Yochanan announced that this is the 2nd night of Hanukkah
Duncan announced that Longnow Video is currently live-streaming at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwJHvTjCFcA & this involves wonderful old videos of our common history
REVIEWS:
Yochanan reviewed 'Tales of the Jedi', 6 different animated shorts, seen on Disney Plus. He had different reactions to each of them & recommends them for any Star Wars fan, but thinks they would be lost on other folk
& he reviewed 'Key out of Time' by Andre Norton as he enjoyed it a lot & Dave G followed, saying that he found the whole 'Time Traders' series to be very entertaining
Dave G reviewed the SF Symphony of 'Handel's Messiah' as a very lovely experience, once he reached the venue & rated it as being worth full price
Candy reviewed the SF Women's Choral Society as very good & found the 'Carol of the Bells' to have the most fascinating back-story
Gayle reviewed the SF Ballet's performance of the Nutcracker & enjoyed it; for further information, check sfballet.org
Trey reviewed the World Cup final game as a drama filled spectacle, heroics on both sides & definitely worth seeing, with many announcers saying it was the best of all times; Lisa agreed, saying +it was just an insane event
Duncan reviewed a film called 'Crimes of the Future', science fiction mixed with body horror & an interesting take on ways the future will deal with pollution & he recommends it
Gerry reviewed the Minnesota Vikings game of Saturday, when they set a record in the 2nd half for the greatest come-back in NFL history as he was quite impressed
we adjourned at 8:33pm
and the rumor of the week was = 'Imagine your phone is at 5% but lasts for 8 days! Now you can get an idea about Hanukkah'
