Committees:
Relocation:
How about Game Stores with play areas? If they are open late enough on a
Monday, and are willing to host (may need to be food friendly…)
Gerald is proposing that we give the Milpitas Denny’s a try. He would be
willing to cover the guarantee difference. We’ll wait for the President and
Secretary to be present to discuss further.
A suggestion was made to the outings committee for a BASFA Relaxi-con? Meetup
at a hotel.
New Business:
No new business.
Announcements:

Yochanan:
Lisa Loring, the original Wednesday Addams died age 64.

also in The Last of Us, which is reviewed below).
Disney+’s The Mysterious Benedict Society is not being renewed.
The Sistine Chapel is doing a projection display at Oakridge Mall. (Possibly
like the Van Gogh immersive experience?)
Gerald:
He and Gayle will be at RadCon in Pascal WA. 16-19 February.
Reviews
Yochanan:
The Last Ship (Hulu) A ship trying to work on curing a pandemic (the series was
a few years before COVID). He had seen the early seasons, but was finally able
to catch up on what he’d missed. Kind of lost steam in being the savior of the
world year after year… Gave him a starship vibe with the ship on the ocean.
Based on a novel. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Ship_(TV_series)
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Ship_(TV_series)>
The Last of Us (HBO) Based on video game. A fungal infection turns people into
zombies. Three episodes in, and liking it already. Closely matches the video
game. Non-linear storytelling. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_of_Us_(TV_series)
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_of_Us_(TV_series)>
Craig:
Assassination Classroom (anime). Tentatively recommending. A creature that has
destroyed the moon, and soon the earth, is teaching kids to kill him, which may
be impossible. Odd, curious. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_Classroom

Rumor of the Week:
This weeks rumor is there’s no rumor.
Adjourned at: 20:34
