Folks,
Sorry I missed yesterday's meeting.
There will actually be a panel on this subject matter at this year's Worldcon.
The best SF of 1938 will be discussed.
Connie Wills is the moderator and panelists include Dave Kyle, Larry Friesen,
and ME (Yay!).
It will take place on Saturday, 4:00-5:00pm.
Brad

The

& Let Die podcast.

There

The

passed out hardcopies of his fanzine, The
Wright Stuff, which details his progress across the U.S.
?
I
announced that Loncon 3 is planning to present the 1939 Retro Hugos last year
and suggested that the Hugo Recommendations committee add those to our lists
next year. It was agreed and quickly dismissed without any debate.
?
?
Announcements:
?
JC
celebrated the first anniversary of Nerdvana.

Mike
M. said Pacificon, the gaming convention, is looking for volunteers.

Kevin
R. said that he and Andy will be at next week's meeting, the last before
LoneStarCon 3, and they would be happy to hand carry any site selection votes

Ric
without a k said he has a special D23 edition of Fanboy Planet posted.
?
I
mentioned that all of the old Century dome theatres are under threat of
demolition and would be a damn shame to lose 21 & 22, since they're not
only the largest regular movie screens in the South Bay, but they have the best
acoustics. For those interested in the petition, please go to:
