Minor corrections, kindly addressed: 
>> Ric reviewed the 'Fringe' series finale as he really enjoyed it & 
>> herecommends a new comic called 'The Highway' by John Byrne as hard sf &also 
>> recommended a manga series 'The Drops of God' as really excellent
Byrne's comic is called "The High Ways" which is a perfectly reasonable mistake 
innot taking my pausing to mean two words here.  By the way, it's hard sci-fi 
somewhatrealistic space stuff:

Reviews:
Dave C reviewed 'Hansel ^ Gretel' as less than he expected - like watching a 
faster, less witty 'Xena' episode & reviewed 'King of the Nerds' as unfortunate

Mike reviewed 'Draw me a Story' as excellent and worth full price & to check 
out www.museumsoflosgatos.org - it's there thru Feb 24

Bradford reviewed Washington DC as great to hold an inauguration in - the trip 
as a whole was excellent & he had a great time; & he reviewed that Oxford Press 
has released an 11-volume history of sf as good but they left out some cogent 
information 

Tom reviewed '1312' by Robinson as a weird but good book, worth paperback & 
reviewed 'HMS Pinafore TNG' as worth full price - a beautiful production & 
those speaking to this agreed

Ric reviewed the 'Fringe' series finale as he really enjoyed it & he recommends 
a new comic called 'The Highway' by John Byrne as hard sf & also recommended a 
manga series 'The Drops of God' as really excellent

JC reviewed 'Movie 43' as all kinds of wrong and hysterically funny ['Something 
Awful' gave it a 0 of 50 rating] - rated as YMMV & Mo has only seen previews of 
it and says 'it looks like the kind of movie that would make her retch'

[evil] Kevin reviewed the Retrodome farewell shindig as wonderful and sad and 
poignant & reviewed the 20th Century remake of 'Hidden Fortress' big-screen 
showing as the recent CGI additions were disappointing - [tall] Kevin pointed 
out the showing was quite literally priceless

Ken reviewed the Retrodome's closing as very sentimental

Chris reviewed '6 Guns for Snow White' as amazing & spectacular

John reviewed Unwoman as she does really beautiful cello songs - definitely 
worth attending & buying her music

We did auctions

we adjourned at 9:40 pm

and the rumor of the week was:  'bacon is not meat - it is pig candy'
