Minutes, 3.17.02 From: Kaitlin Branson Heller Date: Sun Mar 17 2002 - 22:20:47 EST --------------------------------------------------- "No! Don't erase the funny diagrams! They're on the agenda." - Bill Cassia forgot to bring the dress; Dennis needs a stage manager. Pete & Pete is definitively awesome. "That's a big stick." - Dennis, re Ender's exceptionally large stick, with which he pounded the meeting to order. "Let us begin the begin." - Ender **Business** ------------ DIAGRAMS on the board were generally made fun of. Note on the door said that whatever section was in here had to go to Vanserg. There was a moment of silence for that section. BLADE II, SPIDERMAN, ATTACK OF THE CLONES. HRSFA will attempt to go to these movies as a group. Charles is organizing a group to go to see Blade this Friday afternoon sometime. Starr suggested we go to see E.T. when it is rereleased. Dennis denied that E.T. is being rereleased. "I disavow all knowledge of a CGI E.T." - Dennis ... Side note: Apparently the Blade premiere in Austin went well. Kartik (disparagingly): Texans. Kaitlin: (makes smoking out gesture) BLOCKING PARTY. Lowell JCR 9-1 this Wednesday. The opera is dead, so we might be able to stay past one. Plans for the party include all manner of games. Charles will be in charge of this. Tony & Charles will do a food run sometime between 3-7, and would like helpers. Ender says he will bring Supergal. HRSFen: What's Supergal? Ender: We hate being poor. Lone HRSFAn: That's deep. SUMMER JOBS. Job mostly consists of babysitting kids. Free rooming is provided. Pay is about $450 plus tips. If you do dorm crew during commencement week, you can make even more money, and you still get about 4 days entirely free. Lovely catered lunches are available when you're working with the kids, but otherwise they do not feed you. If you're interested, turn in the application yesterday. Work dates: Wednesday June 5 - June 9 Free rooming dates: May 26 - Monday June 10 "It's not going to be quite what Tony envisions, because I know what he's envisioning, and it's not that." - Charles TONY WANTS TO SAY SOMETHING. The Demon reports that someone is giving a lecture on elvish linguistics, and that he will be peppered with questions from smart-asses about why the one ring must be destroyed. BBC. Anyone interested in watching fun BBC stuff during the Buffy / Angel reruns should talk to Charles & Tony. Claudia: we are specifically interested in seeing Jeremiah. Kartik: Is this Tony and Charles day? Kaitlin (later): No, it's St. Patrick's Day. Aaron: No, it's St. Joseph of Arimethea's Day! (NB: This really is true. No lie.) DM-ING. Apparently a bunch of elementary school and junior high kids need a DM for the Tuesday during spring break. Interested parties should talk to Charles. Ben says he did this once ... "... and thereafter we talked about the council of Elrond, and they peppered me with questions about why the one ring must be destroyed." - Ben PRE-FROSH WEEKEND is April 19-22. We should try to make this appealing. Milk & Cookies will attempt to run in Leverett JCR Saturday. Game-a-thon will start Friday and run through Sunday, probably in the Science Center. MST3K might be performing Friday. Ben suggests that people should go to the line for the ice cream social and lure pre-frosh to milk & cookies. Bill would like to bring bubbles for prefrosh, but needs to know numbers and if he will be repaid. Application for this is due Wednesday, so if certain parties could get certain information to the Infernal, it would be regarded with favor. *evil grin* SPRINGFEST. April 27, 12-5 pm. We did this once, two years ago, where we had boffers and, Ben says, "people were allowed to ... boff." "Last time, they tried to foist a game off on us that involved dropping coins on a board and hoping the laws of probability were asleep at the switch." - Dennis "How about this: people come up in pairs, and whoever pays us more gets to throw water balloons at the other one." - Ender The application is due April 2. The officers will discuss this, but general sentiment appeared to be negative. AMENDMENT. A separate email was sent out about this. **SIG REPORTS** --------------- COOL MOVIE *IG. Website has actually been updated. Go look!! SpaceCamp & Willy Wonka were pretty cool. This week on Thursday at 9 in the Quincy JCR, there will be Die Hard. "This movie first introduced American audiences to Dennis." - Starr STAR TREK SIG. This week aliens hunt for pleasure, and are hunted for pleasure. Kartik made an inappropriate comment about this. (NOTE: There is an addendum about Star Trek at the bottom of the email.) BIZARRENESS SIG. We didn't kill any officers, but we got Caesar! WSIG. Met. Bryn has a cool story. Jon has a good idea for a story. Talked about LotR and Silmarillion. BUFFY / ANGEL. There won't be any til the middle of April. Last week's episodes were okay; Tony is obsessed. GAMING. There will be games at the blocking party. The meeting closed. People got forms from Charles (maybe). There was stomping of the big stick from Ender (not to be confused with the stick, which was not stomped by Ender). "Sound the trumpets from the highest parapets: Babylon has fallen and will never rise again." - Ender Recorded March 17, 2002.
