New Business A small survey of the membership was taken regarding likely attendance on the last two Mondays of the year. Those meetings are on Christmas and New Year’s eves. Of the seventeen people in attendance, 6 people indicated that they are likely to attend on December 24, and none of those in attendance indicated that they are likely to attend on December 31.
We will need to let the management know that while we don’t plan to cancel our meetings, we are likely to have attendance of low to none over those two weeks.
Announcements

Atheus Had been looking for a good swimming place, that fit his hours, and found the Milpitas Star Aquatic Center. $40 per month and open to 11 p.m. They have a lap pool and a small family pool, which are actually kept warm - not merely not-cold. Day passes are available. Worth full price, especially as it’s five-minutes from home. msta-swim.com
Lisa Went to the 3Below’s Beauty and the Beast Sing-along. Had lots of fun. Shannon had a tiara and a suit with bells on. Cute animated sing-along icons that matched the lyrics. This was the live action version, which has songs from the stage version that weren’t in the otiginal animated film. Check out their site 3belowtheaters.com for upcoming shows (including Who’s Holiday, which several BASFAns will be attending on Friday, December 14.)
DaveC Read Unsympathetic Magic by Laura Resnick. It’s the third Esther Diamond Novel. Got bogged down with an 80 page info dump in the middle. The editor obviously wasn’t doing their job. Didn’t finish it, but will go on to the next in the series.
Ken Saw Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald on Thursday. Wasn’t really whelmed by it. A bit like Empire Strikes Back, in that it sets up the rest of the series, but unlike Empire it wasn’t as exciting. Not worth the price of IMAX (though it did look good in IMAX…)
Carole: A friend gave it a C-
DaveG: Better than C-. Saw it at a real IMAX theatre. It moved slowly. Thought it was worth IMAX.
We had an auction
Meeting adjourned at: 21:02, and the rumor was: Jerry shot first
