SFLIS Minutes - September 12, 2001

- Prereg deadline for ICON is Monday.  You can register right here at the
  meeting.
  The ICON website has been updated in the last 6 months.
- The password for the SFLIS webpage is transferred to our new Web Guru.
  And the password is.......a combination of characters typed into a computer
  to gain access to an account.
- Both Joshes are here, or we have a two-headed president.
- There's a new con that coincides with the opening of the next Star Wars
  movie, but we're not sure what it's called.
- Mindbridge picnic Saturday Sept. 15, Shelter #4 in Upper City Park.
  5-9pm.  There will be food there.  It's a thank-you to members and also a
  membership drive.  There's no alcohol allowed at the shelter, but you can
  bring food if you want.  There may be a non-alcoholic fish drink.
- Fellowship game day Sept. 22 at Legends, 10am.  Greyhawk, Living City.
  Lots of undead things will be there.
- Fields of Honor is in Des Moines the week after ICON.
- SWAMP got 7 new members at the show Sunday, mostly students.  If this keeps
  up, we might end up with mostly students in our student group.
- We have a desk at the Student Activities Center, so please take books from
  it.  We donated 2 boxes of them to the University Hospital.
  Should we send some to the relief effort in New York?
- There are still some of last year's Right Stuf catalogs left if anyone
  wants one.
- We would like to reinstate the SFLIS movie nights.  How about the second
  Wednesday of the month, after the meeting?
- Next Wednesday there's a discussion of Zodiac by Neil Stephenson at Barnes
  & Noble, 7pm.
- The Wyndsong Theater in Cedar Rapids lost a screen last week. (Did someone
  walk off with it?  Did they misplace it?)  They also had a power failure
  that only affected digital stuff, so all the sound had to be analogue.
- Fox 28 & 40 will apparently be showing Buffy and Enterprise late at night
  this fall.  WB 20 will be showing the old Buffy episodes on weekends,
  Sat. and Sun. at 6.
- Do we want to see the Harry Potter movie since the book won a Hugo?
  How about a Harry Potter pinata at ICON?
- Has anyone heard about the guy from The Invisible Man?  Nope, nobody's
  seen him.
- Chaka Con was in Waterloo last weekend.  It happened.  People played games.
  One of the modules was written by Josh and Michele.
  Over $240 was raised for charity.
- Nobody here is a member of ISCA, but SFLIS use to have strong ties to it
  (if you've ever wondered why this forum exists).  There was some discussion
  of ISCA meetings.  They have a web page, but it doesn't say where or when
  they meet.  Or if they meet at all.  Does the group still exist as a
  student organization?
- Let's do another SifCon.  We can get the ballroom again.  We need a weekend.
  Last weekend of the semester is Winter Pif.
- Next week, bring events and dates so we can put them on the new SFLIS
  bookmark.  If you have an old bookmark to use as a model for the new one,
  bring it.
- Anyone want to run a LARP at ICON?
- Space pirates at Serendipity was fun, but not many people showed up.
- The meeting is sold to the scapegoat.
