Hey Folks, Just a correction to my announcement from November 6th meeting.
There will be an academic conference in honor of the noted late scholar, George Slusser. It will be held on the UCI campus during the last weekend in next April. Further details forthcoming. My paper proposal has been accepted, so I will be delivering a paper there.

Through 12/31 Bradford Local writer will be Tuckerizing Brad. Gerrold: This weekend a con in Portland - orycon. Hell be going, and on panels. Gary: A WorldCon has sprung up from the east coast - DCin2021.org Reviews Ric: Netflix has What Happened to Monday, dystopian SF story about overpopulated world with a child restriction. Story is about septuplets that were kept secret. Each take turns being in public. Surprising depth. Yochanon: How to Launch and Entertainment Startup event in Cupertino. Guests were great. Went a little long. Free event with free snax. Q&A and autographs. Not hugely attended. Bought the second season volume of These Are The Voyages. Carole went on Saturday, which was more of a reception. Adrienne: Saw Thor! Fun movie. May not stick with her forever (except maybe Thor?s chest). SpecialK Says it?s Hella Good. Carole. Saw it in IMAX - enjoyed it. Fun dumb superhero movie. Enjoyed Stan Lee?s Cameo. Stay to the end of the credits. Bill. Found the movie a retread of old ground. Doesn?t feel as fresh, but had fun dialogue. Borrowed themes from the Norse Ragnarock. Ric: Thor comics has been done 3 times. Really happy with the blending planet hulk, and the Scourge character. One of the best non team Marvel stories. Atheus: Enjoyable but not Marvelous? Brad: Saw Murder on the Orient Express. Enjoyed it. Hex Justice League souvenir cup. Not entirely practical. Bill: Ohio Valley Filk Festival. The Pegasus awards. Seanan McGuire was a GOH. Had a great time. Worth the trip. Ross: The Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Binge. Early ?90s, but not dated. Space Opera with variable physics. Mid evil planets, treachery, teamwork, survival, epic! First of three. All sorts of interesting. Gives is an A. There was an auction. Meeting adjourned at: 21:20 and the rumor of the week was: Nutrageous Sent from my Max-iPad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
