Reviews:
Bill reviewed Consonance, held last weekend as it drew about 110 attendees, was a small but very good little convention, full of great music & a good time was had by all, worth full price; Lisa also had a wonderful time
Chris reviewed 'Lovecraft Country' by Matt Ruff as surprisingly upbeat [with pride, prejudice and tentacles]
Adrienne reviewed being sick as it encouraged her to bing-watch TV shows & recommends 'The West Wing' and enjoyed 'Downton Abbey'
Debbie reviewed the Cinequest Film Festival as she enjoyed the Rita Moreno interview and tickets are still available for various events
Ken reviewed his 2nd anniversary as being married is worth full price
JC reviewed the Milpitas Chamber of Commerce Crab Feast as a hoot - there were buckets of crabs everywhere, the silent auction got lots of donations & all was worth full price; then he reviewed 'Clone Wars' the TV series as all 6 seasons are really good & it got really dark
Dave Clark reviewed the the banshees singing the birthday song as dirge-like and worth brunch
Diane reviewed 'Picasso' as a fine ensemble cast, the theatre is nice & she enjoyed the play, definitely worth full price & John followed, saying it was fun to be in the play, then Diane also reviewed 'After the End', apocalypse short stories, edited by Paula Guran, as a solid, nice read
We did auctions
we adjourned at 9:03 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'What?'
