Reviews:
Dave C reviewed 'Among Others' by Walton as 'meh' & reviewed a panel show, 'What You Have Been Watching' is up on Youtube as fascinating and appalling
Howeird reviewed the 'Princess Bride' at the Retrodome as a hoot and then the Bawdy cast 'Rocky Horror' afterwards as a total fail, reviewed Scalzi's 'Red Shirts' as he enjoyed it - especially the multiple codas at the end - worth full price & reviewed Thailand as humid, with too many steps
Valerie reviewed 'Ascendio' - a Harry Potter con in Florida as she was on many, many panels & events & didn't see much of the con & reviewed 'LeakyCon' - another Harry Potter con - as 15,000 teenaged girls squeeing constantly & she also spoke at it 6 times
Ric reviewed 'Immortals' as a beautiful filk & that's about it, he recommended video streaming it & reviewed 'Exodus' as very long and a very good story - a wonderful movie & highly recommended
Mo reviewed 'Casa de Mia Padre', as very funny
Ken reviewed serving & pouring wine as they were very popular & got to take some home with them & reviewed going to the Saturday, KFJC's audience appreciation party at the Homestead Lanes as he enjoyed it & also enjoyed the Friday Retrodome 'Princess Bride' that was incredibly popular [rodents of unusual size were mentioned] & he then gave Andy his birthday card
JC reviewed 'The Perfect Host' as a fantastic little movie [with David Hyde Pierce]
We birthday auctioned off Andy for $10.00 to [evil] Kevin & did other auctions
we adjourned at 10:01 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'We have a bid in the back' [thank you, Harold]
