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 8:02 pm with Valentines
16 people attended
We birthday auctioned off Joni for $6.00 to Jo
We established a SFF Translation awards jar
The minutes of meeting 1124 were accepted as 'almost commentary free'
the Treasurer proxy report was that at meeting 1124 we took in $6.00 in the regular jar & $18.00 in the party jar
The VP ... scarpered
The President had nothing fannish to report
[tall] Kevin displayed the 16 page collated Hugo nomination report
Announcements:
Fred announced that there's a con coming up - Potlatch 21 in Seattle at the Best Western this weekend, Feb 24-26
Bradford announced that he had a positive review of his book on Amazon.com [from Chuck]
Reviews:
Jo reviewed a big pistol-gripped LED 1000 lumen flashlight from the Stanley 2M series that cost $23.00 - as very bright & directional and worth more than full price
Diane reviewed 'Wasteland of Flint' by Thomas Harland as a good, interesting read
Fred reviewed 'Fire on the Mountain' by Terry Bisson as interesting alternate world sf
Howeird reviewed subscribing to Amazon's prime 2nd day shipping [$70/year] as it has some interesting perks to go along with it & is maybe worth full price
I reviewed a Youtube filk of Howeird singing a Frank Hayes song = 'When I was a Boy' a pretty darned good
Joni reviewed the Vampire Diary series as 'she recommends flee'
We did auctions
we adjourned at 8:40 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'Newt Gingrich now regrets he did not try to buy a Hugo voting block'
