Chris O announced that she will be able to attend DetCon after all [Michigan, July 17-20, Detroit Marriott]

Carole announced that she won't be here next week
Bill announced that Westercon is the 4th ofJuly weekend
Reviews:
I reviewed 'Maleficient' as much better than I expected - worth full price - and there were follow-ons - all agreeing [tho Trey thought it worth 'at least matinee']
Adrienne reviewed the latest episode of 'Orphan Black' as awesome & commented that she is reading a book = 'Haunted Hotels of the California Gold Coast' as it contains uncredited and very nearly copied matieral that Adrienne had written and posted
Bill reviewed 'A Star Above It', a LoneStarCon freebie as quite good & reviewed the new 'X-men' movie as worthwhile & he enjoyed it
Bradford reviewed Patterson's volume 2 of Heinlien's biography as a 'must read'
Dave C reviewed 'Bye Bye Baby' by Max Allan-Collins - a mystery/suspense novel - as enjoyable, a good read - worth full price pb; then reviewed the Dr Who DVD Dreamland, animated, as not very good animation, but otherwise okay & reviewed a June 1st 'last week tonight' with John Oliver as a really good piece on net neutrality
we did auctions
we adjourned at 9:30
and the rumor of the week was: 'The steak is a lie'
