REVIEWS:
Steven reviewed 'Vienna: Retribution' as having great plotting, good acting, a great finish - recommended & worth full price
Fred reviewed a stage play of 'R.U.R.' by Santa Cruz students as very well done for non-actors
Ken reviewed this last week's episode of 'The Oriville' as 'OMG' & Andy followed, saying 'WTF'
Gerry reviewed RadCon as a nice convention, even with some registration & programming problems, but they persevered and he had 12 panels there, Gayle commented that there were some nice costumes
Dave C reviewed driving home from Gallifrey One as it was full of incidents & lots of traffic [there were many comments then about the traffic; then he reviewed Gallifrey One as Dealers Room did very well, John O said they brought a friend and 'boy did he have fun!' - it was a good con; Andy said they inherited the Masquerade 3 weeks before con, but it still went well [because they have mad skillz]
we adjourned at 8:53
Rumor of the week was 'Acronyms FTW'
