SFLIS Minutes - April 17, 2002

- There's a band practicing in the next room.  Trumpets, trombones, etc.
  So everybody talk real loud, ok.
- 'Kick-ass' movie for our movie night last week.  Great, awesome, funny.
- We're going to Star Wars on May 16.  If you want to come, you need to
  get your money to Josh at least a week ahead of time.
- The SWAMP anniversary show is April 28.  Flawed anime flyers were
  passed around.
- There's a new Gamicon website.  It has cows and grass.  More content
  will be added later.  Like maybe an event submission form.  Might be
  time for one, since it's less than a year till the con.
  Other suggestions were made for programs, registering events, etc.
- We toss around some ideas of what to do with the SFLIS website if none
  of us ever get access to update it.
- Demicon is coming up.  May 3-5.  Demicon 13 with a horror theme.
- AnimeIowa had a staff meeting last weekend.  It will happen Aug. 23-25
  or sometime around then.  Last full weekend in August, anyway.  Some
  more guests have been confirmed, including a voice actress, but nobody
  here could remember the name.  Should be info on the webpage, though.
  Same hotel as last year.  No guest of honor banquet.  Bigger dealers
  room, kind of L-shaped.  They have a budget this year and no big debt
  to pay off like they did last year.
- There's a small anime con in Chicago this weekend.  Ok, not so small.
  It's Anime Central.
- May's movie night will be Star Wars on Thursday the 16th.
  June's will be Galaxy Quest.
- In 2 weeks we'll have an election for a new SEx director, since our
  current one is no longer Ex.  Anyone interested?
  We come up with a list of all former members we can think of who have
  moved away from the area.  We'll tell them that they're candidates, but
  not until after the election.
- In Seattle, two people have been camped out in front of a theater for
  Star Wars for over 100 days.  They're going for a world record.
- Damon Knight died a couple days ago.
- The biggest thing that's happened to SF in 50 years:  Jason X.
  And now we think of ways to punish the person who made us get quiet
  and pay attention so he could announce that.
- There's a gamicon flyer!  It has a cow theme for the background.
- Another guy died a couple days ago.  He was in Love Boat.  What was
  his name?  Robert Urich.
  How long has Hollywood Squares been on?
  Since the 70s at least.  Maybe even since the 60s.
  Is Walter Cronkite still alive?
- We're done.
  It's getting hard to hear.
  What?
  It sounds like the band is going to be pretty good, though.
