Began at 8:04 pm - because time passes
24 people attended
We established a party jar
The minutes for meeting 1080 were accepted as 'how he got in my bra I'll never know'
the Treasurer reported that at meeting 1079 we took in $4.28 in the regular jar & $11.84 in the party jar; while at meeting 1080 we took in $5.01 in the regular jar & $15.50 in the party jar
The VP reported, “Hello!” and there is a new AND a newer 'Drink Tank' out - numbers 273 and 278
The President had nothing fannish to report - and we said 'hi' to Bruce Amberden - who works in tech and is not into the sf con scene - yet
The Sports Committee reported that 'Star Wars Night' at the Giants will be Sept 4th - and that there is still a waiting list for the current outing
Announcements:
Adrienne announced that the Hugos received 1006 nomination ballots - the most EVAR - and the nominees will be announced on Easter
John O announced that he's made reservations for a combined 50th birthday celebration at Quarry Lake in Fremont
Ken announced that the Legion of Rasselon meeting will be postponed to the 5th Friday in April this month
Mike announced that there's a Magical Mystery Tour - a tribute to the Beatles - on Saturday April 23, 8-10pm for $10 at the Mission City Coffee Raosting Company in Santa Clara [2221 the Alameda] - and recommends 'be there early'
[evil] Kevin announced that there's a new issue of 'Yipe' out
Reviews:
[evil] Kevin reviewed going home to help his mom out with his dad as there was a lot of problem solving done and his dad's prognosis looks good - worth full price
Adrienne reviewed 'Magic in the Blood' by Devon Monk as pretty good & recommended
Howeird reviewed the 9th Annual World Affairs Challenge - themed for 'feeding the world' as it was the best one so far - with lots of smart & clever kids - contact him if you'd like to volunteer & he reviewed making pickles as a learning experience
Ed reviewed 'Macarthur's War' by Michael Dobson as a well-written alternate history, worth paperback
Chris reviewed 'JarJar Binks must Die' by Kimmel as the 2nd best book of film essays he's ever read & highly recommends it; reviewed the people at 'Orbit' as weird; reviewed 'Almost Final Curtain' by Tate Halloway as a supernatural romance - that was absolutely horrible but not completely terrible; he reviewed his new apartment as 'pretty', reviewed the soundtrack CD to 'CQ' as rocking & really good - plus he got stickers - & reviewed hot oil dumplings at '456' as he was transformed again - into someone who has eaten the best dumplings EVAR! - he recommends the sauce then be poured over the beef chow fun; [evil] Kevin follow-on'd with dumpling love
I reviewed seeing the movie 'Hanna' as pretty good but not unalloyed gold - good acting but a bit light on stated plot - and worth matinee
Mo reviewed the 'Disney Family Museum' [visited while suffering from allergies] as the displays were beautiful and it was worth full price
We did auctions: cat toys & a bag for $2.50; fannish stuff for $3.50; books for $0.25, $1.00, $1.50; fonts for $0.25, magazines for $2.50; Halo stuff for $3.00 & a food processor for $1.50
