Gordon Went to MileHiCon 50. 1200 in attendance. All previous guests were invited back (at least 23 of them came). Opening ceremony was a red carpet. They did a GOH Pechakucha. Lot of fun. Worth full price. milehicon.org
Gayle Visited the Island of Kauai. Never been before. Went to monuments and remains (some found, and others not). If you’ve not been, you should go.
Gerold: Keoki’s paradise bar, tiki bar in its native habitat (keokisparadise.com). Launch rail at the Pacific Missile Range is there for solid rocket launches. Has not successfully launched a satellite yet…
Vikas Read The Gene, an Intimate History by Siddhartha Mukherjee. Details genetics. From Greek and Egyptian concepts to Darwin to DNA, human genome project and modifications. Comprehensive. Recommends.
Lisa Doctor Who: Rosa. Excellent. Deals with Rosa Parks. Interesting and poignant way of doing the story. See it!
DaveG: Good to see a historical this early.
Ken: Made Jerry uncomfortable for all the the right reasons.
Beth 2 weeks ago on Wednesday, it was her and JC’s 8th anniversary. Went to Candytopia in SF (candytopia.com). Delightful candy filled experience. Candy to eat, slides and swings and other things to experience - especially the marshmallow ball pit. Candy made art (don’t lick!)
Then Thursday morning got up at 4:30 am and drove to Annaheim. Swung by CalPoly Pamona to see Kaitlyn.
Friday went to Disneyland in the day, and Universal in the evening for their Halloween. Mazes based on horror films. It rained while there, with lightning. Lot of fun.
JC: Disneyland - Bugs Life are of California Adventure is cordoned off with Stark industries signs.
This past Friday saw A Star Is Born. Bring tissues. Wonderful performances.
JC: Takes you in unexpected directions. Full price.
Gerald CampbellCon. A mini-comic-con put on at West Valley College in Saratoga. One building/One day. Not a great success for his personal sales, despite a great number of people. May not go next year. campbellcon.com
Lisa: was there as well. Oktoberfest is why they had to move from Campbell this year. Like to go to see what the young comic artists are doing, and pick up some fannish things. Saw Jon Campling - one of the Death Eaters from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - there. Fun. Bigger room than in Campbell. More of a mini-BigWow.
Gayle: Took a turn around the dealers and was impressed with the art work.
We had an auction
Meeting adjourned at: 20:52 and the rumor was: Meeting 1473 was a riot.
