the VP had nothing fannish to report although his radio alter-ego celebrated Pie Day
the President had a fannish dilemma & asked how people were going to handle the release of 'Falcon & Winter Soldier', since he does not have streaming & he misses movie theatres & going out to eat - he is suffering a moment of angst - then there was discussion
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Howeird announced that Norton Juster, who wrote 'The Phantom Tollbooth', died last Monday at the age of 91
John O announced that Kaiser & several other medical group have sent out message to members that they are now eligible for vaccination & that Chris has been scheduled
Gerry announced that it is around the time to nominated for the Hugos & says that 'Pacific Storm' by Linda Nagata is worthy of a Hugo nomination
Yochanan announced that Rasputin Records is getting rid of all their book stock, so if you want books from them, go now
REVIEWS:
Lisa reviewed her problems with getting her 2nd vaccine shot & related her run-around & being sent thru much phone tag & consulting tag & is still trying to get the 2nd shot & she rated it as a major cluster-eff, Gerry followed, saying that he has also been facing similar difficulties with getting vaccinated
Yochanan reviewed 'Raya and the Last Dragon' as he saw it in an actual theatre & it was a cute movie, but he wouldn't pay to ever watch it again - a very Disney paint-by-number plot & the dragon was very disappointing, was more like 'my little pony' and was maybe worth paying matinee, once; & then reviewed an Amazon Prime show - 'Hunters' that he was disappointed by & cannot recommend it & reviewed a show on HBO Max called 'Raised by Wolves' and he is loving this show about androids trying to raise children & it's very interesting & he recommends it highly
Howeird reviewed VP Harris coming to Las Vegas & seeing students getting stabbed [with vaccination needles] on the Ides of March as it lacked Brutus-ality & reviewed the first part of 'Pacific Storm' by Linda Nagata as very compelling writing & he looks forward to reading the rest of the book
Gayle reviewed MarsCon as there were very interesting panels, on exploring Mars, on costuming & as regards space in the Biden era & she found the con-runners did not account for not every convention goer not already having a Google account & hopes she can go there live next year & Lisa also saw some of the panels on Zoom, but is still having technical difficulties
Todd reviewed an anime series on Hulu, 'Jobless Reincarnation' as pretty interesting & really well done & addictive
