basfaMeeting 1082
April 25, 2011
Trey Haddad, President
Chris Garcia, Vice-President
Dave Gallaher, Treasurer
Galen Tripp, Sergeant at Arms
Barbara Johnson-Haddad, Secretary
held at Coco's, 1206 Oakmead Parkway (Lawrence Expressway/101 Fwy), Sunnyvale
Began at 8:00 pm - with much whooping
24 people attended
We established a party jar
The minutes for meeting 1081 were accepted as 'go go Godzilla!'
there was no Treasurer or Treasurer's report
The VP reported that there is a new 'Drink Tank' & the next 'Drink Tank' after that will be about 'Forbidden Planet' & he got nominated for a 'couple of Hugos' and MO also got nominated for a Hugo and for next Easter he will be the Fanzine GoH at MiniCon
The President had nothing fannish to report
The Sports Committee ninja reminds that the Giants outing will be real soon - Friday, May 6, at AT&T Park
A motion was made to establish a regular discussion time and the sense of the meeting was positive, so Chris and Bruce then formed the 'Discussion Committee'
Ken & Geri present bottles of wine to Chris and Mo to congratulate their Hugo nominations
Chris moved to have the 'space clam' named the BASFA club mascot, but this failed
Announcements:
Ed announced that he saw Michael Wallis at an ERPs meeting and that Wallis's mom has a Worldcon membership for sale
Howeird announced that May 7 is Trains Day & announced that tomorrow he is having a heart test done & positive thoughts will be appreciated & announced that he brought experimental pickles for tasting & auction
Ken announced that the Legion of Rasselon meeting will be this Friday at the usual place and time [7:30pm, 1st & Trimble]
Mike announced that there'll be a Doug Young guitar night at the Mission City Coffee Roasting Company in Santa Clara [2221 the Alameda] - on Sunday, May 1, 7-9pm for $5
Reviews:
Valerie reviewed the Pop Culture Association Conference as there were a lot of papers delivered there and it was a friendly gathering
[evil] Kevin reviewed the 1st new episode of this season's Dr Who as very dark and he recommends it & Andy follow-on's that [redacted] and others spoke a bit
Chris reviewed his own voice as worth full price & reviewed 'Scream 4' as it had some problems - like the script - but he liked the short skirts in it & reviewed a customer last Sunday as 'best customer EVAR' & reviewed re-watching 'Twi' stuff had him try to re-read 'Twi 3' and -stopped-, wondering 'the HELL?!' and made reading 'Breaking Dawn' the equivalent of Dostoevsky
Julie was left stunned by this but still managed to review her new toy - a bluray player with a Netflix package as definitely worth the price she paid for it
Andy reviewed a blog, 'Adventures with the Wife in time' - a couple blogging about watching the full Dr Who run as utterly brilliant, completely cracktacular & recommends following it
We did auctions: a book for $2.00; yummy pickles for $2.00; candy for $0.25, $0.25, $1.00 & $0.50
we adjourned at 9:38 pm
