SWILBusiness: 1. Schlock will happen 4-6 May. The schedule is: Mon Kirby Yor: The Hunter from the Future Tue Dupont The Maze (3-D) Wed Kirby The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies (the musical) All movies will be shown at 8. We are looking for a projectionist for "The Maze", so if you know how to use the projector or want to learn, e-mail us. 2. This week's movie is THX-1138. You should all come. It's good. 3. This year's Spamageddon event is the Spam Pinata. It will be destroyed by us on 5 May (Cinco de Mayo) at 2:30pm in the belltower. 4. Arbor Day is not SWILBusiness, but is in the notes anyway. Oh well. Happy Arbor Day. 4.5. A two-ton sheep did not appear in Sharples Room 4 during SWIL meeting. However, if it had, it would have been SWIL Business. 5. T-shirts will happen before 10 May. There are going to be a few extras, so if you didn't order one and know now that you will want one, e-mail chaos @ sccs to reserve it. More information is forthcoming. Really. 6. In a perfect world, BEM will be available at the next SWIL meeting. In this world, we can't even reliably get pog. But BEM will happen sometime this semester, even if Heather has to hunt us down individually to give it to us. 7. Wal-something or other. Could be -purgisnacht, could be -mart. It will happen in Sharples III on Saturday, 2 May, starting at 8 pm. Bring horror and/or fertility stories. 8. SWIL Dress-Up Day didn't happen. Then it didn't happen again. Well, it sort of happened the second time. Hlokk is still slightly purple. 9. This Wednesday, 29 April, is "Bring Your Phone to Dinner" Night. Bring your phone to dinner. Tell your friends to bring their phones to dinner. Bring your friends' phones to dinner. And remember: your voicemail WILL be recorded even if your phone is not plugged in, so it's okay. Really. 10. Senior Remembrances will happen the week after next (9 May) at SWIL Meeting, so bring all your favourite stories about senior SWILlies and people who were once SWILlies. All seniors in either category are encouraged to show up at meeting, since you won't know what we're saying about you otherwise. 11. The SWIL Board looks somewhat better now. Yay! If you have photos of SWIL activities that you'd be willing to donate to the board, give them to Amy. 12. Books were ordered from Amazon, and will be here soon. We think. We have a new shelf in Cordwainer. Yay! We need to organize it. 13. We will be voting on SWIL Movies next week. E-mail your nominations before the meeting. 14. SWIL has a newsgroup, _swat.org.swil. Post to it. Hlokk is really sick of checking the newsgroup and finding that she is yet again the only one who has posted to it. Non-SWILBusiness 1. There is a new episode of Buffy this week, so Megan is having a welcome-back party on Tuesday at 10. 2. The most recent Babylon 5 episode, "The Corps Is Mother, The Corps Is Father" will be shown tonight at 7:30 in Greylock 301. 3. Eoj will show "Galaxy Express 999" sometime soon. Really.
