Reviews:
Adrienne reviewed the Pleasanton Scottish Highland Games as there were thousands there - and caber tossing, haggis ona stick, whiskey tasting, sheep herding, masses of dealers & fun opportunities for shopping - she had fun and highly recommends going there
Mike reviewed 'Men of Tomorrow' by Gerard Jones as really quite good & worth hardback
Howeird reviewed 'Captain America' as he saw it in 2 parts - broken up by a fire alarm & evacuation - that closed the theatre - that he came back, saw the rest & thought Tommy Lee Jones was the only bright spot in the film - that the soundtrack was nice, the end credits were good, the costumes were brilliant & worth seeing for the closing credits; Mile follow-on'd that he really liked the movie & felt there were some good comic touches in it
Dave C reviewed Chris Roberson's 'Set the Seas on Fire' as historical fantasy & a good read, worth paperback & reviewed a restaurant - the east side Mel's as 'and then I tried the food' and it was not good - worse than Dennies
Dave G reviewed the Stein collection at the SF Museum of Modern Art as go see it & well worth full price

Rumor of the Week: 'Opening soon - 'Christine the Musical' - starring Kit'
