Committee Reports

(LAK) Jour Comm - If you don't write for TZ, I'm going to break your kneecaps.

(MJG) Pseudo Sit-Comm - This is from Connie, who phoned in. There was a TV show Sunday night, called Nick Knight, about a vampire who's also a police detective. It was actually pretty good. TV Guide billed it as a Crime-Drama.

(PJN) Skinner Report - Very soon, in 2 Fridays, meetings will be moved back to 5:30. The library will also be closed during Worldcon to keep random people from wandering in and stealing books.

(A2) Moo Comm - I saw Abyss. It had a lot of neat special effects. I thought the plot was thin at times, and then events occurred which made it even thinner.

(WDS) V'ger Comm - Voyager 2 is leaving the Solar System after its encounter with Neptune.

(PJN) Fweek Comm - Elizabeth still needs people to sign up for hours during Rush.

BING!

Motion fails by Skinneral decree.

(KRJ) Motion to paint the gavel yellow so that we can sneak it into Noreascon as a banana.

Motion also fails by Skinnerial decree.
