held at the Black Bear Diner
Began at 8pm - with sub-par pies
29 people attended

The minutes of meeting 1395 were accepted as 'multi-tasking done well'

The Vice President reported that he is happily eating his dinner
The President warned that he & the secretary won't be at meeting 1397 & we said 'hi' to Lauren & Michael, visiting us for the first time & who are on our Facebook page
The Party Committee reports the next BASFA party will be at Baycon, Saturday
Announcements:
John O announced that he will host the Worldcon in SJ party on Friday at Baycon
Gerry announced that a copy of his new book is on the auction table
Dave G announced that Worldcon 75 begins in 100 days
[evil] Kevin announced that he has 106 days & is currently looking for heads of Marketing & Operations for Worldcon 76, so that he can focus on other matters he needs to get done
Reviews:
I reviewed our trip to Reno as I recommend the Peppermill, they have decent restaurants, nice rooms at $80 a night [weekdays] & much more economical to visit than anywhere around her when we have to be out of the house for 3 days; Trey followed that the spa there is lovely & very pleasant; Adrienne said that she would be there this weekend and it's her 3rd trip to the spa
[evil] Kevin reviewed reading the 'Expanse' series as he liked it enough to buy books 3 thru 6 & recommends them - they remind him of Cherryh's Merchanter series
John O reviewed running the Worldcon 76 fan table at Silicon Valley Comic Con as it was set way off and away, but still had good foot traffic & Chris O thought it was much better handled than last year & John O then reviewed the new season of Dr Who as very good
Dave C reviewed 'Colossal' as being odd & fun & worth seeing
Gerry reviewed the Space X rocket launch and landing as there was really good pictorial coverage
Gayle reviewed the SF Ballet's production of 'Cinderella' as very well done, with wonderful puppeting
Michael reviewed Adrienne's cupcakes as they tasted amazing & the orange ones were also wonderful
We did auctions
We adjourned at 9:38 pm
And the rumor of the week was 'Time travelling minutes'
