July Meeting Minutes 08/06/17

Discussion:
Meriah: Thought it was OK. Didn't like the fake facts and real facts mixed together. Favorite part was in Deadwood. Probably wouldn't recommend. 3/5 stars
Ali: Like it a lot. Loved the Deadwood and leaving Deadwood parts. Have already recommended and leant the book to my co-worker. Liked all the history mixed in to this made up world. 4/5 stars
Julie: Liked it. Had a "Brother Where art thou" feel to it. Liked the Leaving Deadwood scenes. Wanted to know what Jocelyn thought of the Clarified Bear Fat. Would totally recommend. Interesting facts about using pencils to touch up photographs "photoshop" back in the day. Question: What did Marsh mean at the end when he asked Johnson if he could get the bones back and Johnson said No and Marsh said "Then it's all gone!" What did that mean? 4/5 stars
Maren: Really liked it. Had some weird loose ends like the stripper chick he wanted to go back to Cheyenne for and the Emily escapade. Favorite part was Leaving Deadwood. 4/5 stars
Jocelyn: Really enjoyed it. Loved the history facts. Interesting it was written before Jurassic Park and was published after he dies. Might recommend. 3.5/5 stars.
