daughter's birthday, too]

Reviews:
Julie reviewed a BASFA auction CD = 'Enchanted' with a bad track - as
the music is stuck in her head and the CD was worth the auction price
Maureen reviewed the latest Spook Fest as friends gathered, the food was
delicious & it was worth full price - plus she announced that this next
Friday will have showing of 'The Shadow' and 'The Phantom'
Joe reviewed the last half of the final season for 'Battlestar
Galactica' as it was pretty good and worth watching & he reviewed
'Prince Caspian' as a pretty good job, entertaining, quite decent and
definately worth watching [there were some follow-on's]
Howeird reviewed the fireworks from the Shoreline as seen from his
balcony as worth full price, reviewed 'Kung Fu Panda' as he truly
enjoyed it, loved the art style, the score was excellent & it was well
worth full price & reviewed 'Wanted' as they got the title wrong, that
it was Morgan freeman's most boring movie role ever, the score was
atrocious & the best part of the movie was Angelina Jolie being naked
for 5 seconds & rated it as a waste of his time
Fred reviewed Las Vegas Bellagio's Gallery of Fine Arts as the
presentation is absolutely perfect
Adrienne reviewed the fireworks at SJ America as great, the fair was fun
but she advised avoiding booths with long lines that barely moved
Ken reviewed 'Wall-E' as astonishing and worth full price but commented
that the first and 2nd halves of the movie did not mesh well together
Ed reviewed 'Hancock' as a bit unclear and murky but still worth
watching & reviewed 'Saturn's Children' - a book by Charlie Stross was
enjoyable and a fun read
we then did auctions: boxes for $0.50; a mouse for $4.00; a PSP shaped
tin for $2.25; & a book for $0.25
We adjourned at = 8:50 - without a rumor
