Reviews:
Jo reviewed a big pistol-gripped LED 1000 lumen flashlight from the Stanley 2M series that cost $23.00 - as very bright & directional and worth more than full price
Diane reviewed 'Wasteland of Flint' by Thomas Harland as a good, interesting read
Fred reviewed 'Fire on the Mountain' by Terry Bisson as interesting alternate world sf
Howeird reviewed subscribing to Amazon's prime 2nd day shipping [$70/year] as it has some interesting perks to go along with it & is maybe worth full price
I reviewed a Youtube filk of Howeird singing a Frank Hayes song = 'When I was a Boy' a pretty darned good
Joni reviewed the Vampire Diary series as 'she recommends flee'
We did auctions
we adjourned at 8:40 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'Newt Gingrich now regrets he did not try to buy a Hugo voting block'
