Meeting number 946 convened at 2004 hours.
There were no officers at the start of the meeting. Eric took on the
role of president and Glenn slapped down $2 saying Fred should be
president, but a consortium including Fred outbid him to $6.
Fred moved for a party jar and the motion passed.
The minutes of last week's meeting were read by Andy reading from his
cellphone. By this point the VP had shown up, ordered food and took
over for Eric.
Corrections to previous minutes:
Stellen noted that the correct title of the book is _Anathem_
The minutes were accepted as "according to Dread Pirate Robert's Rules
of Order".
VP Report: new SFinSF.
Party report: come to Silicon. Ed is now working on the road, so
Stellen has been made Party 2nd to help cover.
Announcements:
- Glenn announced ("Arrr!) International Talk Like a Pirate Day on
the 19th.
- Andy moved that the 20th become "Be Silent Like a Ninja Day",
which passed.
- Dave C said that Book Group Expo is coming up and he won't have a
table due to strange management policies
- Lisa said that Harold is better, but will need another kidney
operation

- Julie announced the Printed Circuit Board Conference the next day
- Harold announced that Richard Wright, of Pink Floyd, had passed

- Dave C announced that Neil Gaiman will be in town the 1st weekend

- Speaking of which, Silicon: 10/4 to 10/7
SiliCon is October 3 - 5, 2008.
- Chris: TNH had a heart attack
Reviews:
- Evil Kevin reviewed Bal the Storm God as not worth cable, there
were a number of follow-ons

That's Carole, with the final "e" please. The con is ConChord.

Until later--
Carole
