2006 Meeting number fill in the blank began. (987) Some number of people were present and we lacked Pres, VP, Secretary and Treasurer. The Treasurer showed up eventually, not sure when. 2007 Fred moved for a party jar, passed 7-2 2009 Move to accept minutes as pubbed on the internet as “Billie Jean is not Rod Serling” “In memory of Gale Storm” “Billie Jean is not Gale Storm” “Bille Jean is not my lover” “That’s not Jermaine.” (winner) 2016 Announcements 2016 Lisa Hayes presented Kevin and Andy with a bottle Nehalem Bay Blackberry Wine. 2018 Mo had no announcement 2018 Dave Clark: Billy Mays died at 50. 2020 Glenn: Westercon 62 in Tempe, AZ this weekend 2021 Adrienne: Torchwood series in toto on BBC America starting July 20. // Norcal Paracon tickets are on 25% discount until June 30th. // Bay Area Ghosthunters having a post-con brunch at Tarpys Roadhouse in Monterey. 2023 Howeird announced NASA Moonfest on July 19th, noon to six at Moffett Field. 2024 Dave Clark announced that Hilo Hattie declared bankruptcy. 2025 Ken announced that he is becoming a student again.
2026 Dave gave a treasurers report. Total: $11,100.25, party total $973.92, taff: $272.74, duff: $5.51. Reviews: 2028 Andy: went shopping for costume bits, saw a Danish film called “The Substitute” - SF/Horror. Creepy little SF, teens behaving like teens, stellar, dark and has chickens. Worth someone else’s Netflix subscription. Subtitles bad, but funny. 2033 Ken: Woke up early to help out with the first ever US women’s cricket tournament. Seattle insisted on using a hard tennis ball instead of a proper cricket ball. Many puns about “That’s not..” and the nature of balls and a great deal cricket blathering. 2043 Mo: Cooked a huge pot o’ chili, put it in the fridge and then the fridge died. Silicon garage sail a success. Dry ice useful in non-working fridge. Read a book about Fordlandia in the Amazon. Ended up a disaster. Mostly about Ford’s social/community philosophy. Worth full price. Evil Kevin described the food riots over cafeteria style food. 2053 Evil Kevin: heads-up display visor, nicely engineered. MyVu Crystal. Excellent return service. Would work well for stereo vision. 2056 Glenn: reviewed “Mathematicians in Love” by Rudy Rucker. Worth trade paperback. 2059 Dave G: Spamalot: full version with spam. Not the Vegas abridged version. Worth full price. Chorus of spam followed on. 2101 Howeird: Got a copy of Gypsy Rose Lee’s “G-String Murders”, good up until too many plot twists at the end. Worth one penny for the book and $3 for shipping. 2104 Glenn: diamond grilling steak with blue cheese butter topping. 2107 Auctions: “G-String Murders” for $2.00, Asimov’s for 25 cents, magazines for 25 cents, art magazines for 25 cents, an Omni for & astronomy bookmark for 25 cents, assorted magazine bits for 25 cents, Mexican mask for 50 cents, Cheeze-its Star Trek T-shirt box for 25 cents, Lisa Hayes for $5 to Tall Kevin, Dave G. for $10 to Spring, Spring for $10 to Dave G. 2130 Rumors: “You haven’t heard the last from me!

If these or any other rumors happen, we’ll tell you all about it next week on “Waiter! Waiter! Don’t pelt me!” 2141 Adjournment.
