To clarify the podcast I reviewed is Steven Nelson's The Jackalcast. Can be found at
http://jackalcast.com/ Episode 4: Hugo award winning fanzine editor Christopher J Garcia joins the JackalCast for an often hilarious, occasionally surreal thing that vaguely resembles an interview. Major topics of conversation include AquaMan, the Computer History Museum, his second-worst idea ever, Sherlock Holmes, and things, for which he has a tremendous fondness. -Ric >> From: Adrienne Foster <ajfos...@pacbell.net> >> To: BASFA <ba...@basfa.org> >> Sent: Wed, January 11, 2012 10:23:37 PM >> Subject: [Basfa] BASFA minutes for October 17, 2011 >> >> >> Meeting 1119 >> >> January 9, 2012 >> >> Trey Haddad, President >> Chris Garcia, Vice President >> Dave Gallaher, Treasurer >> Galen Tripp, Sergeant at Arms >> Barbara Johnson-Haddad, Secretary >> held at Coco's, 1206 Oakmead Parkway (Lawrence Expressway/101 Fwy), Sunnyvale >> >> Began promptly at 8:00 p.m., before I had pen and paper handy >> >> President and Secretary mysteriously absent >> Vice President presiding >> Adrienne Foster, acting minute taker >> >> 27 people attended >> >> We established a party jar. >> >> The minutes of meeting 1118 were accepted as "Lily von Schnowflake" >> >> Treasurer reported at meeting 1118 we collected $15.00 in the regular jar >> and $25.18 in the party jar. >> >> The President's wasn't there to say he had nothing fannish to report. >> >> The VP reported there's a new Drink Tank out, in memory of Rusty Hevelin. >> >> The Sports Committee is considering possible Giants games for a BASFA group >> outing and was considering Thursday afternoon , May 17, against the St. >> Louis Cardinals or Sunday, May 20, against the Oakland A's.
