REVIEWS:

Lisa reviewed SiliCon from this last weekend, live, with Adam Savage & the
programming kept changing without warning - except on their website during
the con.  It was mostly a media con & they had a good maker's / art show &
required all rooms to be emptied after each panel & to line up again for
the next panel in the room.  She would go again.  Gayle followed that Gerry
was on a panel there & she attended several enjoyable panels & that she had
a good time.

Yochanan reviewed a book 'Ender in Exile' by Orson Scott Card as nothing
much happens until halfway through the book, but that he enjoyed it a lot
anyway & also reviewed the Legion of Rassilon's in-person meeting as
wonderful & very much recommended

Craig reviewed 'Van Helsing' because he was bored & the special effects
were nice but the plot was a bit lacking & worth watching if you have
nothing better to do

Howeird reviewed a show on the Discovery Channel called 'Dino Hunters' that
was interesting & a way to make ranching profitable by looking for fossils
& being down-to-earth-cowboys & he recommends the show

we adjourned at 8:34 pm

and the rumor of the week = 'Smoke is now a season'
