SMOFcon was reviewed as a very fun con, altho Dave C did not do well in the
statistics seminar

Mo reviewed 'Trollhunters' by Guillermo del Toro as good, enjoyable YA
fiction and a fast read

JC reviewed NBC's 'The Wiz' as the first, GOOD, live TV show done in a long
time & reviewed an 'Escape Room' visit as well put together and enjoyable,
then reviewed a game called 'Telestrations' as fun

Loscon was reviewed a lot as some good panels, some less so, a lowish
attendence, no science programming, hotel remodelling making the place
worse, but excellent parties

Alex reviewed 'Marvel's Jennifer Jones' on Netflix as really good & Andy
commented it was good but dark, dark with a side of dark

Tom reviewed a Tiptree symposium as the letters read were interesting and
it was totally worth full price

Brad reviewed Robinson's 'Aurora' as it impressed him

Jon reviewed a free admission day at the SF Exploratorium as worth visiting

we did auctions

and the rumor of the week was:  'Never forget where your pie comes from'
