Very minor correction: In announcements I announced that we HAD recreated our 
first podcast, which had been for Superman Returns seven years ago, with a 
"right outside the theatre" recording of our both Spoiler Free and Spoiler Full 
Man of Steel episode which is currently available:

Reviews:
Jo reviewed JayCon / Jay's birthday as bigger than last year's [50+] and really 
good - then he reviewed 'Man of Steel' as not the worst Superman movie he's 
ever seen because Superman was not in it - the movie was then exhaustively 
reviewed with some liking it, others not; then Jo ALSO reviewed rereading CJ 
Cherryh books & also ALSO reviewed the latest Dragonlance books as bad


Steven reviewed 'Children of Kings' by Deborah J Ross as a non-Bradley Darkover 
book with solid relevance to the world & wrapped up way too fast

Ric warned people away from DC's 'Superman Unchained' book by Scott Snyder & 
reviewed 'Ocean at the End of the Lane' by Gaiman as fun & he expects it to win 
a lot of awards


Adrienne reviewed Zazzle again as the replacement order was also filled by 
chimps and she didn't get a 'lady's' Tshirt; then she reviewed getting the 
Balfour garden gnome from the A's game as it was worth getting up in the 
morning for & Mo pointed out that they got equally fried by the sun on both 
sides during the game


Bradford reviewed the other half of the book about Superman by Larry Tye as 
worth reading

JC reviewed 'North America' on the Discovery Channel as absolutely gorgeous

[evil] Kevin reviewed the SciFi channel as 2 new shows are better than 'Flash 
Gordon' - one about Sinbad that is okay & the other, "Primeval New World' as a 
reboot of the British show


Andy reviewed a British cop show 'Luthor' on BBC America as dark & nasty & very 
good & then reviewed a Danish/Swedish show as it's going to get an American 
remake 

Mo reviewed 'Defiance' as 'the bells, the bells' and as cheesy, awkward fun


then we did auctions

we adjourned at 9:51 pm

and the rumor of the week was:  'Bacon always wins'
