[evil] Kevin announced that Subterranean Press has done a new edition of Hughart's Master Li 7 Number Ten Ox for $45 - check subterraneanpress.com

[tall] Kevin announced that he will be commuting a lot and repairs are continuing
Mo announced that she has new studio space
Diane announced that she is looking to move closer to SF & looking for a place to rent &/or roomates
We did lots of auctions
Reviews:
Dave G reviewed the Atomic Testing Museum in NV as full of interesting things & reviewed 'Evil Dead the Musical' as splashy, extra gory & highly recommended
Fred reviewed Burning Man as worth more than full price & reviewed the Tachyon Press 16th anniversary party as very nice
[tall] Kevin reviewed one downside of the new house as 'the commuters headed to Burning Man' & reviewed the Worldcon business meetings as successful & he's been doing a lot of driving
Diane reviewed the Miramar restaurant in Cypress Point off Hwy 1 as well worth full price
Rick reviewed DC's trashing their comics continuity and then the reissues as Fanboy Planet is reviewing them and he can only recommend 3 of the flood that he has seen so far [new Superman, Justice League & Batgirl] - and that with the enormous print runs issued that they are likely to not gain much in value
Dann reviewed enjoying doing cartooning class and that one of the best Mexican restaurants they've ever been to is right near the studio = 869 S First St, SJ, 'the 5 Spot' - huge meals, low prices and absolute heaven
Ed reviewed 5 books by Michael Z Williams - all set in the same space opera universe - as highly recommended - especially 'Contact with Chaos' & also reviewed 'Contagion' as excellent and boring and worth matinee
[evil] Kevin reviewed the Best Buck in the Bay as as small but fun - the buckles were shiny! - he & Andy did goat dressing and the goat squirmed a lot & they had a good time; Andy follow-on'd that the daytime events were lightly attended & the night time events were much more heavily attended & they had faux animal rights protests for an hour [who wore leather] & also reviewed that they had breakfast at Cafe Flore which has amazing roast potatoes - had dinner at Barracuda Sushi and had really good, reasonably-priced sushi [drooling now] & then had breakfast at Criolla Kitchen as 'OMG soul food Louisiana!!' - that they do chicken & waffles and duck gizzards & waffles - it was divine and absolutely, definitely worth full price
Brad reviewed visiting the LASFS club house as it had very nice facilities
we adjourned at 9:50 pm
Rumor of the Week: 'goat dressing - it's not just for dinner anymore'
