Reviews:
 
Valerie thought that the Hunger Games books were an enjoyable post apocalyptic 
trilogy.
 
Glenn said that up next on sports.com has some really amusing videos.
                Leprecon was a real relaxed convention and pleasant. Nothing 
bad happened to him enroute when he was being patted down by the TSA. He had a 
good time in Arizona.
 
Adrienne reviewed the 1951 movie Rhubarb as worth seeing. The animals give 
amazing performances and it has a very young Leonard Nimoy playing one of the 
ball players.
 
Harold said the Mosley fight was really boring.
 
Carole reviewed CostumeCon in New Jersey as decent, but she had an issue with 
one of the masquerade judges. The next CostumeCon will be in Phoenix.
                Andy was non-committal about his Continental flight. Their Tiki 
Dalek won an award and has been invited to be an exhibit at Renovation. He said 
CostumeCon was worth going to Hasbrook Heights, NJ.
                Kevin judged the historical masquerade and despite feeling a 
little out of his element, was aware of details the others weren't. He doesn't 
want to do this every year.
 
MO reviewed an exhibit at ATAP (All Things Are Possible) as remarkable. Eight 
students were given the same art assignment and seeing how they interpreted it 
was put on display. She was impressed and highly recommends it. It's small and 
open to the public. Really worth full price.
 
Dann says a YouTube video called "Swing Girls" is awesome and well worth 
looking up.
 
Fred went to a SF in SF gathering and highly recommends it.
 
Chris saw Thor and enjoyed it until he saw J. Michael Strazcynski did the 
story. Worth a little better than matinee.
                He thought "A Fistful of Paintballs" on Community is the 
greatest TV episode ever.
                He also said that another YouTube video, "Roll a D6," is genius 
and worth having a computer.
 
 
We did auctions.
 
 
Rumor of the Week:
 
"It will be picking marine mammal out of its teeth for decades."
 
 
Adjourned 9:41 p.m.
