About The Circle of Janus

The Circle of Janus is the general Science Fiction & Fantasy Fan Club of the greater Indianapolis, Indiana area. We've been in existance since 1980, serving the local fan community by providing a gathering place for those with a common interest in Science Fiction & Fantasy. We meet on the first Saturday of every month (other than July and September). The meetings are open to the general public and everyone is welcome to attend.

Annual membership dues are $15 and can now be paid online. If you would prefer to pay by check or money order, you may send your membership dues to: COJ Memberships, P.O. Box 68514, Indianapolis, IN 46268-0514.

If you'd like to be added to our e-mail list, and receive monthly updates on club events, go to The COJ Newsletter List Server and add your e-mail address to our COJ Newsletter mailing list. Circle of Janus members are automagically added to the The COJ Members List Server which includes the newsletter mailings in addition to club member communications.

Upcoming Meeting

The next meeting of the Circle of Janus will be on Saturday, August 14th, 2010 at the Seventh & Eighth United Christian Church. Please refer to the Meeting Information page for additional details and a calendar of upcoming events.

Note: Due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict, the August 14th, 2010 meeting will be held at the Jesus Metropolitan Community Church, 2950 East 55th Place, Indianapolis, IN 46220 (about a third of a mile east of Keystone Avenue on East 55th Place). And, who knows, if we like this new location we might be moving here permanently. ;-)

Other Projects

One of the major projects of The Circle of Janus is the planning, sponsorship, and hosting of the annual InConJunction Science Fiction & Fantasy Convention. Held every year in July since 1981, InConJunction is fan-run, not-for-profit, SF&F convention with a strong focus on our literary roots.

InConJunction has something for everyone, with panels on writing, movies and television, comic books, artwork, science and technology, culture, fandom, entertainment and much more. At most times, there will be three or four panels going at the same time, giving you plenty of choices. If at any time you can't find a panel that interests you, we also have a dealers' room, art show, gaming room, and various special interest group rooms and tables, including a Doctor Who room and an Anime room. If none of that appeals, the con suite makes a great place to relax, meet people, and have some very interesting conversations. In the evenings, there's the dance, late night horror readings, midnight movies, and many attendees throw their own room parties.

If you're looking for a convention that offers you a lot more than the typical handful of panels, a dealers' room and autograph sessions, then InConJunction might be just what you're looking for.
