Julie reminded us that ‘Tapestry & Talent’ is this weekend and we should
attend it
It was also announced that there are fanzines - so take them
Reviews:
‘Brothers Grimm’ was reviewed as don’t take small kids to it; it was
visually stunning but had a muddled & disjointed plot; worth matinee
Julie reviewed the Rasselon meeting as the new episodes look interesting
but she doesn’t like the new Tardis design & worth seeing it when you
are able to so do
Dave C reviewed the Ultraman festival at the Castro Theatre - as he
learned way too many Ultraman fasts for his peace of mind & rates it as
worth full price
Mike couldn’t remember his review
Nathan reviewed the Santa Clara Toy Show as getting there early is a
must, there were lots of fannish goodies there - many of which he bought
& worth full price; Julie follow-on’d that she meant to go there but was
sucked into a computer surplus sale instead
Trey reviewed ‘Saint Vidicon to the Rescue’ as a book he read ‘so you
don’t have to’ & that it had some rough edges - worth library
Nathan admitted he likes the new Battlestar Galactica; Dierdre says it
is well-written & Rick also likes the writing
Dave C reviewed ‘Point of Honor’ by Madeleine Robbins as pretty good &
worth new pb
Rick reviewed Glasgow cuisine as wild & wonderful - especially if you
like everything fried & he survived eating haggis - it was worth every
pound
We auctioned off stuff = a Grinch musical stocking for $2.00 & a
calendar for $0.50
We adjourned at = 8:47 pm
And the rumor of the week was ‘that Chris Garcia will exact a terrible
revenge on himself for making his own enemy’s list for 2 weeks straight’
