Reviews:
Dude#10 reviewed the latest Dr Who episode as flawed but still worth
stealing

Dude#12 reviewed Robogames as Thinbot came back with the gold - the C3PO
medal & it was great fun & Thinbot will next be pouring at the Nebula awards

Dudette #2 reviewed Peter Beagle's birthday as a good time was had and a
digital re-rendered print of 'The Last Unicorn' was shown & will now be
taken on a world tour

Dude#9 reviewed that one of his daughters helped sing the National anthem
at a Friday Sabercats game, did well, but there were lots of really loud
pyrotechnics there that were psychologically jarring & then also performed
on Saturday and did really well

Dudette#3 reviewed 'Oblivion' as 'purty' and worth matinee

Dude#2 reviewed 'stuff' and 'things' as amazing and awesome and may have
used human tears, then said Lynda found some fabric right away & then
reviewed 'Mister Badass' as he is the perfect man

Dude#7 reviewed the SJ Songkran festival as he didn't get wet enough & it
was bright/sunny without shade - which is why he is glowing now; it was
free but he would've paid for it

Dude#13 reviewed Hodder's 'Expedition to the Mountains of the Moon' as more
alternate history steampunk - a fascinating read and worth trade paperback

Dudette #4 reviewed the World Book Night as she is blown away by it and
it's awesome & reviewed 'The Tender bar by JR Moehringer as she highly
recommends the book and the whole process of book donation

Dude#14 reviewed the Eton conference - delivered a paper there that was
well-received and he may have been the only historian there & this may be
good because he remembers there was a past - and he had fun and met John
Landis

then we did auctions

we adjourned at 9:45 pm

and the rumor of the week was:  'JC is developing a new game - boob bingo'
