rides, good food, LOTS of animals - definitely worth full price
Adrienne reviewed seeing a TV pilot screening [of investigative sarcasm]
as 52 minutes of 'rather silly', as interesting and new to her
Harold reviewed trying to ride a bike trail as not worth full price,
that bike helmets ARE worth full price & Blue Cross health insurance is
'not worth a damn' & reviewed 'Son of Rambo' as worth bargain matinee;
reviewed a French film 'Roman d'Guerre' as worth bargain matinee;
reviewed 'Mongol' as pretty good; reviewed 'The Hulk' as wow - he loved
it & reviewed 'Wanted' as fun & worth bargain matinee. [There were
follow-on's]
Julie reviewed 'Wall-E' as a Pixar film & worth full price - then

reviewed the New Zealander as his favorite pub in the area, reviewed the
St Georges Spirits open house as fantastic & *hey* they had booze there
& reviewed the 'Venture Brothers, season 2' as of Hamlet quality -
perfectly awesome
Andy reviewed the St Georges Spirits open house as the proof was in the
tasting and it was very interesting and a mob scene - totally worth full
price and a wonderful way to kill an afternoon ['and a lot of brain
cells' added [evil] Kevin]
Dave C reviewed getting the first of the 'left behind' series from his
sister as a gift and then *really* reviewed a SciFi channel show -
'Jonathan something' as he can't remember the full title and it was a
dreary thing to see, [tall] Kevin asked 'It was too bad for Skiffy?' &

Gear' is wonderful & worth full price
Howeird reviewed the John Denver 2 CD set of greatest hits as it will be
up for auction

book but that he prays to god there won't be another book in the series
& rates it as worth buying for Chris as a BASFA auction
[tall] Kevin reviewed 'Aoi Mitsuki' as a 13 episode anime series - very
silly, he liked it and definitely worth full price & also reviewed
'Cosplay Complex' as an incomplete 3 episode anime OAV - it was fun and
also silly
Trey reviewed the play 'Twelfth Night' in SJ as it was very good for an
amateur theater group, worth the time he spent there
