the Vice President reported an injustice – that he had a cheese-stick missing
its cheese – which was quickly remedied; then he stated that there was a new
'Drink Tank' out on efanzines.com, as well as a new 'Exhibition Hall' and 'I'm
fine, how are you?'
The President had nothing fannish to report
Announcements:
Glenn announced that this meeting is silent running, no sirens, no lights, then
mentioned events that will be happening months and months from now
Dave C announced that Disneyland will be closing Star Tours to rebuild it as
Star Tours 2 & announced that we are now down to having only 3 Bullwinkles
restaurants
Chris announced that someone died & also announced that the NASfic will be in
Raleigh, NC
Lisa announced that Big Harold was here [we cheered!] & announced that
California Xtreme is being held at the Hyatt July 17-18
Ken announced that the Dark Shadows con is this weekend, July 16-18 in Burbank
&
announced that this year on Sept 18 is Creature Feature Night 2
Carole announced that she won best presentation Journeyman costume at Westercon
& announced that she'll be a presentation judge at the Raleigh NASfic
Reviews:
Westercon was many times reviewed: Glenn has some room woes, he spent a lot of
time at the Westercon table & he thought Lisa handled the parties really well,
he had a good time; [tall] Kevin spent his time helping Kuma-bear with the
Tonopah bid – started to worry they might win – and then had adventures with
his
van; Carole noticed that many things were being done at the last minute at-con,
she thought the art show was small & the party rooms were tiny; Bill didn't
find
the programming very varied, thought the con was under-attended but still had a
good time; Lisa enjoyed the space programming & the 1 steampunk panel & she
enjoyed the hotel [and then had a Baycon flashback, oops] and they had a good
drive back; Andy thought it was a pretty weak con, with weak parties, some
panels were good and the function space was oddly allocated; Dave C was happy
in
the Dealer's room and noted the greying of fandom
Adrienne reviewed Paul McCartney as he can still pound it out & reviewed China
Meiville as lacking comma-sense
Julie reviewed a 'lost' Dr Who episode she viewed, Crusade, as interesting and
rather good and she's glad they managed to preserve old Doctor episodes
Dave C reviewed Disney's 'the world of color' as he saw it from the rear but it
was still wonderful & reviewed Glen Beck's book 'The Overton Window' as based
upon the reviews he read about it that it sounds pretty awful
Chris reviewed Crater Lake as very beautiful; reviewed 'Eclipse' as tolerable &
reviewed 'The Last Airbender' as she would rather watch 'Eclipse' 10 times
before seeing it again
Glenn reviewed Patricia McKillip's 'The Tower at Stony Wood' as there were
themes of disorientation in it, he liked it and thinks it's worth full price
we auctioned off Trey for his birthday for $7.00 to me; then birthday auctioned
off Dave G to Spring for $10; then auctioned off jigsaw puzzles for $2.00,
$0.25, $4.00; posters for $0.25; books for $0.25 & $3.00
We adjourned at = 9:54
And the rumor of the week was: 'please let it be blood'
