I also announced that a North American version of Being Human is being produced
in Canada. I shudder at the thought of how that will be handled.
I had also meant to mention that there are still a few spots available for the
Haunted Melbourne Ghost Walk on Thursday evening at Aussiecon 4. For more
details, please go to:

You'll have to join BAGH to rsvp, but there is no additional fee to do that.

Secretary’s report: the minutes from meeting 1045 were accepted as 'thanks to

Treasurer report was that last week we took in $2.53 in the regular jar & $3.25
in the party jar
the Vice President reported that 'there are things happening that you would not
– could not – understand'
The President had nothing fannish to report
Speaking of BASFA meetings at Worldcon & beyond – [tall] Kevin moved to direct
the Treasurer to convene BASFA meeting #1047 in Wellington as the Oriental Bay

Bay
meeting #xxxx – and this motion passed
Dave C reported that there will soon be more BASFA members in Melbourne than

Then we did auctions – a magazine for $0.25
The rumor of the week was: 'You don't need to spend money to get hold of Mo's
can'
Reviews:
Andy reviewed a Danish film, 'Adam's Apples' as completely and utterly deranged
– easily worth Netflix & reviewed 'The Adventures of Picasso' as bizarre
madness, see it when drunk and also worth Netflix; then Chris follow-on'd for
'Adam's Apples' that it's dark and he laughed at it
Glenn reviewed 'Fuck Me Ray Bradbury' as school girl fantasy stuff, funny & he
recommends it & reviewed a Chinese food place on Castro in MV as the food was
awful and the service was worse; reviewed a McKillip bood – 'The Throme of the
Erril of Sherrill' as YA, a fast read with an interesting ending; reviewed 4
days spent in Yosemite as beautiful and he had a great time
Chris reviewed 'Clementine' by Cherie Priest as good but it suffered from evil
white guy syndrome
Dave C reviewed 'Don of the Dead' by Casey Daniels as the main plot actually
finished and it's worth full price & recommends the live action Youtube trailer
for Dora the Explorer
Adrienne reviewed getting a pedicure as wonderful and she even got her toes done
Josh reviewed 'Star Wars Revisited' as this is what the special edition should
have been
Lisa reviewed visiting Disneyland as they stayed at the Disney hotel – and
recommends avoiding the Wonder tower since they are remodelling & that World of
Color is wonderful
We adjourned at = 9:07 pm – in memory of DisneyCon, the happiest con on Earth
