[Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy... --D] The Most Honorable Saint Valentine, on His day, had to him dedicated one (1) Massacree of a veritable multitude of munching mobsters. Meanwhile, many mean men (and Beth) mowed mercilessly most. Well, all. So yeah, the massacree happened - well done, folx. Andrea Hall has volunteered to be in charge of it next year. We seem to be starting a tradition of early suckerism. We, as presidents, approve. If anyone wants pictures of the carnage, talk to Gloria Wong (gwong1) [Just for the onomatopeia --B] [Diet Coke? --D] Oh - this is important. DING DING DING - relevance alert, relevance alert! NEXT MEETING, IE SATURDAY 22 FEBRUARY, WE WILL NOT BE IN ROOM 6!!! WE WILL BE IN SOME SMALLER ROOM (we meaning Bondage - Discipline has a college bowl meet in Maryland)!! DON'T BE DUMB AND WALK INTO THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CONFERENCE SHOUTING "NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPAMISH INQUISITION!" Bondage will put a sign on the door, won't you, Bondage? [Um, well, {heh heh} Sure, Discipline! --B] Would you like to see everybody wearing what's inside YOUR head? Well then, [stand in a crowd and have someone shoot you in the temple! --D] [NO, silly King. As I was saying: --B] Well then, design a T-shirt for SWIL by apres-Spring Break, and give it to Nao Parkhurst! Ask pretty much anybody for previous years' shirts if you want a general idea. Also, if you draw like Beartrap Joe, the no-handed cowboy, and just want to suggest a slogan, feel free to do so. BaltiCon 26, the speculative fiction convention of the ex-Soviet Union (joke) [Sheesh -- D], will be held in Baltimore from 17-19 April. If you want to go, talk to Jeff Hildebrand. We came to a few decisions at the last meeting. After we voted to have a vote, we first decreed that our acquisitions budget should not be spent on a complete hardback edition of the works of Piers Anthony. Also, Andrea Hall, minister of propaganda, declared that we should not join the community resource center, but instead that people who are requesting propaganda should chip in and get art supplies. For those of you who like Graphic Novels [Graphic? What? --B] Fish Police will soon be a prime time cartoon series on some major network, probably one with an S in it. Or a C. Might be cool, might be dumb. The third Star Trek series is supposedly due out sometime too--ask Jeff Hildebaby about details on both. [And see Fisher King--a neat Terry Gilliam movie about the Grail and stuff! Friday at 7:30 and 10:00 in DuPont, methinks. Consider it a recommendation. --B] Finally, the attendance for 2/15/92: Jeff "I'm surrounded by rabbits. Loud rabbits!"
