Reviews:
Joe reviewed Ancient Way festival as fun, the location is new, but shows
promise & reviewed a concert of Dresden Dolls and Vermillion Lies as he
enjoyed it and plans to get their CDs
Andy reviewed the NW Leather Assoc *hotel* as the Domain is a boutique
hotel, good for a 200-400 person convention & the atrium is really neat,
definitely worth the price & [evil] Kevin reviewed the event as he got
to be a hero without needing to plan for it & he filled in as the
emergency holographic [lots of vital things]
Harold reviewed 'Homo Politicus' by Dana Milbank as a humorous take off
on an anthropological text, worth full price; reviewed the Annie
Lievowitz photo exhibit as barely worth what he paid for it & reviewed
'Prince Caspian' as violent & dark, he enjoyed it & rates it as worth
bargain matinee; I follow-on'd that I thought it was a good adaptation
of the book and thought it worth full price; Trey enjoyed it but thought
the adaptation left too many gaping holes, tho it was visually
spectacular, worth matinee
Glenn reviewed the *book* 'Prince Caspian' as he found it hard to enjoy;
there were various follow-ons, including a great analogy to yaoi
Chris reviewed the week as a being all about him & reviewed Jack Handy's
'What I want to tell the Martians' as brilliantly funny; & reviewed the
Simpsons, season 10 as very fun stuff
Fred reviewed an interactive art installation called Homouroboros in
SJ's Discovery Meadows as lots of fun & for more information check
www.blackrockarts.org/projects/homouroboros
Ed reviewed 'Mother of Demons' by Eric Flint as he enjoyed it a great
deal * worth full price
Ken reviewed PBS Showcase Work in Desert Springs as it was hot & sandy &
he got swag & worth full price since it was paid for by work
Mike reviewed 'Redbelt' as amazing cool stuff with mixed martial arts &
worth full price
Andy reviewed www.con-x-treme.com as amusing fiction, especially their
'about us' & history pages
