Reviews:
Bill reviewed Consonance 2014 as excellent - with very good music - worth the at-the-door full price & reviewed 'My Life as a White Trash Zombie' by Diana Rowland as well-written for the white trash lifestyle; that it cost 10 cents and was well worth it and the time spent
John O reviewed 'Spamalot' in Newark at Stage One as good talent, great comic timing, good costumes and go see it, worth full price, for more details check stage1theatre.org
Ken reviewed more of Hong Kong as their accomodations were good, they wandered around and saw sights, encountered a marathon, had a monsoon hit them in HK Disneyland & they shopped
Bradford reviewed 'James Tiptree Jr - the double life of Alice B Sheldon' by Julie Phillips as highly recommended & reviewed the latest episode of 'Walking Dead' as heart-rendering
I reviewed the Hash House on Hamilton Avenue as very crowded, very loud - but the food was very, very good and the place is worth trying out, Trey commented that he enjoyed their churros waffle
Aatheus reviewed the Netflix customer service folks as excellent
we did auctions
we adjourned at 9:30
and the rumor of the week was: 'BASFA needs supervision'
