Chris: "There's no punch and pie."
Tony et al: "Oh." (leave)

NORMAL BUSINESS

*************
MYLD HUNT / SPRING PARTY
*************

We had 'em yesterday. There was confusing of peoples and Passover 
goodies.

"There were definitely people who thought Kaitlin and I were getting 
married."
-- Dennis

*************
PREFROSH WEEKEND
*************

Once again, our plans to rope in the young and impressionable are as 
follows:
Game-a-thon: Saturday 4/26, 3-7ish, Science Center 116
MST3k: Saturday 4/26, 7:30-10, Waka
Milk & Cookies: Saturday 4/26, 10-1, Waka

Tabling: Kaitlin needs help tabling at the activities fair Sunday 
afternoon from 3 to 4:30. We can only have two people total; ask her 
(kbheller@fas) for logistical details if you're willing to be loud and 
friendly and stuff for part or all of the fair.

Tony: "I will be in the Democrats dunking booth at Springfest."
Jason: "Hmm... personal morality... dunk Tony."

*************
FRESHMAN WEEK
*************

Dorms open 9/6. There'll be a game-a-thon and milk and cookies the 
Wednesday of Freshman Week (which we will poster for) and an intro 
meeting at Boylston the Thursday of the following week (advertised in 
the Calendar of Opening Days).

*************
PROFIT
*************

The day classes end (Friday May 2nd), Waka will be available for 
watching a marathon of the cancelled series Profit. Cassia can't be 
there but encourages everyone to come, cause it's an awesome show.

"It was too edgy for FOX."
-- Ender

*************
T PARTY
*************

Bizareness/Milk & Cookies/Writer's SIGs wish to make an attempt at a 
trip to the Wonderland T stop with Lewis Carroll readings and tea 
sometime during Reading Period. Freeeeaky.

*************
METAL GEAR SOLID LARP
*************

Wanna be a badass? Tell Jason (morrow@fas) and/or Chris (doucett@fas). 
The expected date is the night of Saturday May 17th, the first Saturday 
in exam period. The proper background info will be provided via 
write-ups of MGS 1 & 2, and an optional session of watching the best 
parts of each game.

*************
MAYDAY
*************

Harvard already has a Mayday celebration, but that's just not enough. 
Summer suggests that HRSFA get up early on May 1st to dress up as 
nymphs and throw flowers at people. Tell Summer (slbailey@fas) if 
you're interested.

*************
BUDGET (pronounced boo-JAIS)
*************

Tony wrote up our budget. Dennis gave him $50.

The plan for con discounts is, with the officers' approval on a 
con-by-con basis, to provide $10/person; if we start going to lots of 
cons and this becomes infeasible, we'll reduce the amount.

Also, the $1 movie ticket discount will be replaced by HRSFA paying for 
T fare on movie trips. This means saving more money for you (round-trip 
T far is $2) and less HRSFA-HRSFAn money swapping all around (someone 
will just buy tokens for everyone andget reimbursed).

"As you can see, there's no 'Tony-Stealing Money' line..."
-- Tony

*************
SENIOR BRUNCH
*************

We'll reserve a small dining room at one of the Houses for a Sunday 
brunch, probably during exam period.

*************
MOVIES
*************

May 3rd: X-Men II
May ~15th: Matrix II

"Jesus is back!"

Babylon 5:
Four more Season 5 eps this week. Says Dennis: One of them is Day of 
the Dead, written by some guy who once signed Kaitlin's pants, and Penn 
and Teller are also there.

*************

Writers:
Workshopped three pieces over the weekend. Elisabeth will try to have 
Fusion laid out before the end of the semester and get it printed over 
the summer. If anyone's interested in editing via email let her know 
(ehcohen@fas).

*************

Cool Movie ZIG:
We've shown Heathers and A Fish Called Wanda the last two Wednesdays; 
this Wednesday may be Young Frankenstein or Hard-Boiled.

*************

Anime:
Lots of HRSFAn went to Anime Boston.

Alexa: "Tony let me walk around the dealer's room with his badge on the 
condition that I take pictures of pretty girls-"
Tony: "For all of HRSFA."

*************

MST3k:
Prefrosh Weekend. Pain. One more time.

*************

Video Game:
Continues to rule HRSFA with an iron fist.

*************

$IG:
Dying but hasn't given up yet - more episodes on Friday. Come watch, 
dammit.

*************

CIG:
Dying and broken by the whip of its cruel mistress. No new Buffy this 
week, new Smallville and Angel.

"Clark goes all wife-beater and throws cars at people..."
-- Charles

*************

Magic:
Lots of Magic at the Spring Party. More brain-frying coming up real 
soon.

nothing.
