SFLIS Minutes - February 28, 2001  (just a little bit late)

- Strange people were seen at Gamicon, either the result of drugs or lots
  of alcohol.  Seemed to be hotel employees, mostly.
  The conversation then moved on to drive-thru liquor stores.
- Gamicon was a success, in spite of the weather and limited advertising.
  The combat demo was pretty cool - should we sponsor them at the U of I?
  A late-night game with characters based on The A Team.
- Our budget request was submitted on time.
- Where is it ok to  have alcohol at the university?
- SifCon is on Easter.  Should we do something with a theme?
  Considering some of the suggestions made at the meeting.......Do we want
  to be allowed to do this again? Maybe we should stick to eggs and bunnies.
- Nike Xena and Gabriel missiles.
- TV/Movies:  Yesterday's Buffy was mediocre.  But at least they killed
  something.
  Possible sequel to the Stargate movie with actors from the tv series.
  McGuyver
  Ad seen during the Superbowl - some type of knights/jousting movie coming
  out this summer?
  PSI Factor - anyone seen it?  With Dan Ackroyd and the Max Headroom guy.
  New Battlestar Galactica series.  How many of the original actors are
  still alive?
  Will Star Wars Episode 1 ever come out on DVD?
  Flashbacks:  Ewoks - Battle for Endor.  The moon of Endor.  What's the
  difference between a moon and a planet?
- The Navy is creating a new position, naming it after Heinline (Hinlein,
  Heinlein?  How do you spell it?)
- There's a SWAMP show Sunday.  (Actually, there WAS a SWAMP show Sunday the
  4th).  3 episodes on videotape, 4 episodes on DVD, and the rest off of
  CD-ROM or hard drive.
  The Ah My Goddess movie takes up over 400 megabytes of disk space and sounds
  like it was recorded in the theater.
- Should we start a pool on how long William Shatner's new wife lasts?
  Ha ha ha.....get it?
- More SifCon stuff.
  How about a full-page ad in the Daily Iowan?  Got SFLIS?  With a good-
  looking scantily-clad young woman to go with it?  That way, we can also
  make  headlines the next day about how tasteless the ad is.
  Many more tasteless suggestions.
  Should we put a hidden message in the ad?
  Who wants to design our "Got SFLIS" ad?
  In the works are a possible costume contest, maybe cell painting, video
  games.  Will we need to get TVs for use with Nintendo and Sega, etc?
  If so, how many?
- And the meeting abruptly ends.
