2023 Reviews
Fred: "Clockwork Orange" play at Hoover Theatre in SJ
highly recommended.
Tall Kevin: Instant Message available for those that
want to look at it
Howeird: "Doubt" has lots of talent, skimpy everything
else. Worth matinée.
Lisa: Went to Further Confusion, had a good time and
lots of follow-ons:
Stellen: BASFA party used up all the booze and had
some females for once.
Glenn: Sat behind the Westercon table, liked falconry
at a furcon, lots of sameness
Tall Kevin: Took video of parade, see his LJ. Met
Bill Holbrook.
Chris: had a blast, hotel had problems: bad bacon and
lousy in-house video feed
Mo: Liked Kevin's videos, 533 in parade. Liked
technical discussions by fursuiters.
Lex:
Performers are attracted to kids because of the
500:1 ratio.
Probably another 25% in non-fur costumes, probably
1000 all told.
Mentioned that they had a video introducing the
Fairmont for next year.
2048 Stellen: chipotle chicken at Coco's is breathtaking
Mike: "Outlander" is a new monster movie that set a
bargain matinée bar and met it.
Tall Kevin: Reviewed the imminent collapse of the NESFA
clubhouse told in IM.
Lisa:
Went to Disneyworld. A lot bigger than Disneyland.
Hotel is so large it has an internal transit system.
Recommends getting reservations for dinner if you
don't want junk food.
Some of the same rides as in Anaheim (Haunted
Mansion, Pirates, etc.) not as good.
<This was followed by a long discussion on ghosts and
hauntings, not recorded>
Howeird: Next Monday is Groundhog Day (again)
Tall Kevin: Continuing the Hugo discussion next week.
Chris: DT is the third longest continuing fanzine.
Stellen: Amazon started shipping "The Sharing Knife:
Horizon" today.
2122 The rumor of the week is that none have been submitted.
2125 Adjourned.
Best,
Glenn
