Reviews:
Josh reviewed the Khan exhibit at the Tech Museum as he found it
entertaining

I reviewed 'RED' as it was lots of fun, a marvellous movie with the actors
doing a great job – and worth full price; Chris follow-on'd that he thought
it was the best movie he's seen this year & Trey follow-on'd that the
casting was amazing & delightful

Mo reviewed seeing 10 episodes of an old TV show called 'Veil' [with Boris
Karloff] as she recommends it and it was kinda spooky – plus Chris also
recommended the internet archives as he saw a 30's Russian movie there
called 'Aerograd'

Julie reviewed season 4 of the Sarah Jane Adventures as dark and moody &
reviewed cleaning her storage unit as there's a lot still to do there &
commented that old videotapes from there – the Poldark series – that they
have held up well & are still fun to watch & she went to a tech trade show
and got to hold a best picture Oscar

Chris commented that he did a lot of TV watching & he reviewed watching 'The
Phantom Creeps' as it was worth having Mo buy it for him & reviewed creating
the pizza burger taco as a delicious greasy piece of goodness  - and Dann
gave Chris a copy of 'Rock & Roll Wrestling Women vs the Aztec Ape'

Ken's brain is all melty – but he reviewed the Lobotronic Film Festival as
they got great parking & it was seen in conjunction with visiting a lot of
outlet shops & it was a great evening

'Bob' reviewed the 'So you think you can Dance' auditions in Oakland as good
and entertaining

Andy reviewed the Alternative Press Expo  as laden with small presses and
authors – all very polite – and they saw lots of folks they knew, worth full
price and worth going to; Dave C follow-on'd that APE is showing more furry
artists

Dave C also reviewed the Northern Calif independent Book Sellers Assoc as an
intimate affair and many of its publishers went to APE instead & he reviewed
'Draculas' excerpts as written with extreme hype & 'it's such a sh*tty
story' ['blood, blood, blood, blood']

[evil] Kevin reviewed the Esther Pinto at 22nd and Valencia as they found
good parking & the food was quite good & he reviewed 'writers with drinks'
as he had a good time & the bar was 'crack-tacular' & he reviewed a Syfy
flick 'Night of the Living Dead – Rave to the Grave' as rotten to the core
and not even worth cable

Diane reviewed a Spanish version of 'Dancing with the Stars' as the dancing
was horrific & reviewed 'Exodus' by Julie Bertagna as an enjoyable thriller

Then we did auctions – a poster for $0.25;  books for $0.50, $0.75, $0.25,
$0.25, 0.25,   & $0.75 & $1.00 & DVDs for $1.00 & $0.75
