- Noise Putty - What sound does it make?
- Food is brought in as the attendance sheet is passed around.

  Possible sequel to 'The Lost Boys.'  Likely title is 'The Lost Girls.'
  Dune set a ratings record for the SciFi Channel.
  Talk about bad acting and winged costumes in the Dune movie.
  Cedar Rapids has the Sci Fi Channel.
  La Femme Nikita - they're showing the last 8 episodes on Sundays.
  Couchin Tiger Hidden Dragon, martial arts movie.  Will it play here?  It's
  scheduled to open in Minneapolis on the 12th.  Getting good reviews and
  doing very well at the limited number of theaters that it's at right now.
  Next Star Wars movie:  Rumor has it that it will be called "Episode 2," and
  there will be many marketing opportunities available.
  FX is showing all the X-Files episodes again.
  Next week there's a new Angel.  Week after is a new Buffy.

  watch stuff that they're not supposed to see or stuff they can't understand.

  We don't have homicidal computers now.  Or do we?

- AnimeIowa staff meeting is coming up.  Nobody here is on staff, so not sure
  of the time and place.  There hasn't been any news for a while.
- Mindbridge had a board meeting (Borg meeting?  Bored meeting?).  A couple
  people were there.  There will be another one sometime.  There are no
  special requirements for joining SFLIS, Mindbridge, or any other affiliated
  organizations.
- Marty gets the Best Toy award this week for the noise putty.  He gives us
  a demonstration.
- And then we leave.
