and he reviewed 'Tales of the Walking Dead' seen on AMC as it's a one season, 6 episode anthology of 1-off stories and the first 2 eps are amazing, but then the quality drops. He rates it as worth matinee
see = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_the_Walking_Dead
and he reviewed going to see the Magnes Museum of Jewish Art & Life in Berkeley, on the UC Berkeley campus. He enjoyed his visit and highly recommend it, saying the exhibit is free, but the parking is not

Ken reviewed 'Drive Away Dolls' as very adult & very funny. 'Philly lesbians in mischief in 1999, on a trip to Tallahassee in a car that nefarious doers had baggage in.' Ethan Cohen co-wrote and directed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive-Away_Dolls
Lisa reviewed the filking convention, 'Consonance', as there was much singing and much glorious music until the late night hours. She enjoyed herself entirely too much and reports that the con should be held the same time next year and that tonight she gets to sleep
see = https://www.consonance.org/
Robin reviewed a local Colorado author Kendra Merritt's book, 'Surviving Daybreak', as book 2 of the 'Daybreak Colony series' and it has an interesting premise that she liked very much. She recommends both the book and the series.
