Galen Tripp, Sergeant at Arms
Barbara Johnson-Haddad, Secretary
held at Coco's, 1206 Oakmead Parkway (Lawrence Expressway/101 Fwy), Sunnyvale
Began after 8 - with those of us NOT watching 'Spiderman'
We established a party jar
22 people attended
The minutes of meeting 1143 were accepted as 'excessively abbreviated'
the Treasurer reported that last week we took in $12.48 in the regular jar and $39.75 in the party jar
The VP tried to see 'Spiderman' but he was one of the 700 turned away - and reported that there's a new issue of 'Drink Tank' out ... he thinks ... & a new 'Journey Planet' out 'soon' because he has the files for it on him now
The President had nothing fannish to report
The AdHoc Cinema Committee's mouthpiece reports that there'll be a 'quote-a-long' at the Retrodome for 'Young Frankenstein' this weekend ... & costumes are encouraged
Announcements:
Howeird announced that on July 4th there'll be various things at Shoup park in Los Altos - including music provided by Ye Olde Town Band
Dave C announced that Dr Who has a plan to conquer America & that the June 2012 Cargo Cult catalog is now out
Valerie announced that she has published a new book - 'The Free Guide to Self Publishing & Book Promotion'
Mo announced that since the week is ultra-busy there will not be a 'Free 1st Friday' in San Jose & reminded us to PAY for our food
Andy announced that the Summer Swedish outdoor season has begun - view on tv4play.se & svtplay.se - it's fun & wacky & announced that at Westercon their party suite [room #1363 = [evil] Kevin] will have parties Friday & Saturday & announced that he finished 'Leviathan Wakes' so he can do the review for Chris
Reviews:
Ken reviewed his gratduation as he was under-reported & it was probably still worth full price & the party the next day was fun - Mo agreed
Harold reviewed a fight as 2 judges got it right & reviewed John Scalzi's 'Redshirts' as a quick & easy read - worth ebook price - with the codas being the best parts of the book & he also reviewed the 'Cracked' website & its parody of 'Game of Thrones' as it got him to see the series & is somewhat seductive
Chris 'Brave' as a fun movie that he's 'bearish' about - it was pretty, he saw it twice & liked the preview - & was worth the 4 gift certificates he used - then there were neeps about 3D
we did auctions
we adjourned at 9:06 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'If the moon is cheese, then Jupiter is bacon'
