Reviews
Bill
Weekend before last was at Consonance (the filk convention.) Well attended. Tom
Boat (Tom Smith & Toy Boat) were there. Had a really good time. Worth full
price.
Lisa: Gave her review last week. Thanks to all who showed up. Hope to be back
same time next year.
Carole
Same weekend as Bill, was in a suburb of Boston for CostumeCon. Had a good
time. Some things could have been better. Participated in the masquerade.
Shepherded her group through rehearsals. Didn’t win. OK time for her (not sure
about paying that much for a trip without Bill.)
DaveC
Saw a couple movies. Alita Battle Angel. Very anime based live action. Same
plot progression as typical Anime. Worth matinee (would have been better if the
bar at the AMC was open). Also, Captain Marvel for the second time. Still
greatly appreciated. Worth full price for a second time.
Fred
Monet the later years at the De Young museum. Costs a little more than the
general admission fee. Worth it. Lot of works assembled from around the world.
Well laid out. Glad he went, recommends. Through May 27.

Chris
Went by Hiller airport museum, with an exhibit of Wonder Woman’s jet. Great
April fools prank.
We had an auction.
Meeting adjourned at: 20:48 and the rumor was: Professionals, artist,
booksellers and so on will no longer be able to deduct the price of gasoline or
kerosene for traveling to or from conventions.
