Reviews:
Julie reviewed 'Enchanted' as forgettable - but much better than 'Black 
Cauldron', reviewed a biography of Werner vonBraun as worth readying, 
reviewed season 1 of the 'Sara Jane Adventures' as still worth stealing 
[then there was a mild theological debate]

[evil] Kevin reviewed a moon party as too girlish & reviewed episode 1 
of 'Tin Man' as better than "Flash Gordon'

Lisa reviewed 'Enchanted' as she enjoyed it & it was worth matinee

Kelli reviewed the Survival Research party for Todd Blair as very 
elaborate and worth full price

Chris reviewed Kickboxer' as Jean Claude Van Damme's 'Citizen Kane', 
reviewed 'Snakes on a Plane' as if he ever sees 'such a beautifully made 
movie again' [and then never finished the sentence - my brain shut off 
for a bit and when I focused on him again he was reviewing Evelyn's 
imperfect brain washing as worth full price

Fred reviewed 'Bladerunner' - the recut version - as better than the 
original release & recommends it & reviewed 'Robots Rebellion' by Keith 
Stanovitch as worth reading

Harold reviewed 'No Country for Old Men' as it doesn't have a satisfying 
conclusion, he still recommends it for matinee & reviewed having gout as 
don't get it

Adrienne reviewed the first book in Tanya Huff's 'Blood Ties' vampire 
series as it held her attention and was worth buying at paperback price

Dave C reviewed 'Darkness Tell Us' by Richard Layman as worth donating 
to BASFA auction; reviewed Orycon as wild, untamed, under-organized & 
reviewed Loscon as more profitable and he liked it more & reviewed LA's 
'Cartoon Dump' as the greatest thing ever and worth the $10 he paid

Dave G reviewed 'Guitar Hero' as a good reason to buy a Wii

Then we auctioned off a book for $4.50 [for Chris], fanzines for $2.00 & 
a program book for $2.25

We adjourned at = 9:33

And the rumor of the week was that = ‘Chris is BASFAn for soup'
