Possibly for the last time in James and Sarah's rec room. If you don't know where that is, post here.

This weekend is Norwescon 32.  Several of us will be there. It starts Thursday, but I will probably be arriving on Friday.

Thursday: We met at Bayou on Bay. It took awhile to get a table, as they were busy -- but once we did, there was great beer, I ordered prime rib (a side of beef, I think), and had a visitation from author Ken Scholes and his sizable entourage. John brought books, from which I snagged Abbie Hoffman's "Steal this Book" (sans cover).

I was pleased Ken stopped in. He had a talk at WWU earlier, and then, today (Friday), a reading at Village Books. I went to the reading, bought Lamentation, and got it signed.

Saturday: One of the Jim K's has a birthday, and I want to be at North Fork with him and others. You know, North Fork Brewery, Beer Shrine, Pizzeria and Wedding Chapel. Maybe 5 p.m. tomorrow. I imagine I'll have to drive our sad car, but if I don't that would be nice. I can't get to email right now, so if anyone reading can relay this to the bsffc email group, that would also be helpful.

We're meeting Thursday, Mar 19. The website says Bayou on Bay 7 p.m.

This morning, I read this, from Ken Scholes, author of Lamentation (Tor Books 2009).

I have no idea whether these things are related, or if it's a happy coincidence. However, I want to prevent confusion. Since Ken's invitation is not friends-locked, I'll bother to repeat that his start time is 6 p.m., and that he ( kenscholes  ) or spencimusprime  are taking a headcount.

Discussions welcome.

Thursday, Jan. 29, we're meeting at 20th Century Bowl at 7 p.m. Around 9 p.m., for anyone still around and interested, we'll bowl.
If you're new, feel free to look for a handmade "sffc" sign, or make your own!

Sevenish. We will be plotting meeting locations for the next few months, tentatively for the entire year if we want.

I don't know if dice will be involved.

Julie

Tomorrow.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Sangria clause.

Sevenish. And then we have to decide what we're gonna do in the new year.

Beaver Inn

Beaver Inn.

At the Ranch Room.

I just got a cold call from somebody at some kind of resort, on my cell phone (the number listed on the web site). I reacted with my usual crankiness, but it occurs to me now that maybe I was rash to assume that we couldn't possibly make use of anything with "resort" in the title?

Anyway, had I more patience, I might have tried to explain to the cold-caller (who perhaps dislikes making such calls as much as I dislike receiving them) that since the BSFFC is an anarchy with no money and no hierarchy, it cannot possibly make any purchases.

Then I thought of Valhallacon. So, if you want to call this resort, the name of which escapes me, the number on my "recent calls" list is 360-214-3059.

Tomorrow, V-Con.
Wow, it's October already!

Topic for discussion:

Does it make a difference to you whether our regular meetings are in a pub?

Please respond if you have an opinion.

The meeting tomorrow (September 18) has been relocated from a dank bar to MikeK's back porch in order to take advantage of the last few shreds of summer.

Yeah, it's the first Thursday of the month. There is a meeting in The Rec Room. Sevenish.

Is at the Beaver Inn, 7ish.

See ya there!

Tonight there is a BSFFC meeting at the Beaver. It starts at 7ish and goes until we're tired of drinking beer.

Also, once again, does anybody have master login information for the Yahoo groups group? Anyone? Anyone?
