Reviews:
We reviewed 'Watchmen' - Glenn said it was watchable and he enjoyed it, it
was extremely faithful to the source and violent, worth full price; Chris
reviewed it as long but he enjoyed it, also worth full price; I reviewed it
as a heckuva good adaptation and also worth full price and yay, no space
squid and Mo reviewed the source as it's a committment to read and she looks
forward to seeing the movie

Chris reviewed Cinequest as a long and wonderful road, the last party was
not as drunk-tastic as usual and the shorts were crazy-fun, worth $75.75

Howeird reviewed Consonance as a blast that led to massive sleep deprivation
- lots and lots of instruments and talent; Lisa follow-on'd that she went
and saw the time change, that it was all good fun and worth full price

Dave C reviewed the Tonga room as he supported Tiki and so did -everyone-
else - that the food was good, the line was lng and the drinks were
strong; moderately priced and a decent experience

Adrienne reviewed 'Ashes to Ashes' as interesting but the jury is still out
on it & reviewed 'Tales from the Dugout' by Mike Shannon as a book full of
cute anecdotes and worth full price & reviewed seeing Tom Jones as wonderful

Lisa told people to go see 'Coraline'

I reviewed 'City of Heroes' as tons of online fun - especially if played in
a room with other guys also online & worth full price so far

We adjourned at = 9:50

And the rumor of the week was: 'Coming soon - the Watchmen versus the World
Crime League'
