Minutes, 10.27.02 From: Kaitlin Branson Heller Date: Mon Oct 28 2002 - 09:53:05 EST --------------------------------------------------- Evil debate people kicked us out of our room. We went to 302. Dennis: Let's appoint a committee to mess them up. Kaitlin: Do you want to file a complaint or blow bubbles through their windows? Ender brought giant utensils. "302. It may be high. But at least it's a room." - Ender BUSINESS ---- 1. Rocky Horror. Lis: Thursday is Halloween, as you may have gathered from the calendar and it being the end of October. Dennis [burying face in hands]: Oh shit! Shows are Thurs @10, Fri @12, and Sat @12. So far the most votes are going for Friday at midnight. We want a headcount to buy tickets ahead of time, so email Lis by 9 on Wednesday, so she can buy them during the day. Tickets are $8.50; bag of things to throw is $1. HRSFA will give you $1 if you're a member. There will be Tim Curry and Tony in drag, and on Halloween, they will run all the best pre-show skits of the past year. [crazy debate chick heard through door] Someone: [Debate] is not useful in trying to convince people of things. Aaron: It might be useful in trying to convince people that you're Chip and Dale. 2. The Hunt. There was much howling, death, blood, sacrifice, and munchies. Lester [aka the munchies]: It was an experience. Warren: There you have it. Lester recommends death. 3. The Hour. It was good. Many drunken freshmen, and non-drunken freshmen, were extremely confused. The TSA gave out many tickets. It wasn't windy, rainy, or bloody cold. Yay Control the Weather SIG. 4. Fall Party. This will happen this weekend, Saturday Nov. 2, at 8 pm, in Kartik's room (Quincy B31). Kaitlin: Why does no one but me remember this? Charles: I remember it, and I wasn't there. Lis & Co. will write the scavenger hunt. Items on the list include things like True Love, Death, and the special Instant Win items - Stephen Jay Gould (more difficult now), Domna, and the Ibis. Peace in the Middle East was already done, when Dennis went to the central two floors of Grays East and had them sign a peace treaty. 5. DVD player. We voted unanimously to get HRSFA its own DVD player via the clutches of Kartik. He is alotted up to $100 for a Region I player and up to $150 for a Region Zero player. 6. Vericon. January 24-26, 2003. "We have a lot of cool stuff. Shut up." - Rebecca If anyone knows how we can get some sort of permission for MST to do Episode I, so that we won't get sued by Lucas, please contact Rebecca with all speed. Also, registration is up; do that registration thang. And volunteer while you're at it. *****THERE WILL BE A VERICON MEETING THIS SUNDAY IN THE WORLD DOMINATION ROOM AT NOON.***** 7. RenFaire. It was good. We sang rounds. Yay. SIGS -------------- 1. Charles SIG. No new Buffy this week, and possibly no new Firefly. Smallville is the first of five new episodes, despite there having been four new episodes already. Tony is taping Angel, but we still need someone to tape it regularly. Perhaps Kyle can be talked into showing Sandbaggers on Friday, in lieu of Firefly. 2. Jason SIG. "Is there five of him?" - Aaron MST has decided on Episode I. Some people may be unhappy with this, but the majority voted for it. Plus, "It's not our fault Episode I sucks." - Jason On Wednesday, MST begins in earnest. Also, ANIME SIG will soon have a showing of Gunbuster for HRSFA, so that we can all share in its goodness. 3. Kartik SIG. Kartik SIG is still named Fusion SIG, because Fusion is cool. 4. Fusion SIG / wSIG. After starting and losing a war with the GM, wSIG will meet Saturdays at 1 for lunch. Also, Fusion is gaining a scary advice column done by Lis and Jason'. 5. Dev and Starr SIG. New Mr. Vampire is the best Hong Kong action flick ever, and everyone should see it. It resides in the Quad. Next week: David Bowie's Package [aka Labyrinth] at 8:30 pm. Starr wants to show a short commentary on the film beforehand. 6. Star Trek SIG. Last week was a rerun of the season premiere. Next week is new, and will meet Saturday at 6. 7. Bizarreness SIG. Ooga booga. Fish. Attempts to develop ancient martial art with giant utensils bad. 8. Stating the Obvious SIG. We're here! 9. Milk and Cookies SIG. Happened. Will happen again when Dennis is less hosed. John Sunman came, gave Starr two books, and left. The books, which we are presumably allowed to read, are an anthology called "Cheap Complex Devices" and a novel about the Gulf War called "Acts of the Apostles". 10. Gaming SIG. Many people want to play Seafarers of Cataan. Does Dennis have it, or do we have to break down and buy it? Or can we use two expansion sets instead? Hopefully this will happen this week. "Huh? What? What'd I do?" - Kaitlin Mage is happening Saturday from 3-8 for the Crusade game. Any players who haven't turned in sheets and stories suck, except the freshmen, who were book-deprived. If the Ascension players can do Tuesdays, they should write to the GM *NOW*. "As the naked Chinese lesbian's invisible friend, I would like to second that [he sucks]." - Warren 11. B5 SIG. No more suckage until April. This week and next will be good. More BOOM. "Only my Jews are Jewish." - Dennis 12. Magic the Gathering Absence of SIG. Warren wants Input: the Emailing. Do we want to play again? More draft? Dev was confused. 13. Movies Sort of a SIG. Star Trek: Nemesis comes out Dec. 13, and it's an even-numbered movie. Two Towers comes out shortly thereafter. Chamber of Secrets comes out Nov. 17. Charles will do some emailing. "Who's hungry? I know I am. Bring on munchies!" - Ender The meeting closed and swore partial vengeance. Recorded October 27, 2002.
