remotely connected to science fiction was hitting on me for somethingsome very extra special little private service that would improve their condition immeasurably and only take up just so much more of my time.

	Article of the Month, March 1999
		Recently, Gary Louie, a member of the science-fiction club I frequent, the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society (LASFS), died.
		In the wake of his passing, it became very important to a lot of people that something be done to honor his memory. A memorial service was immediately scheduled at the clubhouse, and a memorial web page was set up at the North American Science Fiction Convention website.
		Earl Ofari Hutchinson headlined "Jury's Verdict in Jasper was a Special Case". Hutchinson's piece damns the police and prosecutors of Jasper, TX with faint praise. Yes, their actions were commendable this time, but they were "clueless" over whether to call this a "hate crime".
