Reviews:
Lonestar was reviewed a lot and sounded like fun

Ric reviewed 'The Sandman' by Gaiman as excellent, beautiful and worth
buying it

Adrienne reviewed staying in San Antonio extra time with Mo as wonderful,
even if she didn't see any ghosts; Bill followed, advising to stay out of
the heat of the day & that he enjoyed the riverwalk

Mo reviewed the heat in Texas as horrible & that perch were dying in the
river - but she really loved the Alamo

Bill reviewed 'The Wolverine' as having a very twisty plot & worth between
matinee & full price - stay for the cookie

Yochanan reviewed 'The World's End' as he liked it; reviewed 'City of
Bones' as very pretty & reviewed the Asian Art Museum as 'go see it'

Brad reviewed Spinrad as he just finished reading some of his books and
that they haven't dated, then reviewed visiting the Johnson presidential
library as worth it - but prepare ahead of time by calling them and letting
them know what you want to look at

Dave C reviewed a trilogy of Ringo's books, starting with 'Ghost' as not
very impressive

Josh reviewed Baxter & Pratchett's 'The Long Earth' as excellent except
'for the last half of the last page' & reviewed the Ritz Carlton in Half
Moon Bay as he is now forever spoiled for any other hotel as it was amazing

Ken reviewed a Campbell restaurant in Campbell that is now 'Sorelle' as an
Italian bistro that's worth full price

Spike reviewed San Antonio as the food they visited was very good & that
the 3-hour-each-way Robert E Howard bus tour was heroically worth it

Diane reviewed 'the end of summer party' as superb and worth double full
price


then we did auctions

we adjourned at 10 pm

and the rumor of the week was:  'wait ... wait ... wait'
