BASFA Meeting #1378; 26 December, 2016 BASFA Meeting #1378
Called to order at 20:00 with 21 people attending, and a Santa-chu. The minutes were performed by the Dave Clark 5, with a prime rib interruption. They were accepted as "The Accepted Minutes Have Died." The Treasurer was absent, but it is presumed that we have money. The VP continues to have nothing fannish to report. The President was absent, but probably also has nothing fannish to report. No committees were willing to rise. No one brought up any new business. Announcements: JC said that Episode 51 of the Nerdvana Podcast, part 3 is out and part 4 is coming soon. Also that their artificial tree has been killed by Tempest and Harley. Moose announced that the Zeldathon is tomorrow. The event has raised over a million over the years, and this one has already raised $7000. More info at Zeldathon.net Steven Nelson's SciFiSciFiSciFi (SciFiSciFiSciFi.libsyn.com) podcast is discussing Central Station by Lavie Tidhar this week. Next week they will discuss Consider Phlebas by Iain L. Banks. Dave Clark was looking for the salt, and that Last Gasp of San Francisco is ceasing their distribution business. Their publishing business remains. Adrienne announced that George Michael dies last night. Following mentioned that 2016 tried, but failed to get Carrie Fisher - but took the guitarist from Status Quo and the astronomer that lead the way to dark matter. EvilKevin announced that he helped to get David Gerrold the guest spot in last night's production of The MeshugaNutcracker in LA. Ken announced that there is a second meeting of the Legion of Rassilon this Friday night at 7:30pm at the IHOP on Stevens Creek near Lawrence and 280. They'll be watching the Christmas special - The Return of Doctor Mysterio. Plus the final episode of the spin-off Class. Reviews: John O saw Rogue One again. This time just to enjoy (Beth followed on that she stayed awake the second time.) He also read Rise of Io by Wesley Chu. Didn't realize this is part of a series. Held up well. Also read To Be a Woman by Piers Anthony. Give it a pass... Lisa H watched the Doctor Who Christmas special. Very Funny. Andy followed on with it being very charming. John O says that Nardol will be the Doctor's valet in the new series. Jerry N can't figure out how to not spoil Rogue One. There was no auction. The meeting adjourned at 20:35 with the rumor of the week: Zeldathon will feature the classic SNES game, The Legend ofWeeping Angels: A Blink to the Past -- ******************* She/whispered/'Oh/my/goodness/what/are/all/these/squirrels/doing/here?' melc...@gmail.com *******************
