There was a report TO the Website Committee that the BASFA website 'about us' tab still directs people to the now-extinct Coco's - so this needs to be fixed [and on a related note we all said 'Happy Birthday!' to [tall] Kevin & requests he make the fix
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Andy announced that there's a convention coming up but that they are now DONE with Worldcon 76 [there was cheering]
REVIEWS:
Worldcon 76 was reviewed exhaustively as a huge success & it gave Spider Robinson an energy 'power-up'
Adrienne review Texas Roadhouse in Union City as cool, then saw 'And Man & the Wasp' as forgettable & not one of her favorite Marvel movies, worth matinee
the secretary reviewed 'The Meg' as a fun, brainless 'shark eating people with elements of humor' popcorn movie, not a waste of time spent watching, worth matinee & Trey agreed that it was fun, worth matinee, but that it had plot holes that the Marianas Trench could be hidden within
Chris O reviewed 'Mamma Mia 2' as she had fun seeing it
JC reviewed the Pride Festival weekend as lovely, with good people there & that he enjoyed Worldcon & was told that the work he did there would make him eligible for a Worldcon nomination for next year
