Reviews:
Diane reviewed the Treehouse in Stanford as a very nice eatery & reviewed 'The Iron Wyrm Affair' & 'A Conspiracy of Alchemists' as very good books
Chris reviewed special exhibits at the deYoung Museum - 'Girl with the Pearl Earring' & 'Rembrandt Century' as excellent & reviewed a Russian restaurant in Walnut Creek, 'Babuska' as it had amazing food & reviewed LaLuna in Concord as 'Oh it was SO good!' & Josh says their kitchen is SO very clean - then Chris reviewed 'Othello' as the most singularly confusing play he has ever seen
Adrienne reviewed 'Boneshaker' & 'Dreadnaught' by Cherie Priest as alternate history steampunk & she enjoyed them both - then reviewed March movies as they all suck - then reviewed 'Admissions' as light and entertaining - and Mo agreed
Dave C reviewed 'Seduction of the Innocent' by Allan Collins as an alternate history mystery that he suggests you 'read for fun' - then Chris recommends ALL the Hardcase Crime books; Dave then reviewed Hilton's appreciation gift to their Honors program members as underwhelming
Brad reviewed the Youtubed 'Justice League of America' as not as bad as he feared it would be & fine for a 6-year old
[evil] Kevin reviewed a showing of 'Iron Sky' as just as much fun the 2nd time around, especially when inflicted on an innocent - then Mo opined that it's hilarious and well done
then we did auctions
we adjourned at 9:26 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'the new pope will be a failure and Benedict will return as pope classic'
