Ken announced that Mo won a Hugo & announced [redacted]
Debbie announced that Westercon 2013 hotel reservations is up and running
Reviews:
I reviewed Star Wars the old Republic mmo as a fun online game to play. The mmo is free to play to level 15, I'm on the Ebon hawk server & have been -very- impressed by the storylines
Ric reviewed the Hugo-cast as great - until the 'cast was killed by Ustream - but he got to see Mo win [and there was more neepery about that]
Debbie reviewed 'the Girl in the Steel Corset' by Kady Cross as a YA steampunk book that she enjoyed and it had an actual ending
Ed reviewed Worldcon as fun and interesting - after he spent 5 days in the hospital - but he did NOT like Chicago; he approved of the large Dealer's Room & the art show was good - and he's still looking for a 'Galaxy' 1980, volume 40, #1
JC reviewed 'Bullet in the face' as 6 episodes of dark comedy that is awesome & highly recommended & he absolutely loves it - check IFC & then [redacted]
Josh reviewed the UCBerkeley home opener as the renovations are awesome & the Bears lost & reviewed 'The Fisherman's Wife' as highly recommended & hilarious - it's playing at the Impact Theatre for the next 4 weeks
Ken reviewed 'Moulon Rouge' as fun & fantastic and a pretty good crowd & reviewed the Dr Who episode seen Saturday as you really need to see the end
We did auctions
we adjourned at 9:13 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'this rumor redacted redacted redacted'
