Reviews:
Glenn reviewed poison oak as worth negative full price & was not a lot

[Andy: 'that's the IMAX of monitors!'], then he read to us & reviewed
CC26 as he worked it and still has a good time
Dave G reviewed visiting Denver and seeing the venue for Denvention's
Events looks excellent and gives him hope - it's very nice and the trip
was fun
Julie reviewed the Babbage engine at the Computer History Museum as it
was nice to go there and be able to see it, she was there in costume -
as were a number of others & there was a lot of enthusiasm - worth full
price and the price of a museum membership - that there were between
1500-1800 people there; Chris follow-on'd that he had a blast; Andy
reviewed it as a mob scene & a very nice display
Harold reviewed 'Iron Man' as great - go see it & reviewed 'Speed Racer'
as more entertaining than he expected, brilliantly garish, fun & worth
bargain matinee; Trey follow-on'd that the Mach 5 knows kung fu
Chris reviewed 'Down with Love' as hilarious, 'Tombstone' as wonderful &
reviewed 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure' as the best time travel
movie 'evar'; Julie follow-on'd - making an analogy between Bill & Ted
and Dr Who [that worked], there were follow-ons about Doc Holiday & Ed
said to see all the 'Iron Man' credits for the cookie [??]
Andy said he'd done most of his reviews as follow-ons & made comments
about themes in Dr Who & actually reviewed the Penswag Fashion Show last
Sunday as it went very well and was sold out [there were follow-ons]

well-run and there was lots of lovely clothing
