MITSFS meeting called to order, 66.6 Ksec SST, Paul Weaver, President and Skinner, presiding; lemur (DWR), Onseck, recording.
Minutes read.
DWR: Motion to condemn the minutes for not recognizing that it's still 1860.
KKB: Motion to condemn the Onseck for not remembering the contents of previous weeks' minutes.
KCR: Motion to confuse EpicWizard.
And the determinant is 146 and all motions pass!
BING!
BING!
The Bluebellcomm overflow is dead again!
We have new book shelf copies of the Ted Chiang book, the new Laundry book, and the new Temeraire book. We also have a circulating copy of the new Laundry book.
We have lots of new magazines and, on the new mag shelf, a copy of Science Fiction Studies that talks about us and all the other huge science fiction collections of the world.
We now have a fixed huge pirate chest in the library to give the frosh rides in.
KCR: A stupid motion I didn't understand chickens 5-0-9 plus Spehn.
Redacted promises to send the library shiny things in the future.
Also, we have maple syrup cotton candy in the library!
DWR may be turning into the new ROSFAP.
KCR: Fly, you fool!
There will be no Seldon showing this week
Activities Midway 16:00-18:30 next Friday, please come.
Also, if you hold unscheduled hours this week, they will count for full credit.
The reserve compression is nearly compressed-it's a lot of compression!
We can now get at all of the magazine collection temporarily because the window was fixed.
We have a new member of Libcomm. The Onseck doesn't know who it is!
Our subscription to New York Review of Science Fiction has been renewed for another two years.
We had a really productive meeting with the developers of the Needle software, which might let us get the magazine information into a computer-readable format in a sane way.
Was muttering about something. There should have been a twelve-thousand line Zephyr, but there wasn't. Maybe Zephyr can't handle a twelve-thousand line Zephyr.
BING!
PW: The summer, it's gone!
KKB: Except it's still 90 Farenheit.
PW: In the past, there was a TARDIS on Building 7, but now there's not.
BJK: There was a crack in the window.
Where are the Comic Books? The comic books are in California. Motion to condemn Wayne B'Rells for his sex life with bicycles. Motion to condemn Irwin T. Lapeer for his sex life with electric typewriters. Bruce Miller is still skiing in Colorado. Motion to give Tom Galloway a better gag. Isaac Asimov is still dead. Hal Clement is still dead. Twilight is still staked. The Wheel of Time is still unfinished. Miss Katie is still in Singapore. The larva is still larval. Redacted is still in redacted. Cthulhu is still dead. And I think the Skinner still has a sonic screwdriver.
BING!
PW: The Onseck's voicebox has been condemned to Albania.
KR: Note that you can't understand what we're saying.
PW: Yes it can.
Discussion of the fact that the library has an Albanian dictionary.
BING!
PW: In the future it will be term.
EpicWizard: In the future, I will hopefully be back for Arisia.
PW: In the future...mumble mumble...deep-fried ice cream.
KKB is apparently stalking people? EpicWizard has a buisness card. Which, unlike the one next to the calender, is not made of silk and really pretty.
KCR: Motion to, in the future, get business cards made out of bananas printed out.
ZEK: Something about a shark made out of a banana in Chinese.
KCR's motion chickens 6-0-11 plus Spehn.
KKB: Miller motion! Fails 14-0-1 plus Spehn.
KKB: Miller motion! Passes 11-2-2 plus Spehn.
BING! Meeting adjourned, 68.4 Ksec SST.
