Reviews:
Glenn reviewed 'being on KFJC live radio [with Dave C & Kevin S] as a lot of fun & reviewed Guy Gavriel Kay's book 'Tigana' as larger in scope & really well written
Dave C reviewed 'Pirates 4' as lacking the coherancy of plot of 'At World's End' & worth matinee, there were follow-ons & Chris commented that it had a lot of the elements from Powers' book 'On Stranger Tides' and was mostly fun & that 3 cents of every ticket goes to Tim Powers
Howeird reviewed 'The Tavern', seen at Lohman Theatre at Foothill College as most of the cast was quite good & reviewed 'Pirates 4' as Penelope Cruz wore too much clothing, that Depp was amusing & mentioned mermaid bondage as 'fishy' - he recommends seeing it in 2D
Chris reviewed seeing Evelyn in a school theatre thing as 'play-writers should be strangled' - then reviewed seeing 2 seasons of 'True Blood' as it saved us all from the Rapture & considered it as 'Twi-like' with more boobage
Jo reviewed the NorthWest Leather Celebration as 'striking' & reviewed being in Joplin, Missouri a week before their tornado and here this week as priceless
Carole reviewed Maker's Faire as people loved her coat & it was worth the price of admission, but the faire seemed to lack the energy it had in year's past
Mo reviewed Maker's Faire as greatg & she had a great time there
Harold reviewed watching boxing on HBO as it was a good fight & reviewed 'Priest' as 'not an actively evil movie' but so predictable that if you can't figure out what is going to happen then you should be ashamed of yourself & it was not worth paying for & he reviewed seeing a copy of the 'Magna Carta' from 1217 at the DeYoung Museum as cool
We did auctions: books for $1.25, $0.50, $0.25, $1.00, $0.25, $1.00, $1.00, $0.25 & $0.25; magazines for $0.25, $0.25, $0.25, $1.50, $0.25 & $0.25 & Tshirts for $1.00 & $1.00
we adjourned at 9:45 pm
Rumor of the Week: 'Well there was no Rapture today, so we'll put another $100 in the jackpot for tomorrow'
