Reviews:
Dave C reviewed Gail Carriger's book 'Souless' as a book of manners & worth
full price & reviewed 'House' a 1977 Japanese film as a very strange splatter
flick, sort of like 'Wes Craven's Scooby Doo' & then reviewed his parking space
in the Castro on a busy Saturday night, 100' from the theatre as it proves he
is blessed by macadam
Glenn reviewed tasty concepts & work-related food poisoning as unpleasant and
that better stuff was better
Julie reviewed Jonathan Pryce as definitely worth full price & a Dr Who
Confidential along with the 'The Curse of the Red Death' was exceptional & that
"very Annie Mary' is still a favorite Jonathan Pryce film of here
[evil] Kevin reviewed a syphilis channel version of 'Riverworld' as he saw it
so that none of us have to
Mo reviewed 2 books, #s 1 & 6 of the Aunt Dimity series by Nancy Atherton as
really sweet, with some clever bits with cookie recipes, but not really worth
full price
Ken reviewed reviews ['volcanic cloud of death']
Lynn reviewed MySQL as good swag, good prizes and she had a decent time
we did auctions: birthday auctioned off Julie Porter for $2.00 to me; then
Coco coupons for $4.00 & $1.00
We adjourned at = 9:23
And the rumor of the week was: 'We meant the other Mount Doom'
