Reviews:
I reviewed the Sting & Annie Lennox concert at the Shoreline as the
music was worth full price; but that the audience rather spoiled the
performance, but it was worth being taken to for free
Cheryl reviewed Swiss-nex as very excellent - with free food & lots of
writers, plus Swiss aerospace experts - free to attend and more than
worth full price
Frank reviewed 'Mister 3000' as not nearly as funny as the previews -
marginally amusing - worth DVD rental if someone else is paying
We auctioned off stuff = a book & poster for $0.55; a different book &
poster for $2.00; 2 magazines with Frank Wu interior art for $1.50; & a
book for $5.00
We adjourned at = 8:44 pm
