SFLIS Minutes - October 15, 2003

- Chicago Cubs.  They weren't doing badly enough so they had to call
  on the fans.  Ok, that fan only did what almost everyone else would
  have done in the same situation.  But he's probably been forced to
  go underground by now.
- AnimeIowa 2004 will be at the Hotel Fort Des Moines, Sept. 16-18.
  They were selling prereges at ICON.
- Posters for the Soul Calibur tournament:  what is and isn't
  appropriate.  No scantily-clad women or women "nipping out."  Don't
  say you want to give people SFLIS.
  Tournament is Nov. 1 at Schaeffer Hall.  Probably room 30, noon to
  8pm.  There's a charge for being in the tournament, but hanging out
  is free.  There might be a registration deadline for the tournament.
- An article on "Why Star Trek Sucks" is passed around.
- ICON happened last weekend.  We got rid of all the cheese balls.
  Cheesy poofs were EVERYWHERE!  At registration, gaming, anime room,
  a cheesy poof sculpture panel, masquerade prizes, etc.
  There was some disagreement with the hotel staff for closing the
  consuite at 2am.
  Still looking for a concom for next year, but it sounds like some
  people might have expressed interest.
  The body count was 412 or something like that.  Not sure exactly.
  One of the guests bought some children's art.  Art made by children,
  that is.
- Video gaming in Poppajohn on Dec. 14.  There will be an inflatable
  couch there that was used in Demicon's anime room.
- Gunslinger Girls, Bottle Fairies, and other new anime series with
  amusing or unusual names are starting in Japan now.
- And now we have a demonstration of an icicle hitch.  A knot on a pool
  cue that can't be pulled off.
- We're going to have elections sometime in less than a month.
- That's it for this week.
