the VP had nothing fannish to report
the President had nothing fannish to report
The Relocation Committee sees no reason to hurry to find a new meeting place, but recommends that if you go out to a place that has a meeting room, please find out the details of how we might meet there, to see if it would be practicable to meet there, once in-person meetings are a thing again. The biggest issue that a place has is a need to have reliable internet
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Rick announced that blood banks need blood, so donate
Dave announced that Ron Goulart died last Friday at age 89
Gayle announced that her vein ablation surgery went well
REVIEWS:
Yochanan reviewed 'Matrix Resurrections' as he liked it - it wasn't great, but it was fun & had some interesting scenes & was very self-referential & worth matinee & possibly worth full price. He also reviewed a show called 'Mother/Android' on Hulu as he wanted to like it but that there are way too many plot holes in it & it was tremendously unclear what was happening; not worth watching. He also reviewed an anime movie called 'Poupelle of Chimney Town' as delightful & absurd & original & he really, really enjoyed it - worth full price - for info check = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poupelle_of_Chimney_Town_(film)
Gerry reviewed the underwater volcanic eruption at Tonga as a major event & the eruption could be heard out to Alaska - and this inspired some discussion
Craig reviewed that they finished watching 'The Expanse' as it's one of the best things he's seen in a long time & it was an amazing production; Yochanan followed saying that he really liked the way the series handled a character death when the actor was written out of the plot; Rick thinks the series ended well
Lisa reviewed today as utterly crappy. She damaged the wheel of her car - on top of having a flat tire & damaged her phone's screen protector, definitely not worth full price
Rick reviewed a 1-season science-fiction show from Finland & Sweden, 'White Wall', as angst-ridden, 8-episodes & pretty good & worth seeking out on HBO Max
"A mysterious white wall made of unknown material is found deep underground at the mining site of the world's largest nuclear waste depository."
we adjourned at 8:25 pm
and the rumor of the week = 'The 49ers will have the chance to lose to the Rams next week'
