REVIEWS:
Yochanan reviewed 'The Sirens of Titan' by Kurt Vonnegut Jr as enjoyable & very deep, with good world-building & highly recommended;
& he reviewed the movie 'Asteroid City' as wasn't very impressed with it & worth matinee

Ken followed with a great quip from the audience he saw it with & also was not overly impressed by it
& Yochanan reviewed a Netflix TV series, 'The Silent Sea' that he thinks is doing a really, really good job & he highly recommends it; check = https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11570202/
& Yochanan reviewed Baycon as he had the best time there & appreciated their masking policy & very much enjoyed meeting people there & highly recommends going; Craig followed, also recommending BayCon; Lisa also went & also had a good time - her only complaint being that she couldn't be in multiple places at the same time; and many other people also spoke to the topic, all positive - except for the parking & pricing on food on site there
& Yochanan reviewed seeing 'The Cabin in the Woods' as he was very pleased with it & highly recommends it, even if you don't like horror or monster movies; see = https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1259521/
& Yochanan reviewed visiting the Computer History Museum & was blown away with how wonderful & amazing the place was, spending more than 5 hours there and still felt as though he could have stayed longer & highly recommends going there; Craig followed, also highly recommends visiting
Rick reviewed 'Silo' on Apple+ TV, as an excellent streaming TV series based closely (so far) on Hugh Howey's dystopian, indy-published trilogy "Wool" & he is enjoying it. check = https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14688458/
Trey reviewed the first season of 'Ted Lasso', seen on Apple+ TV, as he is enjoying watching it & it reminds him of the movie 'The Replacements' & he recommends it
Lisa reviewed seeing Stuido Ghibli's 'Nausicaa & the Valley of the Winds' as really gorgeous, with a truly good story & she really loved it & it's available on DVD. The secretary followed = Make sure to get the full version & not the hacked up version released about 20 years ago with terrible dubbing. Duncan commented that Studio Ghibli inspires him to learn Japanese
check = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nausica%C3%A4_of_the_Valley_of_the_Wind_(film)
& Lisa mentioned she plans to see 'Castle in the Sky' next week; check = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_in_the_Sky
