worth paying extra for the 3D - STAY for the Easter egg; then Dave reviewed

Carole reviewed 'Garrison Keillor' as very much Prairie Home Companion &
catered to an older crown and worth full price

dreams, worth awesomeness, even if it gave him a headache, JC agreed & then
he reviewed a mini-film-festival as fun

Valerie reviewed 'Much Ado About Nothing' as it was nice and Whedon-y -
worth matinee

Adrienne reviewed 'Now you See Me' as glitzy and she 'guessed I had fun
while I watched it' - as so-so; Chris reviewed it as 'the air conditioning
was nice' & worth full price

Lisa reviewed Westercon as the most fun she's had in a long time & she
liked the panels, Carole had a good time, Bill was entertained & the Con
Suite was fantasic

I reviewed 'The Lone Ranger' as I enjoyed it and thought it was worth full
price just for Silver

[evil] Kevin reviewed playing a game of 'Wizard Sticks' as he had fun and
won't need to do it ever again
