Reviews:
Glenn reviewed getting married last weekend as worth full price - they
had badges and RIBBONS & a WedCon program book!
Chris reviewed 'Get Smart' as a funny action movie & he loves the Rock -
worth full price & reviewed 'The Love Guru' as a standard Mike Myers
film & he made a mistake, seeing it & reviewed the Psychotronic Film
Festival as hilarious and worth more than full price
Dave C reviewed the Psychotronic Film festival as he WAS sterilized with
fear when he encountered his nemesis - the Dave Clark 5 & thought it was
worth full price [there were follow-on's] & he reviewed 'the Fall' as
good - a dark fantasy and worth matinee
Julie reviewed buying BASFA's rumor of the week a few week past - THE
midi board - as she makes them and sells them and they work - worth
twice full price
Joe reviewed a poster for 'Dark Knight' as worth an orgasm looking at
when he stood there on the street

arena is improved and all the robots are back & was worth full price;
then Stellen follow-on'd with the comment that setting opponents on fire
was a perfectly valid tactic
[eil] Kevin reviewed 'Bikini Planet' as not a sexploitation novel
[awwww] and not a crappy book either & he enjoyed it - worth BASFA
auction price & reviewed the Shipwreck Ball as he finished his bamboo
coat & won an award ['meticulously madish macaws'] as worth full price
and he had a wonderful time
Carole reviewed as worth matinee and lots of fun; Bill follow-on'd that
it had a little too much cartoon physics for him [and there were other
follow-on's]
Ken reviewed Kevin & Andy's wedding as short and 'cheaper than ours' and
had more people per square foot
