tickets
[evil] Kevin announced that IBM is sending him to speak to the press
next week - to explain spintronics
*Reviews*:
Harold reviewed 'The Host', a thinking man's monster move and a bit of a
parody as it has the ugliest monster in it he's ever seen, as funny and
worth bargain matinee
Chris reviewed the DVD of 'Casino Royale' as kick-assedly-awesome and
the extras are excellent, especially the Bond Girls featurette and
recommends it as perfect
Adrienne reviewed 'Amazing Grace' as she enjoyed it, said it has good
costumes and recommends it if you like historical stuff
[evil] Kevin reviewed giving the keynote address at the Latino College
Preparatory Academy as he was expected to be inspiring [and it sounded
as though he succeeded] and rated the experience as worth full price
Dave C reviewed a CD by Artichoke, 'Never Mind the Bollocks, it's the
Sex Pistols' - as based on the 30-second previews he could get on
Amazon, he didn't buy it and said the songs made him drowsy; there were
follow-on's, with Trey eventually saying, 'I don't understand all this
self-inflicted pain'
Trey reviewed '300' as the font of all manliness and those seeking
historical accuracy need not apply [and there was much talk of rouged
nipples] - but there were some neat scenes and worth - well, it's a rental
We auctioned off a poster for $2.00; cards for $1.25, a book for $4.25 &
birthday auctioned off Spring to Dave for $15.00
*We adjourned at =* 9:09
*And the rumor of the week was* that = 'That the RWA wants Kevin
Standlee to administer their awards next year' [with a final vote on
that being 25 for and 6 opposed]
