Reviews:
Dave C reviewed 'Gone Girl' as a moving experience - but he felt better once it was over
Mike reviewed Eric Brown's book 'Jani and the Greater Game' as he bought the book because of the cover and it was a ripping yarn. Steampunk set in India and worth full price - highly recommended
Josh reviewed taking part in the South SF Bay Area Tiki bar Crawl as an all-weekend event and he saw a LOT of tiki bars
Bill reviewed Jack McDevitt's book 'Firebird' as an advanced physics sf mystery - a good read and a good series - recommended
Carole reviewed 'The Book of Life' as very enjoyable and visually stunning - worth full price
Chris reviewed 'Ghost Stories' [the play at West Valley College] as the costumes were great [Josh made them] and the play was enjoyable - worth full price
we did auctions
we adjourned at 9:11 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'BASFA rights the outlaw wrongs on Mars'
