[evil] Kevin announced that WooWoo Monroe will be performing at Saturday, April 26 at Renegade's Bar in SJ at 10pm
Reviews:
[tall] Kevin reviewed the Hotel Cabana in Palo Alto as fancy-looking, a remarkably comfortable hotel - but the $12 parking fee was not appreciated & it would be a great place for a SMOFcon
Howeird reviewed 'Little Shop of Horrors' as it's been keeping him busy, makes a great children's show ['they eat it up'] and he thinks it's a great show
Diane reviewed books - 'Dead Space: Martyr' by BK Evenson as sf/horror and highly recommended - & reviewed 'Overkill' and 'Undercurrents' - both by Robert Buettner as parts of a series with good world-building and good plots and she plans to buy the whole series, it's that good
Adrienne reviewed the season premiere of 'Orphan Black' as funny and good and tense and Felix remains her favorite character
Ryan reviewed 'Transcendence' as really good, if predictable - worth seeing at matinee
prices
we did auctions
we adjourned at 9:12
and the rumor of the week was: 'the internet is for cats, pron & conspiracies'
