REVIEWS:
Lisa reviewed SiliCon from this last weekend, live, with Adam Savage & the programming kept changing without warning - except on their website during the con. It was mostly a media con & they had a good maker's / art show & required all rooms to be emptied after each panel & to line up again for the next panel in the room. She would go again. Gayle followed that Gerry was on a panel there & she attended several enjoyable panels & that she had a good time.
Yochanan reviewed a book 'Ender in Exile' by Orson Scott Card as nothing much happens until halfway through the book, but that he enjoyed it a lot anyway & also reviewed the Legion of Rassilon's in-person meeting as wonderful & very much recommended
Craig reviewed 'Van Helsing' because he was bored & the special effects were nice but the plot was a bit lacking & worth watching if you have nothing better to do
Howeird reviewed a show on the Discovery Channel called 'Dino Hunters' that was interesting & a way to make ranching profitable by looking for fossils & being down-to-earth-cowboys & he recommends the show

we adjourned at 8:34 pm
and the rumor of the week = 'Smoke is now a season'
