JC announced that Nerdvana episode #8 a & b are now out & that c will be released either Tuesday or Wednesday - and d will be released next Wednesday
Reviews:
DaveC reviewed 'The Following' as he's seen too much of it already, Mo comments that it's a 'how to' for serial killers but Kevin Bacon shines in it, then Dave reviewed 'Community' as 'it was the cable's fault' & Chris said it was awesome - then Dave reviewed reports about driving across Texas as because of these he may not have a table at LonestarCon
Chris reviewed 'Portlandia' as the most awesome thing on TV right now & reviewed 'Zombie Dice' as he didn't win
Adrienne reviewed 'Amour' as pretty grim - recommends to avoid it & reviewed 'Argo' as awesome & worth full price, Mo followed, saying it was accurate and
awesome; then Adrienne reviewed a bunch of short subjects as 'Death of a Shadow' was good
Mo reviewed doing art [it all looked like the back of panels to me] - as shrinking the art tightens it up
Jo reviewed sciatica as not worth any price
JC predicted that Spiderman #700 will not be the end of Peter Parker
We did auctions
we adjourned at 9:24 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'Chris will be a finalist for Pope but lose to Belgium'
