SFLIS Minutes - May 23, 2001

- Sunday June 3, there's a Mindbridge members meeting for all who are
  interested in being members.  Will go over ICON stuff, what it means
  to be a member, and other things that will be decided between now and
  then.
  In shelter #1 at City Park in Iowa City, sometime between 10am and 3pm.
  The goal is 11:30am.  Is this above or below the water level?  Who knows?
  Bring a floatation device just in case.
  One thing on the agenda is to approve the ICON concom so they can do
  things (like run the con).
- Anime show on June 3, but it's not at City Park.
  1-8pm, C107 PBAB.
  Last show had ok attendance and some old friends stopped by.
- June 8-10 in the IMU is Summer Pif, with RPGA stuff and non-RPGA stuff.
  There's something going on in Cedar Rapids this weekend.  What is it?
  Oh, it's a gaming event, but it's not open to the public, so never mind.
- TrekFest in Riverside the last full weekend in June.  See where Captain
  Kirk was conceived at Murphy's Bar and Grill.
- TV/Movies:
  Voyager ends pretty soon.
  Buffy ended last night (this season, anyway), and we had a discussion
  of how things might turn out.
  Has anyone seen Farscape?  Yes, and it sounds pretty good.
  Kight's Tale is incredibly predictable, and rock music doesn't belong
  in a medieval story.  Don't pay for a knight, er....night showing.  Go
  to a matinee or rent it.
  Shrek is pretty funny, lots of digs at Disney, jokes all the way through.
  Good for both kids and adults.
  Red Planet - blech!  It's ok to laugh at because it's so bad, but don't
  spend a lot of money on it.
  Some video games have better plots than a lot of movies.
  Speaking of which....We're one week closer to Tomb Raider.
- We have a discussion of the worst of Star Trek - Voyager, the last
  season of Next Generation, the Next Gen. devolution episode, and who
  writes the Treknobabble that's used on the shows.
- Red Mars will be discussed at the next Barnes & Noble discussion group.
- Have we spent all our money yet?  Not yet.  It's pretty hard to do,
  considering the small number of things we can use the blue vouchers
  for.
  We still need a clock for the SFLIS desk.
- And after a while we decide to leave.
