episode ever made [and the review is made of people] - also reviewed 'The

'okay', then Dave also reviewed the UK magazine 'Clint' as the name can be
mis-viewed to humorous effect

Howeird reviewed the Dragon theatre as this and next week they have a
progressive play development there and it's interesting on how the play has

packed into a 90 minute show' - and very boring

JC reviewed Fanime as packed with people & ridiculously & he's glad the con
has grown

ended on a cliff-hanger & is ended until Spring of 2014 - that she enjoyed
it but does NOT enjoy the need to wait to get more

Ric reviewed the season 5 'Venture Brothers' premiere as it delivers -
highly recommended


then we did auctions

and the rumor of the week was:  'This rumor is not a pun, it's just stupid'
... and remember, art tastes like kittens
