Reviews:
DaveC reviewed 'The Following' as he's seen too much of it already, Mo
comments that it's a 'how to' for serial killers but Kevin Bacon shines in
it, then Dave reviewed 'Community' as 'it was the cable's fault' & Chris
said it was awesome - then Dave reviewed reports about driving across Texas
as because of these he may not have a table at LonestarCon

Chris reviewed 'Portlandia' as the most awesome thing on TV right now &
reviewed 'Zombie Dice' as he didn't win

Adrienne reviewed 'Amour' as pretty grim - recommends to avoid it &
reviewed 'Argo' as awesome & worth full price, Mo followed, saying it was
accurate and

awesome; then Adrienne reviewed a bunch of short subjects as 'Death of a
Shadow' was good

Mo reviewed doing art [it all looked like the back of panels to me] - as
shrinking the art tightens it up

Jo reviewed sciatica as not worth any price

JC predicted that Spiderman #700 will not be the end of Peter Parker

We did auctions

we adjourned at 9:24 pm

and the rumor of the week was:  'Chris will be a finalist for Pope but lose
to Belgium'
