Unfortunately, I attended the Public Participation Hearing about the proposed
33%+ hike in water rates by the San Jose Water Company last night, so I never
got to hear Chris's Denny's review.
FWIW, I thought I'd pass this URL along to see if his comments might match:

...It still hasn't gotten weird enough for me.

Began 8-ish [and not yet buying a new PSP]
19 people attended
we established a party jar
Secretary’s report: we accepted the minutes of meeting 983 as 'otters and
lemures and squirrels, o my!'
no Treasurer - but the proxie Treasurer report was that last week we took in
$5.75 in the regular jar and a total of $8.00 in the party jar - which included
the proceeds from the Baycon BASFA party
the Vice president reported that there is new new 'Drink Tank' 'cause he lost
all his art - then Mo came to the rescue and Chris said, 'Nevermind'.
The President had nothing fannish to report
Announcements:
Dave C announced that RoboGames are coming to Fort Mason this weekend
Mo announced that Silicon will have a garage sale at the end of June & they're
looking for donations
[evil] Kevin announced that Outpost Gallifrey will be closing down July 31 -
but the con will continue
Glenn announced that Westercon 62 will be in Tempe, AZ in July
Chris announced that on Saturday the Silicon Valley Roller Girls will be at the
SJ civic auditorium
Reviews:
I reviewed Reno as the drive was pleasant, the Peppermill has been remodelled
- very much for the better - the food was nice and I had a good time
Andy reviewed the Capital Crossroad High Sierra Stampede as scandal-icious, the
drive was OK, the hotel was interesting in a partly-remodelled way - and the
events and competitors were all impressive - and [evil] Kevin follow-on'd that
it was exciting
Chris reviewed his weekend as surreal - reviewed 'The Hangover' as it made him
question his entire life because it was THAT funny and mind-blowingly awesome;
reviewed 'Night at the Museum 2' as funny-ish; that 'Dance Flick' was crap; his
visit to Denny's was loud - reviewed a documentary = 'Helvetica' as boring,
like watching a laser printer ... turned off & reviewed 'YPF' as entertaining
Carole reviewed Maker Faire as she had a great time and rode the electric
giraffe; reviewed 'Wolverine' as Hugh Jackman eye-candy & Bill follow-on'd that
the Midway lines were -way- too long
Dave C reviewed the New York Book Expo America as smaller than usual and it was
possible to see everything there; reviewed the '39 Steps' as 4 actors played
all the parts and was worth almost full price; reviewed 'Coraline the Musical'
as he wanted to like it but could not recommend this musical
Lida reviewed 'Up' as she enjoyed it, loved the ending and it was gorgeous
we did auctions: a T-shirt sold for $10.00; a radio for $1.00; hair stuff for
$0.50 and a bag for $3.00
We adjourned at = 9:31 pm
And the rumor of the week was: 'Big trouble for Moose and ... Oooo! Squirrels!'
