These are basically little film festivals where AMC shows all the Best Picture

on Mo's medical treatment. She's getting better, but it's slow going.

license.
Reviews:
Fred went to Potlatch 23
in Seattle last weekend. The Book of Honor was the June 2014 issue of
Lightspeed and he recommends the short

JC reviewed Chris and
Vanessa's wedding as lots of fun with loads of food.
We skipped auctions to
allow time to work on the BASFA Hugo Recommendations.
