Reviews:
Glenn reviewed 'being on KFJC live radio [with Dave C & Kevin S] as a lot of
fun & reviewed Guy Gavriel Kay's book 'Tigana' as larger in scope & really
well written

Dave C reviewed 'Pirates 4' as lacking the coherancy of plot of 'At World's
End' & worth matinee, there were follow-ons & Chris commented that it had a
lot of the elements from Powers' book 'On Stranger Tides' and was mostly fun
& that 3 cents of every ticket goes to Tim Powers

Howeird reviewed 'The Tavern', seen at Lohman Theatre at Foothill College as
most of the cast was quite good & reviewed 'Pirates 4' as Penelope Cruz wore
too much clothing, that Depp was amusing & mentioned mermaid bondage as
'fishy' - he recommends seeing it in 2D

Chris reviewed seeing Evelyn in a school theatre thing as 'play-writers
should be strangled' - then reviewed seeing 2 seasons of 'True Blood' as it
saved us all from the Rapture & considered it as 'Twi-like' with more
boobage

Jo reviewed the NorthWest Leather Celebration as 'striking' & reviewed being
in Joplin, Missouri a week before their tornado and here this week as
priceless

Carole reviewed Maker's Faire as people loved her coat & it was worth the
price of admission, but the faire seemed to lack the energy it had in year's
past

Mo reviewed Maker's Faire as greatg & she had a great time there

Harold reviewed watching boxing on HBO as it was a good fight & reviewed
'Priest' as 'not an actively evil movie' but so predictable that if you
can't figure out what is going to happen then you should be ashamed of
yourself & it was not worth paying for & he reviewed seeing a copy of the
'Magna Carta'  from 1217 at the DeYoung Museum as cool

We did auctions:   books for $1.25, $0.50, $0.25, $1.00, $0.25, $1.00,
$1.00, $0.25 & $0.25;    magazines for $0.25, $0.25, $0.25, $1.50, $0.25 &
$0.25 &  Tshirts for $1.00 & $1.00

Rumor of the Week:  'Well there was no Rapture today, so we'll put another
$100 in the jackpot for tomorrow'
