Lynda is stage managing the TIC skit for Demicon. The new con area has a really cool bar, but a rather curious neon palm tree. And the con space has this big, bolted bench in the middle of it. Still, all in all, should be interesting.
On April 23 we will all celebrate Simon's birthday at the Sanctuary after the SIF meeting.
Octavia Butler was very cool.

Bring the equivalent of 2 bags of chips for treats.
Show up! Tell your friends!
Let Marty know FOR SURE if you can have something for the video room so he can include it on the schedule. You can call him (he's in the book), or email him (milder@shc.uiowa.edu) or you can post here to him (Scapegoat).
Oops! Missed RC's Lois and Clark info. In a nod (white flag manuver) to another show, the next story Arc will be called The Lex Files. Ouch. Yup, also know I didn't spell manuever right. Oh well...
That's it. Come to SIF Con. Read these minutes. You don't think I write all this every week 'cause I'm altruistic do you? How come I never get fan mail for this anyway? And while we're on it, when am I gonna get my raise. I only took this job because of the perks. And another thing...
