Rick announced that the city of Redwood City has a working commercial port & has 'Redwood City Port Fest' this weekend, for details see = https://www.redwoodcityport.com/
Gerry announced that 'We are headed for Minnesota and will probably miss the next meeting. Have fun.'
Reviews:
Yochanan reviewed 'Space Woman', shown at 3Below, a documentary about Eileen Collins, as he enjoyed it very much & found it exciting. He highly recommends & rates it as worth full price

and Yochanan also reviewed this season of 'Murderbot' on Apple Plus [the only season, so far], enjoying the dark humor and acting. He has also read the books and loved them all, consuming them like chips and wanting more. He loves the books and rates the series as A++. Rick was amazed at how good the adaptation was and found it spectacular.

and Yochanan reviewed 'The Long Walk' as 'it wasn't bad, but...' & thought it was just okay
see = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Walk_(2025_film)
Rick reviewed the first season of 'Alien: Earth' on FX as it has a capable cast and he found the series 'interesting'. He says it suffers from 'stupid plot syndrome' and recommends that you stop watching it after episode 5, not caring for the last 3 of 8 episodes

Craig commented that he likes small regional conventions and reviewed ArmadilloCon in Texas as he found it to be quite wonderful. He had a great time there. Comment = Armadillocon is in Austin. https://armadillocon.org/d47/ Worth going just to see the bats. Craig also plans to attend Orycon and is sad that it will be the last one.

and the rumor of the week was = 'BASFAns will star in 'Sanctuary Moon'
