For those interested, this is the _city's_ summer outdoor movie series, 
finishing up for 2018 this month.  The last three:


o  Friday evening, Sept. 7th (this Friday), 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi',
   outdoors at Burgess Park.  Burgess is the grassy park housing the 
   civic centre and library, just east of the CalTrain tracks from 
   downtown.  http://www.menlopark.org/Calendar.aspx?EID=4461


o  Friday evening, Sept. 14th, 'Paddington 2', likewise at Burgess Park.
   http://www.menlopark.org/Calendar.aspx?EID=4462


o  Friday evening, Sept. 21st, 'Coco', Kelly Park.  Kelly Park is just
   east of US-101 ('Belle Haven') and best approached (if in car) from 
   Bayfront Expressway.  http://www.menlopark.org/Calendar.aspx?EID=4463


For those who haven't yet seen 'Coco', consider making time to see this
family-friendly but surprisingly effective 2017 Pixar flick, which is
an utterly gorgeous fantasy based on Mexican Día de Muertos tradition.  
And, as they say on the city Web pages, you're advised to bring a chair,
a _blanket_, and some snacks.  (I usually bring some fresh-made popcorn
from home to share.)

Reviews

DaveG
At the end of July, he and Spring went to Las Vegas for the big Star Trek 
Convention (creation.) Spring is a dealer there. Dealers room schedule was: Tu 
6-10:30p, W 9a-7p, Th 8:30a-7p, Fr 8a-7p, Sa 8a-7p Sun 8a-6p. This is referred 
to as the creation death march. Everyone seemed to have a good time. Sales were 
decent. Came home for 4 days then Worldcon76.
MeTV on Sat night/Sun am. - Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea TV series. This 
past weekend was the season 2 opener - in color. Like Lost in Space, became 
dumbed down when in color. Still entertaining, but first season more 
interesting.
DaveC: Look at Lost in Space for Irwin Allen’s commitment to special effects.
MeTV only on ATT-Uverse in the Bay Area (no cable or over the air since 
January.) Parent company is looking to purchase a local broadcaster.

Gordon
Last weekend went to Bubonicon 50 in Albuquerque, NM. Good time had by all. 
Strong art show.


Carole
Saw Christopher Robin at the Pruneyard (dinner and a movie in one!) Enjoyable. 
Can be enjoyed at home if you can’t make it to the theatre.
Bill: Was in the mood for Pooh. Live action with Obi Wan and Doctor Who (12), 
Agent Carter. Enjoyable.
JohnO: Also saw it this weekend. Enjoyed. Worth movie club membership ($8/ea) 
Will tickle your memory bone…

Gerold
Diana Paxon has finished the 8th book of Westria series - The Turquoise 
Scepter. Not his usual fare, but found it a good page-turner. (based on 
unedited manuscript.)


JohnO
Planned to do either the whole MCU in IMAX, or Harry Potter. DId Deathly 
Hallows (1&2) on Sat night. Fairly fresh to him & Chris. They cut a lot of the 
angsty teens in the tent from the books out. Storyline holds together, but the 
ending felt rushed. Wrapped up well. Realized in book 5 that Neville was going 
to be the real hero. Back-to-back is worth it.
Lisa: SyFy has been marathoning HP this weekend as well. New Fantastic Beasts 
is this November.


There was an auction 

Meeting adjourned at: 21:16 and the rumor of the week was: The president of 
BASFA is unimpeachable.
