It was really effing freezing in Sever 110. Many people, independently 
of one another, made comments on this fact, like, "It's effing freezing 
in here."

Kaitlin: "Yes. Charles and I, together, are Jesus and Christ."
Charles: "So what does this have to do with Christmas?"

************
************
"NORMAL" BUSINESS
************
************

As normal as it ever gets, anyway.

************
FALL PARTY
************

Everyone: "Yay."

Warren, Dave and Elisabeth, having won the Scavenger Hunt, will be in 
charge of the Vericon hunt.

************
VERICON
************

The next planning meeting will not be the morning after a HRSFA party. 
Nor will it be the morning after the Hour. More likely it will be 
around dinnertime - 6:30 in a reservable dining room, specifics to 
follow.

We may be getting big-time writer Peter David, who is cool 'n' stuff, 
but we have to work out things like how much money and/or firstborn 
children we'll have to give him.

************
COMING DU HOUR
************

This will take place next Sunday morning (10/26) at 2 AM.

(Kaitlin: Do the whole thing, bitch.)

Alright fine. It will take place from 2 AM to 2 AM and last 
approximately one hour. Happy?

There will also be a marathon showing of the Back To The Future trilogy 
beforehand. Cause, you know, time and all that.

************
WYLD HUNT
************

The Wyld Hunt is set for Halloween - that's 10/31 if you live under a 
rock. You get to paint yourself blue and run around Harvard chasing 
Cody, who will be wearing antlers. Meet in Bill's room for preparation 
(painting, etc.) at or around 7 PM. Details will be announced shortly.

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

We have some outings coming up:

Matrix Revolutions: Friday November 7th (though it comes out Wednesday)

Email Warren if you'd like a ticket. We're going on Friday night 
instead of Wednesday, because it's probably easier on people's 
schedules.

Return of the King: December 16th

We tried to get tickets to the marathon showing of the extended 
versions at Boston Common, but they sold out in 0.67 seconds. So 
instead, we'll have our own marathon of the extended versions on DVD 
before going to RotK.

************
MGS LARP
************

We've got a good core number of players, but we'd still like more. 
We're also looking for some NPCs who don't mind dying over and over and 
over again. Again, it's Saturday November 8th (the Saturday of 
Veteran's Day weekend) and will start around 6:30 PM with a pizza 
dinner. Come get your spy on.

************
************
SIGs
************
************

Cool Movie Zojo: Hudson Hawk surprised many with its goodness. Tomorrow 
night at 9 we watch a Cool Movie classic, The Wizard of Speed and Time.

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

MST3k SIG: We're doing Wing Commander. Because Jason says so. Wednesday 
night we will watch it through once; in the following weeks we start 
watching individual chunks over and over.

Kaitlin: "You like spending money less than you like HRSFAn, or you 
like spending money less than HRSFAn like spending money?"
Jason: "A little from Column A, a little from Column B..."

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

Video Games SIG: Continues to burn, pillage, and consume.

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

Anime SIG: Will actually start doing stuff. Because, as Jason says, 
"Anime society sucks BALLS."

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

Gaming SIG: Cody says: Canaday Fridays are on the comeback. Expect a 
-social email this week.

Tony wants to start playing Netrunner, an asymmetric card game (that 
means each side has a different playing mechanic), in anticipation of a 
tournament at Vericon.

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

CIG: Alias tonight at 9. Smallville Wednesday at 8. Angel Wednesday at 
9. Angel has graphic nudity this week, or at least the trailer did.

"So, graphical nudity? Like, Spike's nudity against time from 1998 to 
2003?"
-- Warren

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

Milk & Cookies: Is never ever using the G-Spot again. There will be a 
mini-M&C on November 1st, announcement will follow.

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

Writer's SIG: Continues to meet 2-3:30 on Sundays. Elisabeth wants your 
s**t out of the library (I am saying what she refuses to.) She may 
contact you if your name is on stuff there, but at some point you lose 
ownership of your stuff and it becomes Salvation Army material.

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

Reader's SIG: Will be meeting from 1-2 every other Sunday (Sundays 
where there is a general HRSFA meeting.) Don't feel like you can't come 
if you haven't read the story in advance, as the first few minutes are 
set aside for that purpose.
