SFLIS Minutes - January 22, 2003

- What's the difference between a dictatorship and a monarchy?
  The ruler of a certain country played golf recently and got 5 holes in one.
- There will never be any birthday singing at SFLIS meetings, unless there is.
  Would anyone like the lyrics to the official SFLIS birthday song?
- 3 weeks from now is movie night where we will probably be showing Avalon,
  a Japanese movie that has the Polish militray in it!
  And 2 weeks from now is the next Mindbridge meeting.
- Who's getting a hotel room for Gamicon?
  It's official:  Nothing will be happening in Josh's hotel room.
- This month's Newtype magazine (the American version) has a sample DVD from
  AD Vision.  It also has a centerfold and postcards.
- SF news of the week has 4 pages of Buffy and Angel stuff.
  An interesting article in the Onion:  Kim Jong II Unfolds into Giant Robot.
- There will be anime at Gamicon.
  Gamicon Mooooo is Feb. 14-16.  You must be accompanied by a cow to get in.
  Don't have a cow, but bring one.  They will "kill the fatted calf" and have
  a great feast afterwards.
  Or we could be making all of this up.
- One of Meredith's professors is a former military officer of a former Warsaw
  Pact nation.
- Starship Troopers was a good movie!
  We spend a few minutes expressing our disagreement with the above statement.
- The meeting is officially over.
