SFLIS Minutes - June 30, 2004

- Available from www.1783.com - a DVD rewinder!  Always wanted one of those.
- The ISCA server is in a fireproof room without adequate ventilation, and
  the temperature is rising.  It could burst into flames at any time.  But
  on the bright side - at least the fire will be confined to that one room.
- They're making a second Dungeons & Dragons movie?  Will it be as bad as
  the first one?  We hope so.  Then it will be fun to make fun of.
- Catherine and Marty were in the paper Sunday, quoted in an article about
  anime and manga.  There was a picture of Daydreams too.
- At the anime showing on July 11, there will be a planning meeting for the
  event that isn't Marty Gras.  Maybe we'll call it the University of Iowa
  Anime Event (UOIAE).  The abbreviation contains all the vowels and is a lot
  of fun to try to pronounce.
  So, what types of positions are people interested in?
- There are rumors of a live action Astro Boy and live action Akira movie.
- From The Onion:  "Riverboat Horseracing Fails Utterly" and "Reagan Pyramid
  Nears Completion."
- We have a brief discussion of whether the power companies are trying to kill
  off the amateur radio operators.
  And how commercial radio stations are having more and more commercials and
  smaller and smaller playlists.
  Then there are neo radio stations, with huge playlists, where DJs can play
  whatever they want.  Fewer commercials and they charge more for them, but
  they're getting more and more listeners.
- We're going to see Spiderman 2 tonight at Coral Ridge.  The 7pm show.
  That means we should leave pretty soon, so we do.
