TWO WHITE MALE CO-PRESIDENTS SEEKING ATTRACTIVE HEADLINE.  OBJECT PUBLICITY.  SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY.  NO PROS.

What a long, strange break it's been!  But now it's over, and it's time to get back to the serious things in life.  Like Swilnews! 
Which isn't really serious [surprise!  Are you surprised?  I'M surprised! -- S], but is more serious than it might be. [By the way,
just because my compatriot was surprised does NOT mean that that was the SPECIAL SURPRISE SECTION which will appear later in this
swilnews. -- F.]

Tonight, tonight, won't be just any night.  It will in fact be a special surprise night!  (No, that wasn't the special surprise
section either.  But keep your eyes peeled.)  Tonight is in fact the Swil Annual Halloween Party--oops story-reading.  Get your two
dollars to Deb Holtzman or e-mail them to DJH91 (no, guess that won't work...).  Otherwise, a short, black-clad person on a bicycle
may menace you while you attempt to make out on the pitcher's mound of Dodger's Stadium.  The fun will begin in Bond at 8:00.  So
don't have fun before then (or anywhere else)!  Persons who go and see Psycho will be expected to attend the party either before or
after.  Or both.  But without butcher knives or showers.  Expect games, laughter, fun, costumes, sexual innuendo [and what I say is
when love goes out the door, money comes innuendo -- Groucho], different costumes (and we mean different!), and the same people
that you've been eating brunch with on Saturdays for lo these many moons.

You didn't clap hard enough.  Samuel Delaney won't be here this autumn.  Try again in the spring.  And clap REAL hard.

Philcon will be the weekend before Thanksgiving.  Go, or miss it.  But don't blame us.  We told you.

In a final triumphant bit of news, [drum roll, please], [look out for those rolling drums!!!!], [look out for those rolling commas,
too, eh?], the Jonathan D. Wald Memorial Storage Space has been dismantled.  There are no more of Jon's boxes in George.  Having
thus complete our task as co-presidents, we are now able to announce that ELECTIONS WILL BE HELD ON SATURDAY DECEMBER 1, 1990.  At
that time, all voting non-members (this could be YOU, even if it ain't now.  Come to meetings to make your voice heard!) will vote. 
Remember, your future is ahead of you.  ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1990, NOMINATIONS WILL BE ENTERTAINED.  (Three-martini lunch
optional).  Be prepared to convince the electorate of your qualifications and existence (not necessarily in that order of
importance).  More on this at the meeting Saturday.
