Reviews:
[evil] Kevin reviewed 'Pleasure Unwoven' a very good video about neurochemical addition - and mentioned it's available on Youtube
Adrienne reviewed 'Warm Bodies' as she enjoyed it - but would've liked an explanation for the zombie cause & recommends it, worth full price
JC reviewed 'Oz the Great & Powerful' as seen in 3d & well done; several others commented that they enjoyed it - good, even if it is unlikely to have the staying power of 'the 1939 film'
Mo reviewed 'House on the Border Lands' by William Hope Hodson as it weirded her out and is worth full price - and she also took a class in making Venetian masks - the teacher was very good & will offer another class in Campbell in May - check carladequant.com
Chris reviewed Cinequest as awesome & Ken pretty much agreed
Fred reviewed FogCon as he enjoyed it - it's a con focused on literature & ideas; Brad also enjoyed himself, Andy enjoyed it - thought it simultaneously silly and serious & Diane thought it was a nice little con & she had fun there
Lisa reviewed '7 Stars Bar & Grill' 398 S.Bascom - as lots of fun & decorated in a Star Wars theme
we adjourned at 9:32 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'Chris Garcia for Pope'
