As of the start of meeting 1105, BASFA's general fund balance was $11,678.77; the party jar had $370.52. The President's wasn't there to report. The VP reported there's a new Drink Tank out, available at efanzines.com and the next issue will be about the Rocky Horror Picture Show. He said he's lost track of which issues these are since the last few covers haven't included the numbers. He said Drink Tank #300 is a work in progress and currently has over 200 pages. He also handed out copies of the TAFF ballot. The Sports Committee said that the San Jose Sharks were trailing in their game that evening. I added that the NY Jets were winning, but not scoring enough for me to win this week's picks. Announcements: Kevin R. announced that the Retro Dome (formerly the Century 25 Theater) will be showing Little Shop of Horrors and Rocky Horror Picture Show with singalongs this weekend. Next weekend, they'll be showing Star Treks II, III, and IV and doing "Trek or Treat." For more info, go to http://www.theretrodome.com/. Howeird said that Dennis Ritchey died on October 12. I followed on that it was also the 22nd anniversary of the Loma Prieta Earthquake.

Brad asked Dave G. to send him that list. I announced that Bay Area Ghost Hunters has a couple of meetups arranged for the near future. This Saturday, October 22, we'll be meeting for lunch at the haunted Wyndham (formerly LeBaron) Hotel, where I have also reserved the haunted room. On Sunday, November 13, BAGH will be celebrating its 5th anniversary at the haunted Old Spaghetti Factory in San Jose. For more details, please go to http://www.meetup.com/bay-area-ghost-hunters. 'Tis the season. Reviews: Jo said a friend wanted to be in the right room at the haunted Santa Cruz jail. Harold said Dawson was declared winner by TKO, which created some banter that went over my head. Harold added he spent his summer vacation in Paris and loved it. The best way to get around is by foot. He saw Monet art at a museum. Cokes cost €9. He now thinks of it as home and it was worth full price. Diane, Brad and Kevin S. all followed on with positive comments. I took the Haunted Haight tour in San Francisco since the last BASFA meeting. It's a deliciously creepy way to spend some time during this holiday season. For more info, please go to http://www.hauntedhaight.com/html/hauntedhaight_guide.html. Andy said the Quilt Fair was worth full price. He also saw The Fades and says it's worth stealing. Kevin S. had a frustrating experience at the Nevada DMV. Josh read Dragons in the Stars by Jeffrey A. Carver and said it was worth full price. He also said Catch 22, by Joseph Heller is very, very good. We did auctions. Rumor of the Week: "Two bucks and Chris can have it." We adjourned at 9:40 p.m.
