Reviews:
JC reviewed 'Arrow' on WB as it's promising & has good writing - it's not cheesy so far - there were comments made that it has good beefcake & good guests
[evil] Kevin reviewed the Ad Hoc 'Ghostbusters' outing as the movie is still fun [even pre-CGI] & absolutely worth full price - it recharged his fannish batteries - & JC said it was a lot of fun & the balloon release was great fun
Mike reviewed 'Jester Leaps In' by Alan Gordon as it has a medieval setting & he liked it & it's part of a longer series & he reviewed a Book Arts Jam as it was full of handmade books & other art - a worthwhile thing to visit
Chris reviewed his birthday as awesome & entertaining & reviewed a movie - 'SERP' as very theatre & chatty - but badly filmed & worth not having to pay to see it & reviewed the Giants as they are going to the World Series
Dave C reviewed a book, 'Feed' by Mira Grant as he's still reading it but is enjoying it - [evil] Kevin rollowed with 'and if it wasn't for those meddling kids' - then Dave reviewed '7 Psychopaths' as he wishes it could've either been crazier or more coherant - worth matinee
We did auctions
we adjourned at 9:25 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'When the zombies come, the Giants will be playing'
