Meeting minutes 4/24/05
From: Elena Udovina <eudovina@fas.harvard.edu> 
Date: Sun Apr 24 2005 - 17:44:16 PDT

Agenda
For some reason, the word is surrounded by lots of scribbling. Maybe it's 
soap bubbles. It was somehow connected with "awesome," so that seems likely.

1. Prefrosh events
2. Hitchhikers
3. Star Wars (boo?)
3a. Kung Fu Hustle
4. T-shirts
5. Summer list
6. Just kidding
7. Lowry's lunch
8. SIGs
9. Munchtastic ! ! ! ! <~~ porcupine

---PREFROSH---
For some scheduling reason which Noam could not recall, they're all on 
Saturday. Noteables have a concert on Saturday, so we need volunteers for 
tabling until then. Michael and Lamont volunteer themselves.
Concurrently with tabling we have gaming, manned by, as far as I can tell, 
God-knows-who. Noam, please tell me somewhere between you and Elisabeth 
there's God?
After gaming, we have MST3K, which will be rehearsed by then. MST3K needs 
to be recorded.
Because I'm an idiot and forgot about the existence of a father (I acquire 
one of those things on specifically that Saturday), I can't do the 
recording of MST3K. Neither can Yves. Somebody else, volunteer themselves 
now. Yves will give you equipment and training.
Following MST3K, there will be Milk and Cookies at 10.

There are plans for writing things on swans and handing those out at 
tabling. The swans are to be folded out of paper. The folding of swans is 
likely to occur on Tuesday.

---HITCHHIKERS---

probably in no other font - my apologies):

There's Mauro's concert on Friday. There are RPGs on Sunday. As of the 
meeting, the consensus was for Sunday, leaving after Noteables ~7pm. Lamont 
will be reserving tickets. Send Lamont (lajames@fas) an email by Tuesday at 3.

---STAR WARS---
Kaitlin: "Chris would like to cry first" <Chris cries.>
Lamont will go see Episode 3 (5/19) because the first two sucked and they 
have a lot of Jedi to kill by the 4th one. Send Lamont an email by the end 
of the week.

---KUNG FU HUSTLE---
The exfernal saw it, and it was good. They have guys dancing with small 
axes. HRSFA should go see it some time between Hitchhikers and Star Wars. 
Again, email Lamont.

---T-SHIRTS---
If you want to see the picture, try to convince Kaitlin, who drew it, to 
give you one. It will have "Because friends don't let friends choose 
wisely" on the back. Chris will do the actual organizing of the t-shirting.

---SUMMER LIST---
See Yves' email on the subject. There exists hrsfa-summer, and if you'll be 
in Boston over the summer, you should sign up for it.

---LOWRY'S LUNCH---
Louis Lowry, author of The Giver among other things, will be having lunch 
with us on Monday 5/2 at 1:30, though we don't yet know where. Send Michael 
an email SOON if you plan on coming.

---SIGS---
1. Cartoons: tonight, at 10.
2. MST3K: Kowarsky: "We will rehearse. <Matt giggles.> No, really, we'll 
rehearse. <Matt giggles hysterically.> Ok, I will rehearse, and fuck you 
all." When and where TBA. Yves still needs somebody to record it. If you 
didn't volunteer yourself the first time I said this, do it now.
MST3K watched Timeline, which is the current favorite for riffing for next 
year. They'll attempt to watch Manos: The Hands of Fate for the 3rd time on 
Thursday. You should come and see it.
3. Wold of Warcraft Ate My Life SIG would like to report that... yeah.
4. Gaming will happen this Friday. Cody will come late because he promised 
to come to Mauro's concert, but he'll be there after the concert, and he'll 
provide games.
5. Baking SIG may or may not make Charoseth (if I'm not mistaken, that's 
one way of anglicizing that). Talk to Cody if you're interested.
6. Build Shit and Blow Shit Up SIG went over to SPS because of something 
involving the movement of little green pieces of paper. Hopefully, some 
building / blowing up action will happen before the end of the year. Talk 
to Ed about it.
7. Frisbee SIG will defeat SPS on Sunday, 5/1, at 2pm at Cambridge Common. 
People should come defeat SPS.
8. Fusion SIG will meet when it has time.
9. Wagon Fulla Pancakes SIG has acquired a wagon. Baking SIG offered to 
provide pancakes.
10. Writing SIG wants you to give it things to workshop.
11. Anachronistic Gaming had no knowledgeable representative, but we think 
it will probably meet on Tuesday.
12. Cool Movie SIG will meet at 9:15 on Tuesday (I think?), and will watch 
Schindler's List, err, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
13. LARP wants you all to come to the next meeting of the LARP (on the 
14th) and at least observe. Kaitlin will try to have food for you all.
14. There will be a Mage game run by Kaitlin over the summer. See the 
-summer list.
15. There will most likely be a Milk and Cookies in May that is not on the 
prefrosh weekend.
16. Matt found a world-building RPG online called Lexicon. He'll send an 
email about this.
17. Leftovers SIG: Cool Movies watched Death to Smoochie. If you have game 
cube controllers that you'd be willing to lend to people so that there may 
be video gaming not in Quincy 311, you should throw them at people. (The 
people seem to be Matt Granoff and somebody else.)

As this may or may not have been the last meeting of the year, we may or 
may not have to deal with the budget in some non-meeting-y manner. More 
details to come later.

Good job on reading up to this point. Go get a cookie from the big cookie jar.
<~~~Elena.~~~>
