Also, just FYI, it is "Miéville".
Best,
Glenn

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
<http://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'
