rich, in comparison

Chris reviewed 'The Navidad Incident' by Natsuki Ikezawa as pretty freaking
awesome & reviewed a couple short films as bizarre &/or awesome

Josh reviewed 'Hansel & Gretel' as once he got over the parts he hated, he
enjoyed himself - it was entertaining and silly

Tom reviewed 2 cons held at the same time, like an Ace double - Foolscap
and Potlatch 23 - as awesome & a lot of fun & the programme book was
innovative and

might be legible by next year

Fred reviewed a play, 'Ching Chong Chinaman' at City Lights as it got
progressively better as it went on - intense and eventually

Andy reviewed being sick as not worth the price & reviewed the run-up to
Eurovision as complete madness & worth stealing

Dave C reviewed 'Rule 34' by Charles Stross as a very peculiar but good
book, worth full hardback price

Carole reviewed Conflict as a fun filking con, worth full price & Bill
followed, also enjoyed it

Bill also reviewed 'Argo' as highly recommended and worth full price

We did auctions
