I suggested that everyone go buy Skyrin
Reviews:
I reviewed Ryk Spoor's book - 'Grand Central Arena' as an immensely good read, with entertaining and well-drawn characters that I liked; go buy this book ... and buy Skyrim too ^_^
Adrienne reviewed 'China Stix' on Scott & ElCamino as having very good food and they also do dim sum; she likes that they let you make orders off the menu; it was worth full price and recommended
Ed reviewed 'Thai Bodia' as recommended, they serve both Thai and Cambodian fare, he also reviewed 'Real Steel' as a movie with crappy science but good human interest and still found it fun, worth matinee & he reviewed Weber's latest book in the Armageddon Reef series as worth paperback
Mo reviewed an audio book of 'The Story of Edgar Sawtelle' by David Wroblewski as it had promise but disappointed her overall; she has also seen 2 movies recently which were gorgeous to look at, but lacking in story or decent plot to the point that she felt abused - the 2 films being 'Immortals' & 'The 3 Musketeers' [tho it was phrased as 'The 3 bad-done Steampunk Musketeers'] - Dann followed that he was also disappointed by these movies - there were good bits but more than 70% of each movie was poorly done & neither were worth matinee
[evil] Kevin reviewed braving the dragons & tasting wine at ConCannon winery and highly recommends it as worth full price
Chris reviewed a Locus party as they had the best and creepiest award ever there - the 'World Fantasy award' - he enjoyed cheese there & he reviewed Saturine as the best masked wrestler idea ever
Diana reviewed a book as techno-geek stuff that she enjoyed
Sandra reviewed a trailer for 'MIB 3' as nice eye candy
Dave C reviewed 'Hugo' as worth going out to see - 'it will make you better people' & reviewed the OC Discovery Science TacoBell center as not worth the $25 he paid for it & reviewed 'Cartoon Dump' in Hollywood as the worst possible cartoon ideas & worth full price
Andy reviewed 'Burrito Bison' as a really good bad video game - worth having the internet to get access to it
Eric reviewed the Kindle Fire & Nook as difficult to use with normal fingers
We then did birthday and regular auctions
we adjourned at 9:30 pm
Rumor of the Week: 'Chris Garcia will be named the new chief of the Fanboy Investigators'
