that Baycon will be at the Dunfey hotel next year & announced that her meetup group will have a mini-golf outing on Jan 2, so join them

Reviews:
JC reviewed Portland as the transportation is good there, their hotel was nice & the trip was worth full price
Mo reviewed a new film, 'Ricki and the Flash' as she recommends it for your Netflix queue
Adrienne reviewed the TV adaptation of Dick's 'Man in the High Castle' as recommended, but the ending was weak
Dave C reviewed 'The Diamond Conspiracy' by Pip Ballantine & Tee Morris as worth paperback
Howeird reviewed the Lovelace exhibit at the SJ Computer History Museum as very well done & that his group had fun with the art, he recommends taking a smart kid with you to the museum for maximum fun & the outing was worth full price
Carole reviewed Loscon as worth it to chat with old chums and she hopes to go again next year
Brad reviewed the latest 'Hunger Games' movie as a bit of a letdown
Trey reviewed 'The Wolverine' seen on blue ray as mostly a disappointment
we did auctions
we adjourned at 9:02 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'Now Beth can hang out with her peeps in the hood'
