Reviews:
Ed reviewed LosCon as the drive down was scenic, he helped with set-up, the con was a little slow & small & angry, but he had fun, there were various follow-ons mentioning hotel fail, fall colors and tule fog
Randy reviewed 'My Weekend with Marilyn' as a bit of a touching view of her
'Bob' reviewed 'Hugo' - as a movie he enjoyed immensely - not a lot of action - but so very appropriate for a BASFA crowd
Chris joshed Jo & then reviewed 'Psych' as a TV series basically about him & that the episode with Shatner makes it worth having cable for & reviewed 'Into the Barn' by Piers Anthony as it proved his eyes could vomit [Dave C commented 'When your eyes bleed, it doesn't count as vomit']
Ric reviewed the 'Invention of Hugo Cabret' by Brian Selznick as a thick book with lots of intricate interior art & incredibly recommended & he reviewed a nest building thermostat as very geeky and expensive but that he's currently testing his out
Jo reviewed the 'Love Potion' as a talent contest/play, done incredibly well - it may be back in April , worth full price
Dave C reviewed Kim Newman's book 'Professor Moriarty' as a 'historical document', lots of fun and full of rip-roaring yarns
[evil] Kevin reviewed a sale at Evil Mad Scientists Laboratory as a blast, he highly recommends their products, check their website = www.evilmadscientist.com
And reviewed the Photoflex sale as it was a good thing they got there before the doors opened because the good stuff went really quickly
Tom reviewed 'Recardiacs Fly' as an awesome band and worth hearing
We then did birthday and regular auctions
we adjourned at 10:05 pm
Rumor of the Week: 'Jo has plans to host Potlatch 25'
