Reviews
Andy reviewed Wendy Pini's 'Masque of the Red Death' as he has mixed
feelings for it, but still worth reading & reviewed Melodi Festivalen as
mostly pretty good & still worth strealing

I reviewed a sampler of scents from ZOMG http://www.zomgsmells.com as a very
nice website with a fun way to order samples; some I ordered were odd,
others wonderful & none were terrible - a worthwhile place to check out

[tall] Kevin reviewed Corflu as its 28th year & he had fun there & the video
of the play he helped out with should be online - check the link on the
corflu page [http://corflu.org] and worth what he paid; Lisa reviewed Corflu
as tons of fun; Fred follow-on'd that he had a good time there; Tom
follow-on'd that the brass sheets were harder than his cobalt drill bit; Ian
commented about the con as another example of cultural imperialism & Julie
commented that heat softens brass

Dav G reviewed the SF Giants' fan fest as he got in and it was a lot of fun
on a gorgeous day & he reviewed the National Ignition Facilitt [aka 'nothing
but lasers'] at the Lawrence Livermore Labs as there were 192 lasers & they
have a free app = search for LLNL & that it was OMGPonies cool!

Ian reviewed a review, secondhand, about 'Harry Potter & the Half Cocked
Prince' as 'dear god why' - but in the best way possible & that it's
gloriously online = http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1929138/HarryPotter.m4v

The rumor of the week was [frelling long]: ......
     'if Chris is BASFA's answer to Columbo, it must've been a damn fool
question'
