Corrections:
It was Charles N. Brown who died.
The walking tour I'm organizing for Anticipation is a ghost walking tour. Lots
of history and ghost folklore.
Adrienne

[tall] Kevin announced that Lisa DID make it home

Reviews:
[tall] Kevin reviewed Westercon as a fine convention, albeit hot - then after
con there were 3 days of van and plane drama - and did he mention it was HOT?
He and Lisa really liked 'My Big Fat Greek Restaurant' that they got to know
FAR too well; Dave C agreed that it was hot & he was not impressed by the food
in Tempe & Andy mentioned that FiestaCon is almost certainly in the black
Glenn reviewed the SFSFC meeting as good - and the BBQ was incredible, he did
lots of Westercon 64 stuff and had a good time
Dave C reviewed funerals as Billy Mays is everywhere and that he got outgeeked
at a sf trivia panel game & reviewed the food at the Harris Ranch coffee shop
as Sizzler-like
Andy reviewed the fan fic crowd for Torchwood as bug fuck crazy and reviewed
the Obon festival [their costumes sounded GREAT] as there was lots of taiko, he
ate at Kumako Ramen and had curry crab ramen that was to DIE for - and all was
definitely worth full price and recommended
Henry reviewed the Computer History Museum's curator as awesome and he learned
a lot from the tour and recommends it
Conner reviewed 'Rejected' as very impressive and twisted & reviewed 'Blazblue'
as a very pretty 2D fighter - and the kitty character sounds like fun
Chris reviewed 'Forever Plaid' as the group was just fantastic and the camera
work less so; he saw more 'Twilight' and reviewed 'I Love you Beth Cooper' as a
cute and entertaining flick - reviewed the TV show 'Dance Your Ass Off' as
possibly the worst program ever, did some writing and reviewed a copy of the
1979 Guiness Book of World Sports Records as he had colored in it - and it was
possibly a way-overdue library book
Ken reviewed 'Stacks' in downtown Campbell [closes at 2pm] as very good - he
had a chocolate chip Belgium waffle - worth full price and recommended &
reviewed Torchwood 'Children of Earth' as a must see
Adrienne reviewed 'Medium, Season 1' as 'well done' - and better than 'Ghost
Whisperer'
Trey reviewed Comcast as full of fail, as he couldn't see the replay of the
Sanchez no-hitter - and reviewed 'Warehouse 13' as not completely terrible
we did auctions: books and stuff for $4.00 and a 4-box set of Science for
$5.00
We adjourned at = 9:49 pm in memory of Charlie Brown
And the rumor of the week was: Celebrity deaths usually come in 3's, trust
Billy Mays to throw in an extra one for free
