Reviews
Doug reviewed the Santa Clara Citizen's Police Academy as it's 12 weeks long, held once a week & he highly recommends signing up for it
'Ready Player One' was enthusiastically reviewed by many - all of them positively, that there were a lot of Easter eggs in the movie - but no cookie at the end & recommended
John O reviewed 'Seven Stars Bar & Grill' as decorated in a Star Wars style, with really good pub grub & friendly employees & various others also recommended it
Ric reviewed the live 'Jesus Christ Superstar' as they did the musical justice & that Alice Cooper did a great Herod & Ric enjoyed it a lot
Diane reviewed Babcon as a wonderful event & she had lots of fun there & Fred also had a good time at the con
Howeird reviewed pet adoptions at Pet Smart as he found a lovely Bengal kitty that amazingly matched his decor & was definitely worth full price & reviewed becoming bionic - he has a pacemaker & it was -not- a simple procedure & he must now avoid strong magnets near his chest
Kshandra reviewed Circ de Solei - Crystal - as delightful
we had auctions
we adjourned at 9:14
Rumor of the week was that 'As God is my witness, I thought BASFAns could fly!'
