Reviews:
Rick reviewed seeing 'Scott Pilgrim Takes Off' an 8-part animated series on Netflix that is quite witty & entertaining, using actors from the Scott Pilgrim movie as voice actors. Highly recommended

Patty reviewed driving from SJ to Florida [with 3 cats & a dog & people] is not worth any amount of money & she felt that driving on highway 10 was like driving through several of the circles of hell, especially while in Texas & she has to return to California, she will be flying
There was some discussion about cross-country driving that sounded like exciting amounts of misery
Lisa reviewed Consonance - that the Santa Clara Hilton was slightly run-down but suited the needs of the con quite nicely. It was an enjoyable convention. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves & the music was wonderful. Kennita gave compliments to the Con Suite.
Yochanan reviewed 'Kung Fu Panda 4' as very cute with & great animation & a decent storyline. He recommends seeing it
and the rumor of the week was = 'There & Back Again' makes driving through Texas akin to visiting Mordor
we adjourned at = 8:33pm
