MITSFS Meeting Minutes

Friday, January 18, 2002




MITSFS meeting called to order, 1700 SST, John Carr, Pseudo-President and Skinner, presiding. Ed Keyes is the ultra-low-power Onseck.

Minutes skim-read.

(John) "We buy the books, we run the library."

M: approve the minutes as practically perfect in every way. Amended as impractically perfect. 2-0-0 +Spehn.

BING!

Committee Reports

The Onseck's rug has been rotated.

Mobcomm: a year ago got us a subscription to a British publisher, a book a month. Falling behind, new offer for a book every quarter.

The stealth Bluebellcommer has been at work again.

BING!

Old Business

The skinner is not here, nor the Chancellor. (John) "The Guild must die."

Damnation Alley still closed.

Usual motion.

BING!

New Business

The new Lackey books is about to circulate, but have no fear, because two more are already in the pipeline.

"Bikini Planet" is better than it looks. A thousand words versus a picture...

Someone called up and insisted we were a writing group. Also insisted that NESFA has a regular schedule.

Pseudo-Theftcomm: Dave Kern is about to hit the bottom of the TIF.

Ed claims the 5-6 hour today.

Greg Bear wrote a book about bacteria ruling the Earth. Tapping into the power of mitochondria...

BING!

Future Business

(John) "Sing for me, Onseck."

M: bacteria-infested rotting bananas could rule the world. (John) "I'd do what they told me." Passes yoga exercise-1-1 +Spehn.



Meeting adjourned, 1718 SST.




Respectfully submitted,
Ed Keyes, Onseck
