Reviews:
[evil] Kevin reviewed another awful movie seen so you don't have to =
'Sharktopus' - as sooooo bad that the movie host was making fun of it & the
movie was ghastly & also reviewed the 'Astroboy' movie was nice and worth
cable

I reviewed 'Resident Evil 4' as not as good as '3', that parts were
enjoyable but the ending was poor & it was worth matinee - but we had paid
full price & I reviewed 'I am Legend' - the Will Smith version - as well
done, but not a movie to be watching alone when one's sweetie has been sent
out of state

Bob reviewed the 'Ikinook reader' as very good;  reviewed moving as it sucks
even if you only have one car worth of stuff &  reviewed the California
Academy of Science as he waited in a 2 hour line and heard it was a 4 hour
wait for others &  reviewed #Aus4 online as fun but virtual con crud was not
fun

Ed reviewed Weber's 'Mission of Honor' as he enjoyed it - and also enjoyed
KFC's double down [tall Kevin noted 'evil tastes good, that's why it's
evil']

Dave C  reviewed the SF Friends of the Library book sale as that he found a
book there 'Super Constitution' by Charles Kim as it has bad dialog, bad
science, bad sf - and 'is a keeper'

[tall] Kevin reviewed Aussiecon 4 and the travelling he did there as worth
everything he paid for it - and follow-ons pretty much agreed with him

Ken reviewed 'Easy A' as an enjoyable little fill, worth full price and
recommended

Dave G reviewed New Zealand as worth full price, highly recommended &
reviewed 'I eat your Skin' 'so you didn't have to'


We did auctions – birthday auctioned Geri off for $5.00 to Ken;  books for
$1.00,  $0.75,  $0.15,  $0.25;  magazine for $0.25;  taffy for $0.10,
$0.10;  and Usagi books for $10.00, $0.25 & $5.00

The rumor of the week was: 'Trey may be back next week'
