2. Vericon. 

Vericon was a big success. Over 300 registrants, almost all of whom
attended; there were games and guests and people had much fun. Tse-wei
will be con chair for Vericon 2; if you're interested in helping out
(please!) email him at twlim@fas. 

Also, Vericon made about $4700, but much of this money will go to the next
vericon and the upcoming issue of Fusion. in any case, hrsfa is still
poor, although less so.

3. Masq

The annual HRSFA Masquerade Ball will be coming up soon; we're in the
process of setting a date. The 17th of february seems likely. Ticknor
lounge was mentioned as a potential location, although the problem of
finding an appropriate sound system was mentioned. Co-chair Kevin Gold
(kgold) will be in charge, with apprentice Erin Larkspur (larkspur).

4. SF26, the Science Fiction Movie Marathon, conflicts with the elections
meeting.

5. SIG Reports:

a. Writer's SIG will meet on monday (except it was actually cancelled due
to inclement weather -ed) to discuss pieces and the upcoming issue of
fusion.

b. Cool Movies pSIG will be showing The Silence of the Lambs this thursday
in honor of Hannibal coming out. Afterwards, they will vote on next week's
movie between The Court Jester and Hardware Wars/2001. So attend.

c. Gaming SIG - there was lots of gaming at vericon. Altan Sert has
started a new campaign, the first meeting of which involved beating up
goblins and rats, but mostly rats.

d. Milk and Cookies happened. And it will happen again. SIG leadership of
Milk and Cookies will be passed on. To me (dclark@fas). Yay.

e. BBC SIG will be limited to two hours this week, but there's still good
stuff.

f. Buffy SIG said the following:

"Buffy. Buffy. Buffy. Buffy. Buffy. Buffy. <deepvoice>Angel.</deepvoice>
Buffy. Buffy. Buffy."

The meeting was adjourned.
