Reviews:
Dave G reviewed SMOFcon as abbreviated, since he couldn't be there for the entire weekend, but it was a great convention for the sleep-deprived & he highly recommends Virgin America airlines
Dave C reviewed 'American Horror Story - Asylum' as an insane show ['trying to be 'lost' but less coherant' - Andy]
Chris reviewed the Los Gatos Christmas parade as awesome - it had clowns that terrified the kids & he reviewed using his crockpot as a science experiment as the result 'smelled of death' & he recommends a short film called 'Zombeo and Juliecula'
Tom reviewed his Honda Fit EV as 'almost like being in the future' - fun - and worth double what he paid for it
Ric reviewed 'Saga' by Brian K Vaughn as an amazing comic & highly recommended & then reviewed 'The Walking Dead' as there'll be no new episodes out for a while & that Telltale Games has released a zombie game for PC/360/Steam [Howeird: 'she loves him for his looks, he loves her for her brains']
Ken reviewed LonestarCon's website as horrible & reviewed 'Santastic!' at the Retrodome as a great little show
We did auctions
we adjourned at 9:22 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'That wasn't a bid'
