signed Terry Pratchett hat
Reviews:
Chris reviewed ‘Red Eye’ as fairly good & reviewed ‘Just Like Heaven’ as
a very cute chic flick well worth full price - including paying for his date
Goat dressing was reviewed as one of the silly and stupid things that
happens at gay rodeos and was described as quite silly & delightful
Dave C reviewed the NASFIC ‘Goth Ball’ as dark and deadly and serious -
with waltzing - as very lightly attended
Jim reviewed the Accelerating Change conference as it had 2 SF writers
as speakers & was very good - completely sold out & max’d out the
convention facilities
Julie did her review in partial pirate patois & reviewed ‘The Ghost
Belonged to Me’ as a book worth re-reading once a year
Kevin [Roche] reviewed ‘The Brothers Grimm’ as too dark to see at a
drive-in theatre [but it sounded like they had fun speculating what was
occurring on the black on black screen] - and thought the film not worth
the price of admission
We auctioned off stuff = books for $1.00, $1.00, $3.50, $3.50; an action
figure for $0.25; magazines for $1.00 & $1.00 - & birthday auctions off
