Reviews:
[evil] Kevin reviewed 'Pleasure Unwoven' a very good video about
neurochemical addition - and mentioned it's available on Youtube

Adrienne reviewed 'Warm Bodies' as she enjoyed it - but would've liked an
explanation for the zombie cause & recommends it, worth full price

JC reviewed 'Oz the Great & Powerful' as seen in 3d & well done; several
others commented that they enjoyed it - good, even if it is unlikely to
have the staying power of 'the 1939 film'

Mo reviewed 'House on the Border Lands' by William Hope Hodson as it
weirded her out and is worth full price - and she also took a class in
making Venetian masks - the teacher was very good & will offer another
class in Campbell in May - check carladequant.com

Chris reviewed Cinequest as awesome & Ken pretty much agreed

Fred reviewed FogCon as he enjoyed it - it's a con focused on literature &
ideas; Brad also enjoyed himself, Andy enjoyed it - thought it
simultaneously silly and serious & Diane thought it was a nice little con &
she had fun there

Lisa reviewed '7 Stars Bar & Grill' 398 S.Bascom - as lots of fun &
decorated in a Star Wars theme


we adjourned at 9:32 pm

and the rumor of the week was:  'Chris Garcia for Pope'
