Baby was born! Babies are cool!
There is a convention this weekend – Comic Con.
Chuck Reviews Young Frankenstein quote-a-long at the RetroDome, which he thinks is a unique
entertainment concept. “Apparently, they were back there squirting or something.” People
followed on and they had fun.
Adrienne reviewed Westercon! She went to Westercon. It was small-to-midsize, possibly less
than 800. She thought it was quiet, not a lot of energy, a quiet con for older fen. Good
parties, though not many. Went to the Dr. Who Burlesque, which was kinda scary. Everything
seemed a bit late. Ed said that he went as well, the weather was great, the drive was nice,
but DAMN, that's a long drive! He had a good time, good artshow, good dealers room, but he
didn't think it was too small. HE was put on the mining on the moon panels, dealing with
economics. Ed likes Westercon. Adrienne likes the hotel. Debbie shilled for Sacramento's
Westercon.
Before Westercon, Adrienne went to New England and drove through 3 different states –
Massachussetts, Vermont and New Hampshire. She liked New England!
Ric reviewed Spider-man. He thought it was fine, though it was sad they had to re-do it so
soon and that they had a few problems, including the characters not looking that much like
the characters from the comic. It made a lot of money. It strikes Ric as incredibly sad that
this franchise is owned by Sony. Follow-ons happened, as they often do...
Chris' computer is running out of battery...
Ric reviewed Homeroom, a Mac 'n Chee restaurant that was awesome! She enjoyed the Garlic
version, which was the best at the table. After that, the Gaultier exhibit was AWESOME!
Chris loved the conveyor belt and punk stuff.
Kennita went to the After Hours at the Tech. 7 to Midnight, first Thursday of every month,
there are booze and stuff. It's free on your Birfday month. We should do that!
Josh went to the SF Symphony and it was UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!! He was one of the youngest people
there. The space is excellent.
Mo Announced that it was Murphy Anderson's (Mystery in Space, Strange Adventures) birfday!
Ernest Borgnine died. Andy Griffith is also dead. The Wheel of Time turns again.
saw Brave and Rock of Ages. Rock of Ages was fun, Brave was good, but not Pixar's best.
Kennita reviewed Magic Mike. People walked out, but some came. The dancing was done by Stunt
Doubles.
Jerry marched in a parade and they won!
Rumor of the Week is We're not gonna last 15 minutes
