SFLIS Minutes - March 31, 2004

- Do we have any topics this week?  No.
  Ok, then how about this:
  How many SFLIS officers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
- Anime Detour was last weekend.  Maybe 1000-1200 people were there, pretty
  good for their first year.
  It was right across from the Mall of America.
  Lots of people in costume.
  The video rooms got a rating of 3 crutches out of 4.  Pertty lame, mostly
  dubbed commercial stuff and an "Asian media access" room.
  The cosplay emcee had a few problems with pronunciation and with heckling.
  There was a well-stocked dealers room and a nice consuite.
  Overall, pretty good for a first year.
- Next is.... DemiCon.  Less than 5 weeks away.  April 30-May 2.
- "We have a thing for a thing and stuff."
  "Do you think you could make that a little more vague?"
  Never mind, we don't have it after all.
- DemiCon's prereg deadline and hotel room rate deadline is April 1.
- People are doing homework at the meeting today.
- Bugei Tessen, a metal Japanese fan that was used as a weapon.  You can kill
  things with it.  Yes, the Japanese invented the "fan club."
- The Anime Event at the IMU, how about doing it in November?  We can reserve
  the rooms a little early.
  This event goes by the code name "Marty Gras."
- The secretary had to leave early, so that's all for this week.
