Reviews:
Nathan reviewed the new 'Star Wars' trailer as it looks promising
Bill reviewed the 'Star Wars' orchestral performance as very well done; Lisa followed, saying it was great and a lot of hard work & phenominal & Harold liked the subtitles used
Carole reviewed Big Wow as a standard comic convention, with a few good panels, as it was a lot of fun [and her Tshirt was -excellent!-], Bill reviewed it as there was a lot of energy there and he enjoyed it a lot more than he expected to & there were other positive comments made
Diane recommended going to cons
Chris also recommended going to cons & reviewed Wrestlemania as go see it in person and the Russian tank was the best part
Adrienne reviewed the new season start of 'Orphan Black' as amazing & she appreciates the male nudity; Chuck agreed and found the acting amazing
Mo reviewed 'Ancillary Justice' & 'Ancillary Sword' by Ann Leckie as they really drew her in and are excellent reads
JC reviewed Disney's 'Monkey Kingdom' as fun and worth full price & Beth's opinion is that 'monkeys are cool'
Nathan reviewed the 'Daredevil' series as it captured the feel of the comics and Marvel universe & Carole said the overall quality is good
we did auctions
we adjourned at 9:11
and the rumor of the week was: 'The missing minutes have been mistaken for a brownie'
