SFLIS Minutes - December 11, 2002

- Josh is dead, Tim's undead, and Megan is dying.
- Lots of interesting news articles are passed around.  Also some examples
  of bad Engrish from Japan.
- Josh says he has rabid goat monkeys.
- We're going to the Lord of the Rings on Wednesday the 18th.  Probably the
  9pm show, and probably at Coral Ridge.  Or maybe Sycamore. Or maybe the
  really cool one near Hoopeston, IL.  Ok, that last one is a little far for
  a Wednesday, but maybe later....
  It looks like it will be Coral Ridge this time.
- On Sunday the 15th from 1-8pm, C125 Poppajohn, we're having a video game
  fest.  We'll use two cordless mice to play combat Solitaire on the big
  screen!  Or maybe not.  We'll be playing....whatever people happen to bring.
  MIght be showing some really bad videos too.
  The doors will be locked, the lights will be off, and you'll need to use the
  secret knock to get in.
  Or not.
- Most of this winter will be in 2003, since it doesn't officially begin until
  Dec. 21.  That's why it's still cold in February.  There's this thing called
  the 'solstice' on the 21st.
- Did Hitler die on the same date he was born on?  And why would someone who
  looks like Hitler to begin with want to grow the same type of moustache?
- The Gamicon mailing is out.
  And there's a Gamicon contact list without any contact info, but there's a
  way to look it up.
  And we discuss the possibility of an anime/video room for Gamicon.
  No decision on that yet.
- Spirited Away.  metacritic.com (not sure of the URL) collects and
  correlates  movie reviews.  Spirited Away got 99% positive reviews.  So
  why is it only playing on the coasts?  It also has a chance of being
  nominated for best animated film.
- Devil ducks, throwing away the body of a devil duck.  What are we talking
  about here?
  Now we're talking about people talking about things out of context and
  having conversations about completely different things without realizing it.
- More ideas for Gamicon:  Hikaru no Go anime marathon, and a Go tournament.
  Or a Linux install tournament.  One hour to do a clean install and set up
  a web server with as many services as possible running.
- That's it for this week.
