basfaMeeting 1098
August 15, 2011
Trey Haddad, President
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 very 8-ish pm - from a different angle
21 people attended
we established a party jar
The minutes for meeting 1097 were accepted as 'ahem'
no Treasurer, but the proxy Treasurer report is that at meeting 1097 we took in $22.00 in the regular jar & $46.00 in the party jar
The VP was not here
The President had nothing fannish to report except that Renovation is this weekend
Announcements:
Jo announced that he resigned from his job and that come September he starts work for Tango & that his van is here tonight
Diane announced that she starts work tomorrow on a new job
Mo announced that she has a large truck that has room, so see her tonight if you'd like something carried to Reno
[evil] Kevin announced that Renovation is nearly here - that he & Andy are running the Masquerade and could use some ushers
Reviews:
Jo reviewed watching a lot of 'Torchwood' as he likes it, but there are some things he is having trouble with
Dann reviewed 'Cowboys vs Aliens' as gangs of fun - totally enjoyable; Mo follow-on'd that the aliens were cheesy and not believable, but she recommends it & Jo reviewed it as bothersome, if you can count
Diane reviewed books - 'A Boy and his Tank' by Leo Frankowski as she'd read more by him on the subject; reviewed Eric Flint & David Drake's 'An Oblique Approach' as enjoyable & John Ringo's 'Into the Looking Glass' as a fun read
Mo reviewed the library as fun because you can check out stuff for free & she saw 'Ghost Town' on DVD as enjoyable - a sweet story with a good ending
Ed reviewed a book by Charlie Stross, 'Rule 34' as a sf murder mystery and worth full price
Fred reviewed 'Among Others' by Jo Walton as an unusual genre - he could connect with part of it, but not connect with other parts but still recommends it - and he said Diane gives good shoulder rubs
We did auctions = a book for $0.50
we adjourned at 8:55 pm
Rumor of the Week: 'the shat in the hat came back'
