Reviews:
I reviewed 'The Thing' - a prequel of the Carpenter version & set in the Norwegian camp - as fun to watch, that it dovetales well with the Carpenter version & was worth full price
[newly evil] Harold reviewed riding a hang glider in Hollister as he had a good [albeit expensive] time with Bay Area Glider Ride
Andy reviewed episodes of 'The Fades' as kind of an annoying, creepy teen drama - worth stealing
Jo reviewed 'The Big Short' by Lewis as a non-fiction book on stock derivatives as an incredibly good book
Adirenne reviewed Bank of America as their credit payment system makes loan sharks look good in comparison & suggests getting a credit card from -anyone- but them & [newly evil] Harold agreed
[evil] Kevin reviewed a costume party as fun & he had his classical music education refreshed; Ken followed that it was indeed a fun party
A comment was made - noting the absense of Chris Garcia - that he needed time alone with his new bacon syrup and his Hugo
Josh reviewed 'Catching Fire' by Collins as really enjoyable & almost as good as 'Hunger Games' & also reviewed the Westover Winery as being a friendly, very geeky fun fan experience & he tasted some very enjoyable wines
Bradford reviewed MileHighcon as a very friendly group & a fun con - well organized - & highly recommended
Ken reviewed the KFJC open house as a lively event & reviewed getting 'barely used' carpeting as worth the price - call Remnant World and ask for George
We then did auctions – bunches of Asimov's, other magazines, books & a poster
we adjourned at 9:30pm
Rumor of the Week: 'occupado'
