Reviews:
Howeird reviewed Rustycon as there were lots of good costumes in the Masquerade, a very good filk circle; frank Wu follow-on'd that the hotel blew chunks but the con treated him like royalty

Dave C reviewed 'The Blonde' by Duane Swierczynski as strange and worth reading on an airplane; reviewed 'Alien vs Predator, Requiem' as likely to appear on TNT soon and if you've seen 'Night of the Living Dead' you've seen this movie, then Frank Wu did a follow-on that crashed the review

Lisa reviewed a book signing by James Owen as he's a very sweet man & will teach you to draw dragons

Joe reviewed racing as amazing and he'd never seen so many crashes in his life

Chris reviewed living in a new place as 'there I was, hand to God' and says '6 String Samurai' is a movie you have to see & that 8 year olds can really help you pack and moving was worth full price

We did speed auctions, selling books for $0.50; $0.25, $0.50; $2.50; $0.25; $5.00; & $7.00

We adjourned at = 8:52
And the rumor of the week was that = ‘Hot Card on Zimmer Bradley action'
