Minutes: 2/23/03 From: Chris Doucette Date: Mon Feb 24 2003 - 01:51:20 EST --------------------------------------------------- ELECTIONS WITHOUT END, PART I Crepes were eaten. Chris got to the meeting early with his laptop, ran back to his room to get Tony's dictionary and HRSFA's room permit, and came back in time to hear nothing interesting being said before the meeting. "This is a non-con meeting, and thus cannot be brought to order." -- Ender *************** *************** NORMAL BUSINESS *************** *************** *************** NEW OFFICERS *************** The officer board proudly presents your new officerial type peoples: Editor In Chief - Elisabeth Vericon Chair - Charles Send them your congratulations/condolences as appropriate. *************** THE MASQ *************** The masq will happen after Spring Break so that the seniors can't complain about their so-called "thesises." Starr came in. Us: "We want to do the Masq after Spring Break." Starr: "Awesome! Then I'll have finished my thesis!" *************** PSI-CORPS LARP *************** It went into the wee hours of Saturday night, the 10th anniversary of B5, among the offices of Maxwell Dworkin. There was lots of fun and politicking and mind control. Jason killed Dennis a lot. The Overmind... is grounded. *************** *************** SIGS *************** *************** Star Trek SIG: Pending announcement, there will be a Data-thon this Wednesday evening since there is no Angel or other SIGging. Details to follow. *************** Milk & Cookies: Will happen soon. Really. Hopefully this Saturday evening.

All Hail Chronos. Writer's SIG will happen, sometime soon when there are as few conflicts as possible. This will involve high tea, inspirational board games and other brainstorming activities. Exciting. Details to follow. *************** CIG: New Buffy, "something with slayer home videos," according to Charles. New Smallville too, with an entirely mysterious very special guest star. No Angel till next month. Details to follow. *************** Gaming SIG: Jason won at Catan. Measures must be taken to prevent Chris from doing similarly, to avert compromising galactic structural integrity. Details to follow. *************** Video Gaming SIG: Video games continue to be played. Chris beat Metal Gear Solid II on Easy mode. Master of Orion III will soon hit stores, leading to massive grade deflation among the Jason-Tony population. Details to follow. (indescribable aura of YESSSSS) -- Jason *************** $IG: Farscape is four episodes from the end, and - oh my gentle Jesus. Stargate will feature a big Teal'c episode, which is always lots of fun. Kaitlin will show Disney's "Atlantis" this week, because it's Stargate, but it's not. Details to follow. *************** *************** Kaitlin turned on the projector with her ass. "All Hail SANYO." -- Warren *************** *************** NON-CON NOMINATIONS *************** *************** "For every pointer after the 10th, a HRSFAn *will die*." -- Chris Non-consitutional nominations have been compiled. Additional nominations should be sent to Chris (doucett@fas) and Cassia (cimartin@fas) with the name of the person who seconded it - and *there must be a second.* Nominations will be accepted until *Friday at midnight.* If you can't figure out which midnight is Friday at midnight, you don't get to nominate jack, pal.
