Reviews:
[evil] Kevin reviewed a new restaurant, 'Black Bird Tavern' as the food was
delicious - it's at the corner of Doom [1st and Paseo de San Antonio] & he
recommends it highly

Adrienne reviewed 'RED 2' as she enjoyed it & it was worth full price & she
reviewed The Psychotronic Film Festival' as she had fun & she reviewed
'Cabin in the Woods' as really off the wall

Chris reviewed Napa as they like wine there & reviewed Morimoto's as they
wouldn't seat him there but would give him take-out - that was incredibly
good

Howeird reviewed 'Scattered Darkly' by Philip K Dick as it felt like he was
reading it for years and only the last paragraph was worthwhile & reviewed
the DVD for 'Spring Break' as pretty gross and he's donating his copy to
the BASFA auction

Dave G reviewed Jay Lake's pre-mortem wake as a good time was had by all

Ric reviewed 'The Wolverine' as very accurate & true to the Frank Miller in
Japan story and amazingly blood free, but not compelling & worth matinee

Fred reviewed Symphony Silicon Valley doing summer medleys as good

Diane reviewed The Psychotronic Film Festival' as better than sleep

then we did auctions

we adjourned at 9:27 pm

and the rumor of the week was: 'Apathy for the win'
