Reviews:
[evil] Kevin reviewed an old flick, 'Moon Zero 2' as having a high cheese factor, but decent science & he was lied to = it was NOT a terrible movie; he recommends it as worth buying on Amazon & loaning out
Adrienne reviewed the Highland Games as enjoyable
John O reviewed the mini-Maker's Faire in SJ as not too crowded, so he didn't feel rushed & recommended it as quick to do and worth full price
Barbara reviewed the 3 'Sharktopus' movies as 'dear gods, why?'
Ken reviewed paying buckets of cash for his new Tesla & touring the factory & very impressed by it all
Lisa reviewed 33 days on the road visiting multiple conventions as busy & enjoyable & glad to be back
Dave C reviewed 'Anthropoid' as he really enjoyed it & it is a grim, good movie
Jo reviewed 'Suicide Squad' as he really enjoyed it & thought it good & reviewed WorldCon as he enjoyed the con but did not enjoy the lack of plugs in the Marriott & thinks the new Exploratorium on Pier 39 is a very nice upgrade
[tall] Kevin reviewed today as the roads are holiday full & reviewed WorldCon as mostly good & reviewed the road trip as they got to see railroads he'd never seen before & recommends going to Denver just to see the railroads
we did auctions
we adjourned at 9:22 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'These are Trey's days of future pasta'
