From mpucik @ sccs.swarthmore.edu Thu Apr 14 13:00:58 2005 Date: Wed, 6 Apr 2005 23:40:38 -0400 (EDT) From: mpucik @ sccs.swarthmore.edu Reply-To: presidents @ swil.org To: swilnews @ swil.org Subject: SWILnews #9 is blue and bitter and (Mai's) blanket SUMMARY: Order t-shirts. (send t-shirt email?) Go to Walpurgisnacht. Sleep. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SWILnews #9 is blue and bitter and blanket The rabble were non-pathetic, especially since so many of them were up so late. Jerome is running food for Walpurgisnacht. He will presumably ask you for $3 before Walpurgisnacht, $4 at, or $5 after, and you will give it to him. Walpurgisnacht will be in Bond April 30th, beginning at 10 pm. It might be relocated to Denby Backsmoker at Bryn Mawr around 2 am, or whenever the last shuttle runs, so that people can see (or be in) longsword at 5:45, and go to May Day. We voted on ink colors for SWILshirts. The available ink colors will be silver (or white if there's no silver) and red. If you want a white t-shirt, you are officially crazy; we'll declare this at next week's meeting, if you like. Lauren Smith will send out an announcements email shortly, as soon as she determines which colors are available. The deadline to order is two weeks from Saturday, unless we push it back. Alex is gayer in Lauren's memories than in real life. There was a hunt committee meeting after meeting. If you care about the hunt and haven't subscribed to the hunt list, do so. (email majordomo @ swil.org with 'subscribe hunt' in the body of the message). Due to his insane, sleepless blathering, Andrew is turning into a Sim. (or some sort of... parsing ... of that... -m) (Look at my mantis! -f) (where? ... OH MY GOD! -c) We awarded to Adam the title of "Non-Standard Bearer of Justice". He wanted Standard Bearer of Justice. (argument about theology, souls, and the eating of crickets is omitted for your enlightenment. -c) Arthur threatened to dance on the table. (oh, that's a filthy lie -m) LOTTERY: Arthur then won the lottery. He got Magic Cards. (note the lack of a (tm), (R), "if you write this down without paying us money, we'll sue", etc. -m) Mai arrived, with lottery prizes. NONSWILBUSINESS: Twelfth Night ran for two more nights. It was awesome. You should have seen Jamison's hat. It was like his hat, but bigger. Also, Arthur. The last Puckers was on Sunday. Mark went. The Jazz Band performance was on Saturday at 8 pm. Mark went and was spiffy. (I hate Adam -m) Ben fed two people scallops. They lived, so it probably wasn't poisonous. You should take up Ben's offer to feed you. There was a second lottery. Andrew, acting as a random number generator, called out "twelve!" Mark won. We declared this not to count. We rolled a D20. It came up twelve. Mark won. Then, it was pointed out that the second lottery should include everyone who arrived before Mai, which is to say, everyone. We renumbered people, and started counting off numbers to the left of the presidents. Mark was twelfth. We gave up and let him win the lottery. He won a set of political cards. We gave Emmanuelle a prize, too, because we felt sorry for her. Then we left.
