basfaMinutes of Meeting #1484
Monday, January 21, 2019
Trey Haddad, President
Ken Patterson, Vice President
Dave Gallaher, Treasurer
Galen Tripp & Laser Pistol Packin’ Mama, Sergeants at Arms
Barbara Johnson-Haddad, Secretary
held at the Black Bear Diner, Milpitas
Called to order at 8 pm
21 people attended
we established a party jar
The minutes of meeting 1483 were accepted as 're-sequenced'
the Treasurer reported that last week we took in $5.25 in the regular jar & $29.75 in the party jar
the VP had nothing fannish to report
the President reported that last week someone [none of the officers] told the Black Bear Diner folk that we would not hold a meeting on the 21st, so they were surprised when we showed up - but they adapted magnificently - so we would like to know who did this & why
In addition to this, Debbie wanted to know how we would handle the BASFA Hugo nomination nights this year - so Dave G said he will talk to [tall] Kevin & that we will use the next three meetings - Jan 28, Feb 4 & Feb 11 for nominations - so there will be no BASFA auctions those nights
And we also said 'hi' to VJ - visiting us for the first time
The Sports Committee subset reported that the SJ Giants that there are 2 good BASFA outing dates - Star Wars night on May 4 - and Harry Potter night on June 15 - from those present there was some interest in both - but much more for Star Wars night
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Dave C announced that he believes he had an apology for the club in that the Disney sweaters were INDEED ugly sweaters
Ken announced that this Friday is the Legion of Rassilon meeting; 7:30 pm at the Denny’s on Bascom in Campbell, near the Pruneyard on Bascom
Dave G announced that 'Legopolis' is opening in theaters & check Fathom events for details

Fred announced that this Friday, Jan 25 there will be a grand reopening of public domain at the Internet Archives in SF [300 Funston Ave], 1pm till 7:30pm & demos starting at 10am
JC announced that Baycon 2019 is coming & he will be the Toastmaster & MC the Masquerade Variety Show- held at the San Mateo Marriot over Memorial Day weekend & the first staff meeting is thus Sunday
REVIEWS:
Randy reviewed 'Paradise Square' in Berkeley as a marvelous musical
Gayle reviewed the Met Opera, Live in HD at the Century 20, Oakridge mall as the music was excellent, but there were some technical difficulties
Lisa reviewed FurCon as it was the usual silly stuff & she enjoyed the mostly science panels she attended - but was concerned at the lack of any kind of books or fursuits available in the Dealers Room - but other than that, she had fun
Ric reviewed the 1st episode of this season of 'Star Trek Discovery' as exciting, he likes the updated costumes, thought the special fx were excellent, as was the writing & enjoyed it highly
Fred reviewed a short story - Rebecca Gomez Farrell's 'Mixed Signals on Learning How to Speak' as well-written, he enjoyed it & recommends it
we did auctions
we adjourned at 9:10
Rumor of the week was 'the rumors of out absense were greatly exaggerated'
