Reviews:
Joni reviewed 'Devil Inside' by Jenna Black as it had an interesting premise that was not well-realized and rated it as 'there are other things to read in this world'

[tall] Kevin reviewed CC26 as worth full price - at the door - and possibly the most fun con he has ever attended and it reminded him why he likes conventions; I follow-on'd that the costumes were wonderful & I had a marvellous time; Eric follow-on'd that more than 20,000 photos had already be downloaded to Chaz's 1 terabyte drive [then there was a bit of SMOF smackdown site selection neepery]

Trey reviewed 'Lego Star Wars 2' as he reached 100% and was continually amused to see an Xwing wearing a Groucho Marx nose and glasses - that the game was a great deal of fun

We adjourned at = 8:33

And the rumor of the week was: 'as overheard from [evil] Kevin - Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, I'm free at last!'
