(Note: Infernal's apologies for not sending these last night. She was
trapped in a vortex of emerging into herself after having been Cassia all
night.)

This meeting ought never to have happened; but against the will of the
gods, it did.

Some soon-to-be-dead HRSFen made threats on the officers' lives because of
the co-chairs' absence. The Infernal politely (and wielding a big ol'
stick) reminded them that she was missing tech week to be there. Except,
of course, she wasn't there, because Cassia was there. *cough*

BUSINESS.

(ONE.) VERICON has some cool guests now. The con chair will present more
on this at the next meeting. Rumor has it that we managed to snack Jud
Winnick (rumor probably spelled it wrong, too), and that we might
therefore get coverage in the Globe.

(TWO.) The MYLD HUNT will be May 12.

(THREE.) The SPRING PARTY will be this Friday, April 26. The Lowell
administration is gimpy and hasn't reponded to Charles, so we will
probably need to have the party in a room (Bryn? Cassia?). Also, see item
five.

(FOUR.) The consensus on PRE-FROSH WEEKEND seems to be that it was pretty
cool. Bryn reminds the HRSFA populace of her SF Ex Libris plan. For those
who don't know, Ex Libris is a very cool game played by some at
Game-a-thon that much resembles Balderdash, only with the opening and
closing lines of books rather than dictionary definitions. Bryn proposes
that we make our own game with SF/fantasy books. She will send out an
email about this soon.
	Tony will talk about this more later, but he mentioned briefly
that he plans to write a letter to the administration about how poorly we
feel we were treated during pre-frosh weekend. There were rumblings of
agreement from the others present.

(FIVE.) MST takes on the EYE OF ARGON. Plans are in the works to perform
the atrocious story with its riffs at the Spring Party. Interested parties
should contact David Speyer.

(SIX.) Treasurer wants to take a vote on giving money to HRSFen to join
the ANIME SOCIETY. The plan is to give $5 to any HRSFAn who wants to join
in future; this will not apply retroactively, if passed. Hopefully this
will encourage mutual enjoyment of anime and SF. ... Plus maybe we can
raid their movie stash.


SIG REPORTS

BUFFY / ANGEL SIG. Buffy is not new this week. However, Smallville and
Angel are, and the JCR is reserved. The season finales of Smallville and
Buffy are going to run simultaneously.

************
Suddenly, a Dennis walks in.
	Dennis: Fuck me, Dennis Clark!
	Kaitlin: Awww.
Co-chair runs the meeting from here on out.

MILK & COOKIES SIG. Met. Will meet again. Pre-frosh meeting was very cool,
particularly the reading of the Eye of Argon, for which was awarded some
Fresh and Minty things, some things which are Fun At Parties, and some
Adoreable things.

wSIG did meet, but Kartik wasn't there. It was cool nevertheless.

rSIG is still on hiatus.

GAME-A-THON was very cool, and many games were played. (See item five
above.)

ANIME. Eva was watched. Hell SIG was very nearly formed out of an accident
of nomenclature.


The meeting closed after about 13 minutes.
