It was not his cup of tea. Dave C follow-on’d that he was stuck behind a dealer’s table for WHC and ‘god it was slow’, that the art show was small but interesting [someone else commented about ‘dead zombie kittens with wings’] - but that the parties were good; Cheryl follow-on’d that she didn’t actually notice a convention going on, but that a lot of her friends were at WHC and that there were a lot of teensy tiny small presses represented in the dealer’s room Ed reviewed Charlie Stross’s ‘Singularity Sky’ as he really enjoyed it and it was worth full price Fred reviewed the Singularity Summit in Stanford as he had a great time there - it was packed [more than 1000 attended] and he saw the hole in Heyward that shows the fault and recommends visiting it before they fill it in We auctioned off stuff, birthday auctioned off Dave G to Spring for $40.00; the 27” TV for $30.00; then books for = "" $3.00; then AFTER it was determined that whoever paid less for the next 2 books would get the video of “Phenomena’ [do doo de do doo] they went for $13.50 & $15.00 [so Chris got the flick] We adjourned at = 9:37 pm And the rumor of the week was = ‘That Dave appears to be worth more than the TV’ |
