Tom reviewed 'Gene Mapper' by Taiyo Fujii, a cyberpunk thriller about rice, as enjoyable and a kick to read
Beth reviewed Heroes and Villain con as the best possible weekend ever, with lots of pictures and she thought it was amazing & well run, there were other comments about how good it was - but it needed more seating
John O reviewed the 'Hunger Games' premeire as grim & dark - a good movie that stayed true to the book
Adrienne reviewed Windycon as very pleasant & Mo was fan GoH - all in all a good con
we did auctions
we adjourned at 9:10 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'I hope it is a pun, because otherwise it's creepy'
