Reviews
I reviewed 'The Warrior's Way' as having no enough pirates in it, but some
of it was gorgeous and there really was no plot, worth matinee, while Trey
thought it worth cable; then I reviewed Russ Baker's book 'Family of
Secrets' as the Bush clan is SO insidious that I ended up admiring the
bastards, worth hardback.

Mike reviewed the St Georges distillery tour as it was good, except for one
moment of terror & he really enjoyed himself; Lisa followed that she enjoyed
it & Glenn congratulated [evil] Kevin and Andy

Howeird reviewed 'Babes in Toyland' as 2 weeks of his life he'll never get
back and 2 weeks spent in Maui as really worth full price

Dave C reviewed '4 Lions' as a very black comedy about idiots wanting to be
terrorists, worth full price

SMOFcon was reviewed = [tall] Kevin said 139 people attended from 4
continents and it went far better than expected; Josh follow-on'd that it
was fantastic for him and he learned a lot; Norman agreed; Adrienne
follow-on'd that it was very interesting and she loved the con suite; Dave C
said he enjoyed the con and enjoyed the panels; Mo follow-on'd that she
feels Silicon has benefited from what she's learned from it; Lisa
follow-on'd that she loved the panels and con suite; Andy follow-on'd that
the whole con was like a Dead Dog party and he enjoyed the off-site
excursions; [tall] Kevin follow-on'd that the next SMOFcon is in Amsterdam &
Glenn said he had a good time


Then we did auctions – birthday auctioned off Kate to Norman for $10.00;
birthday auctioned off Howeird to himself for $12.00; birthday auctioned off
Sandra to Dave C for $31.00 =  then auctioned off books for $2.00 & $8.00;
