Reviews:
Further Confusion was multiply reviewed - Chris reviewed it as ConXtreme 
had a great room party & FurCon was the same as every other con he went 
to at the Doubletree - with slightly more tails, that he lost his badge, 
sat a fan table, saw Furry Night Live & Conrad live and singing & 
thought it worth the $25 he paid for a 1-day membership; Andy mentioned 
the ‘Drama Llama’ & thought the con was quite good despite the 
[censored] & that Scott’s Evil Petting Zoo was popular & the party was a 
hit and the Masquerade had a fair amount of chaos, but no more than 
usual & FNL was funny as hell & worth sponsor membership price just to 
get in the short line; [evil] Kevin reviewed taking part in FNL as 
great, worth full price but that the food at the Coffee Garden was vile 
& loathsome & sucked rocks - totally not acceptable & I reviewed FC as I 
survived, am Co-chair for FC ’08 & the theme will be the ‘Fur East’, so 
Orient yourself towards furry fandom & then [evil] Kevin follow-on’d 
that because of the theme they will have the ‘Fiendish Party of Dr. Moo 
Manchu; then Lisa reviewed FC as she sat the CostumeCon fan table, that 
her food wasn’t too bad, although the food service was brain dead & her 
son adored the Gaming room, that the Art Show was good & that both book 
sellers in the Dealer’s Den were darned good. It was mentioned that 
there were 287 fursuiters in the parade & a membership total of 2064. 
Then Dave C reviewed FC as he was in Dealers the whole time & got food 
poisoning from the food & had very good sales - due to Dr Who, Season 2 
having just come out, plus he doubted many hetero males were at-son 
based on specific sales of items at his table & Trey reviewed FC as that 
everyone he saw seemed to be having a good time

Dave G reviewed a Xena Creationcon he and Spring were at - as jewelry 
sales were down, it was about 95% female & it wasn’t worth the price of 
admission.

Harold reviewed the ‘Dresden Files’ as he enjoyed it & he will watch it 
again & it inspired him to buy one of the nooks & he reviewed ‘The Worst 
People in the World’ by as a good book & worth full price - with a discount

Chris reviewed pop cultures associates various Top 5 lists as very nice

Dave C reviewed the ‘Dresden Files’ as nice, but not very special & also 
reviewed a promo ad on KSJC that was full of puns as fun [and he prepaid 
for the puns]

Howeird reviewed the Playboy Fabulous 40’s as it was full of nekkid 
ladies & he reviewed a book - ‘A Crack at the Edge of the World’ by 
Simon Winchester as stunningly written & worth more than full price

We auctioned off books for $15.00; $2.00, $2.00, a catalog for $10.00 & 
an abomination for $1.75

We adjourned at = 9:42 pm

And the rumor of the week was that = ‘Chris will be wrapped in plastic’
