Reviews:
Dude#10 reviewed the latest Dr Who episode as flawed but still worth stealing
Dude#12 reviewed Robogames as Thinbot came back with the gold - the C3PO medal & it was great fun & Thinbot will next be pouring at the Nebula awards
Dudette #2 reviewed Peter Beagle's birthday as a good time was had and a digital re-rendered print of 'The Last Unicorn' was shown & will now be taken on a world tour
Dude#9 reviewed that one of his daughters helped sing the National anthem at a Friday Sabercats game, did well, but there were lots of really loud pyrotechnics there that were psychologically jarring & then also performed on Saturday and did really well
Dudette#3 reviewed 'Oblivion' as 'purty' and worth matinee
Dude#2 reviewed 'stuff' and 'things' as amazing and awesome and may have used human tears, then said Lynda found some fabric right away & then reviewed 'Mister Badass' as he is the perfect man
Dude#7 reviewed the SJ Songkran festival as he didn't get wet enough & it was bright/sunny without shade - which is why he is glowing now; it was free but he would've paid for it
Dude#13 reviewed Hodder's 'Expedition to the Mountains of the Moon' as more alternate history steampunk - a fascinating read and worth trade paperback
Dudette #4 reviewed the World Book Night as she is blown away by it and it's awesome & reviewed 'The Tender bar by JR Moehringer as she highly recommends the book and the whole process of book donation
Dude#14 reviewed the Eton conference - delivered a paper there that was well-received and he may have been the only historian there & this may be good because he remembers there was a past - and he had fun and met John Landis
then we did auctions
we adjourned at 9:45 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'JC is developing a new game - boob bingo'
