the VP had nothing fannish to report although his radio alter-ego
celebrated Pie Day

the President had a fannish dilemma & asked how people were going to handle
the release of 'Falcon & Winter Soldier', since he does not have streaming
& he misses movie theatres & going out to eat - he is suffering a moment of
angst - then there was discussion

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Howeird announced that Norton Juster, who wrote 'The Phantom Tollbooth',
died last Monday at the age of 91

John O announced that Kaiser & several other medical group have sent out
message to members that they are now eligible for vaccination & that Chris
has been scheduled

Gerry announced that it is around the time to nominated for the Hugos &
says that 'Pacific Storm' by Linda Nagata is worthy of a Hugo nomination

Yochanan announced that Rasputin Records is getting rid of all their book
stock, so if you want books from them, go now

REVIEWS:
Lisa reviewed her problems with getting her 2nd vaccine shot & related her
run-around & being sent thru much phone tag & consulting tag & is still
trying to get the 2nd shot & she rated it as a major cluster-eff, Gerry
followed, saying that he has also been facing similar difficulties with
getting vaccinated

Yochanan reviewed 'Raya and the Last Dragon' as he saw it in an actual
theatre & it was a cute movie, but he wouldn't pay to ever watch it again -
a very Disney paint-by-number plot & the dragon was very disappointing, was
more like 'my little pony' and was maybe worth paying matinee, once; & then
reviewed an Amazon Prime show - 'Hunters' that he was disappointed by &
cannot recommend it & reviewed a show on HBO Max called 'Raised by Wolves'
and he is loving this show about androids trying to raise children & it's
very interesting & he recommends it highly

Howeird reviewed VP Harris coming to Las Vegas & seeing students getting
stabbed [with vaccination needles] on the Ides of March as it lacked
Brutus-ality & reviewed the first part of 'Pacific Storm' by Linda Nagata
as very compelling writing & he looks forward to reading the rest of the
book

Gayle reviewed MarsCon as there were very interesting panels, on exploring
Mars, on costuming & as regards space in the Biden era & she found the
con-runners did not account for not every convention goer not already
having a Google account & hopes she can go there live next year & Lisa also
saw some of the panels on Zoom, but is still having technical difficulties

Todd reviewed an anime series on Hulu, 'Jobless Reincarnation' as pretty
interesting & really well done & addictive

March'
