REVIEWS:
[evil] Kevin says he got a book recommendation at Windycon & so started the
1st book of the Yellowrock series by Faith Hunter and he is currently
reading book #6 in the series

Bill reviewed LosCon as it seemed noticeably smaller this year, with fewer
activities, but he still had fun & they had a good time & he got the latest
Charles Stross 'Laundry Files' book & thoroughly enjoyed it

JC reviewed 'Stranger Things', having finished season 2 - and highly
recommends both seasons & thinks it is worth getting Netflix for

John O followed, reviewing that there is a follow-up show after 'Stranger
Things' called 'Beyond Stranger Things' and says do -not- watch it until
you have seen both seasons of 'Stranger Things' - and then reviewed 'Ralph
Breaks the Internet' as a fun ride, has great visuals & definitely
recommended, that they got the Princesses spot on & to make sure to see all
the credits because there are Easter eggs

Carole reviewed LosCon as she did 4 panels & noticed that attendance was
down & the Dealer's Room was smaller than it's ever been

we did auctions

we adjourned at 8:32

Rumor of the week was 'We no longer need to chew the air'
