*Reviews*:
Fred reviewed Potlatch in Portland as it was rainy, about 125 attended -
that there were good panels, good parties and it was worth more than
full price
Andy reviewed San Jose's Coronation weekend as the Odd Fellows Hall was
rather small for the attendees, but enjoyable - that the actual
coronation started late, the room was packed, the script, show and
performances were excellent - as were the lion dancers - and it ran way
too late, then the PENSWAG meeting on Saturday was lots of fun but they
couldn't stay late & on Sunday they went to a costume academy, which was
well-attended and the minion ribbons were a hit; [evil] Kevin
follow-on'd about the Coronation that he hit all his cues and did 4
costume changes in an hour
Chris reviewed Cinequest as he had a great time and saw great films and
said to search out 'Monster Camp' and 'Blood Car' [saying that Frank Wu
said of it 'wow, that was weird'] & he also enjoyed 'Super Amigos' -
thought it was well worth full price and not getting enough sleep
Adrienne reviewed 'Wild Hogs' as amusing, enjoyable and worth matinee
Harold reviewed 'Earthstorm' - a SciFi channel original as the most
stupid thing he has ever done and worth getting your eyes plucked out to
avoid
Wayne reviewed Ad Astra as it had good guests, had an attendance of
500-600, there were various spirits tastings, a good cheesecake event,
good panels and he had a great time there
We auctioned off a magazine for $0.50; books for $0.25, $5.00 & $0.25 &
a con booklet for $4.00
*We adjourned at =* 9:35
*And the rumor of the week was* that = 'Those of us with hair understood'
