Chris reviewed ‘Costumers Quarterly’ as a fine read & reviewed ‘Brokeback Mountain’ [‘that gay cowboy movie’] as there’s a lot of angry love in that movie, but it’s too long - is worth full price anyway Andy reviewed ‘Touch of Pink’ as chaos & hilarity ensue - charming - and worth buying at Dave’s dealer table at a convention Ed also reviewed a ‘Settlers of Catan’ expansion called ‘Cities & Knights’ as worth full price Then we auctioned off stuff = comics for $0.45; a bag for $1.20 & books for $1.65, $1.00, $0.75, $3.50 & $5.00 We adjourned at = 9:30 pm And the rumor of the week was = ‘You Klingon bastard - you killed my rumor!’ @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@# Meeting 807 January 9, 2006 Trey Haddad, President Nathan Slerm-r & Chris Garcia, Vice-President Dave Gallaher, Treasurer Galen Tripp, Sargent at Arms Barbara Johnson-Haddad, Secretary Began 8:03 22 people attended Secretary’s report: the minutes of meeting 806 were accepted as ‘you Klingon son - you killed my bastard’ Treasurer report was that last week we took in $31.34 in the regular jar & $36.20 in the party jar VP reports = no Nathan [week 11] & VP Chris reported ‘O so many things’ - there’s a new ‘Drink Tank’ out, & he has another film in this year’s Cinequest = ‘Last Woman on Earth’ which may be shown on March 8th We established a party jar The President said ‘hi’ to ‘Bob’ [no last name given] - who has followed our exploits for months but was here in RL for the 1st time We applauded Art, as webmaster, for having helped clear up the mailing list problems [along with Michael Wallis] No Committee reports Announcements Adrienne announced that she is on the LACon4 con committee for Writer’s Workshop Julie announced that a new group formed, ‘SOOT’ [Students Of Old Technology] & is meeting at Ardenwood Forge; best contact point is through the Airtight Garage Kevin S announced there are no print copies of ‘Emerald City’ this week Cheryl announced that the latest ‘Emerald City’ is online & she will be lurking in Europe for the next few months in the bitter cold [so think warm thoughts about her] Ed announced the BASFA FurCon party will be on Friday night Kevin R announced the FurCon League of Evil Genius party will also be on Friday night [next to the Suburban Jungle party] Frank Wu announced it is now Hugo nomination tine for LACon4 [until March 10] & it was suggested we do nominations on the first 3 Mondays in February Reviews: Joanie reviewed ‘Passage’ by Connie Willis as it is not a fast-paced, plot-driven novel, but she recommends buying it in paperback & she reviewed the spiral jetty as a harrowing ride to get there - use a sturdy vehicle - & it’s worth visiting I reviewed ‘Dhampir’, ‘Thief of Souls’ & ‘Sister of the Dead’ by the Hendees as I wanted to damage the protagonists as their stupidity grew worse throughout the books; to save your money & not buy these books, even for kindling.
