Hey, I was the one who said Now You See Me was worth it for the air 
conditioning.

 C reviewed 'Shaknado' as 'everything you expected and less', [evil] 
Kevin commented it will be re-shown Thursday - and many comments about 
jumping the sharks followed; then Dave reviewed 'Pacific Rim' as fun 
with giant robots fighting giant monsters - the consensus being it it 
was fun & worth paying extra for the 3D - STAY for the Easter egg; 
then Dave reviewed Robinson's '2312' as he didn't like it enough to 
finish it

Brad reviewed 'World War Z' as neither good nor bad, worth matinee

Dave G reviewed Readercon as quite interesting

Rick Moen reviewed Au Contraire in New Zealand as lots of fun

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

Chris
 reviewed California Extreme Video & Pinball as it equalled his 
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

then we did auctions

we adjourned at 9:56 pm

and the rumor of the week was:  'My cod, it's full of sharks'
