From ricard@fas.harvard.edu Thu Dec 3 14:44:15 1998 Date: Sun, 8 Nov 1998 20:37:26 -0500 (EST) From: Lori Ricard To: Hrsfa-Announce Subject: [HRSFA-Ann.] Minutes 11/8/98 Parties: The Spring and Fall parties happened on Friday night. At the spring party we wished for warm weather for the Wyld Hunt. It miraculously happened. Unfortunately, the Scavenger Hunt did not happen. But it will. Oh it will. More about that later. Minigat: Is happening this upcoming weekend. You already have an email from Igor about it. Matt Ender will run a Paranoia game. Matt Duhan will run Teenagers from Outer Space for his players. Claudia will bring Cheapass games. Igor will bring Hrsfa games. If you want to run a game, let Igor know (teper@fas). Star Trek tapes: Are coming. The tapes and shipping against a lifetime membership. The officers made an emergency decision and asked Moiraine for them. It was retroactively approved. Library: Please help us with the Ciaraldi list! We have lots and lots of notecards. Also help us with the ongoing Library organization. I will post about this later. Arisia: Happens in January during Reading Period. The early registration deadline (= less money) is in a week! Read more about it at arisia.org. Bizarreness: If you want to hear some old ideas that have never been carried out, talk to Matt Duhan (fringe@shore.net). Hint: vampire squirrels, cloning in Widener. New Traditions: If you want to be part of some new Hrsfa traditions, talk to Matt Ender (ender@ptc.com). Web Page: We think that we should improve our web page. If you have any ideas about how to do this, let us know! If you want to help out, contact Matt Withers (withers@fas). Sig leaders: contact Withers for updating sig info. Cool Movie psig: had had 2 meetings. We need more people! Next week is a simian theme. Vote for 2 movies out of Planet of the Apes, King Kong and 12 Monkeys. Writer's Sig: Massive submissions. Meets tomorrow. Matt is hosed (and this isn't even gaming sig). Anime Sig: Will probably go to get Japanese food and crash Japanese bookstores. Info will be posted. Milk and Cookies: We want it. Pressure Withers and Lotze. MIT Readings: Are still happening. Info will be posted. Gaming: There are games happening on campus that hrsfa is not aware of (Kevin Gold, are you reading this?). Vengeance must be ours. Teenagers from Outer Space, a sample: "How can we tell over the loudspeaker that she's moving her hips?" Dusty Old Books: There are 3 insane people still looking for God and not being able to sleep. Causes for this have been found. Nils may run a D&D campaign, well, sort of D&D, well, okay, not really D&D. Not this Gameathon, but the next. Munchies sig didn't eat as much food as it could have. My roommate is very pleased about this as she is eating the leftovers.
