Announcements
[evil] Kevin announced that this year's Gay Rodeo at Driscoll Ranch is
happening this coming weekend


Reviews:
Worldcon was reviewed = Andy said Denvention was far better than it
had any right to be, that there were problems, but few of them were
obvious, the Masquerade was marvellous, the convention center food
service stank on ice but the building was beautiful - Denver itself
was fabulous [and there were various food expedition adventures] and
all in all it was worth full price; [evil] Kevin reviewed it as that
he worked much harder on the con than he expected to do, that Wil
McCarthy as Toastmaster was wonderful, that he drank a bit, didn't get
enough sleep & had a good time; Fred commented that the various
eateries he tried were good, the Hyatt Regency had their act together,
Registration needed MUCH better signage and he still had a good time

I reviewed 'Mummy 3' as very pretty to look at but very frothy when it
came to plot, worth matinee, reviewed an Angels/Orioles game as fun to
attend and even though the Angels lost it was still a great outing;
Trey follow-on'd that he had a good time, got the tickets for a great
price and commented favorably about Angel stadium and the game

Trey also reviewed Disneyland as best visited while accompanying a
10-12 year old, that the 'Summer of a million dreams' fast passes were
wonderful and he walked around so much he got blisters on both feet -
worth full price

[evil] Kevin reviewed the 3 dead tree books of Howard Tayler's
'Schlock Mercenary' series as great fun and sill space opera

Eric reviewed Laguna Beach's 'Pageant of the Masters' and the Arts and
Sawdust Festival as immensely fun and worth more than full price

we failed to auction a bookcase

We adjourned at = 9:12

And the rumor of the week was: 'wow'
