Ok, I forgot... it's been a while since the last time I had to do this. Sorry!

The Sergeant at Arms opened the meeting, bearing a dinky little cocktail
stick. 

Agenda:
1) HRSFA response to Bryn's fur hat.
2) Further evidence of a Tse Wei/Dennis connection
3) Vericon registration

It was determined that HRSFA cannot censure one of its co-chairs for
wearing a fur hat. Even if it is of genuine fur. Not even if it's Finnish
and has a little tail on it. So there.

Dennis and I were once again accused of being the same person - since when
I was delayed today, Tse Wei offered to take minutes and bring munchies. I
would like to declare once again that I am not the same person. If you
object, go watch Fight Club.

We now have 18 speakers attending Vericon, the latest addition being Esther
Friesner. Yes, this means you should register now. Fatima takes care of
registration. raja@fas, or go to www.vericon.org

This was the last meeting of the Fall semester. The first meeting of spring
will be the Constitutional Elections, at which new officers will be elected
to replace those of us who are old and senile, or just retiring. The second
meeting for spring will be the Non-Constitutional Elections, at which...
words fail me.

SIG reports - 

Milk & Cookies SIG will meet next weekend, by popular demand, in spite of
the co-chair demanding a recount. 

BBC SIG expresses its hearty endorsement of a viewing, to be held on 14th
December, of The Blackadder Christmas Carol. bneuensc@fas for details.
bneuensc SIG also plans to go and watch the AD&D movie, which opens on 8th
Dec, at the new cinema near Fenway, in the hopes that the big screen will
be able to take the punishment the movie will so surely deserve.

Anime SIG will be holding both an Utena-thon and an EVA-thon soon. Be very,
very frightened. jmorrow@fas will not assuage your fears. Note also that
Vericon plans to show all of EVA...
If you have volume 6 of Utena, and are willing to let it out of your
clutches, please write ender@ptc.com

MST3K SIG plans to read the script of the Fantastic Four movie at Vericon.
The script was written but never shot, though it surely deserved to be.
With a howitzer. jmorrow@fas for details.

Writers' SIG met. And it was good. 

Gaming SIG induced a Mexican stand-off, as two Chrononauts, decks drawn,
faced off across the table. Chrononauts is cool. There will be a GAT during
reading period, to train our representatives to the Verilympics, and
because there are GATs during reading period. There will also be gaming
this Saturday, avila@fas or twlim@fas if interested.
