Reviews:
Adrienne reviewed the TV 'Outlander' as disappointing but she's still watching it & explained that computer problems kept her from publishing her Bombay Gardens review, but it is out now
Convolution was extensively reviewed as a glorious ball of fun - with very few complaints [those being about the badges, lack of options for those who are mobility-challenged & poor signage ... due to hotel staff removing signs] - but easily a 95%+ positive convention
Carol announced that Sasquan 2015 needs more help with programming = http://sasquan.org/
Bill reviewed the 2014 Eurocon as fun to attend
Bradford reviewed 'The Astronaut's Wife' as bought at BASFA auction for $0.25 and that he overpaid
Yochanan reviewed 'The Strain' on FX as he's enjoying it - and reviewed this season's 'Dr Who' as he's disappointed with its writing - and Carole agreed
Chris O reviewed 'Gotham' as interesting and he wants to see more of the shows & reviewed 'Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles' as he wants his 90 minutes back and drastically overpaid - seeing it at matinee prices
Terry reviewed 'Guardians of the Galaxy' as she enjoyed it a lot and loves Groot
Bob reviewed the fluffy pillows he bought at BASFA auction as his niece's favorite presents

we adjourned at 9:25
and the rumor of the week was: 'Groot seedlings! New from Mattel!'
