From acbrown @ sccs.swarthmore.edu Thu Mar 31 00:05:38 2005 Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2005 22:53:05 -0500 (EST) From: Andrew C. Brown Reply-To: presidents @ swil.org To: swilnews @ swil.org Subject: SWILNEWS #8: SWILNEWS of Appending Goth SWILNEWS OF APPENDING GOTH Mai refused to call people pathetic, even though they were. Andrew was filming everything - specifically, he's filming a documentary on SWIL to prove that we're not complete geeks (or something). Email acbrown@sccs for more details. If you haven't submitted to BEM, the absolute final deadline is 12 months from now. We then discussed SWILshirt ideas. Sharon (Chu) had to present Arthur's. We introduced ourselves to Sharon. (She's among the top three most awesome Chu's -m) (Well, I think it'd be mean to say in SWILnews that she's the most awesome Chu we've ever met. 'Cause they're both awesome... in different ways. -m) She read a note from Arthur, and did a convincing impression of Arthur headbanging, which ended in giggles. The design was SWIL World Tour. Jonathan presented "It's a SWIL wind". Jim contributed "Strangests in the Night" (with triplets of eyes). Qian had "SWIL multi .... path". There was also "SWIL together after all these years." We passed all the designs around - if you want to see them, Jillian probably has them. The SFDT topic for thursday will be Urban Planning and Alex. (how to construct your cities so that Alex will someday go to them -m) (it will degenerate into slash -c) April Fool's Day is [OMITTED TO PROTECT THE GUILTY]. You'll see. Talk to Finlay. Andrew apparently knew if the camera was going to do anything dangerous. We voted on SWILshirts. World Tour mostly won. (The design will be linked to from http://www.swil.org/shirts/ as soon as it's in some sort of finished form. -c) Since SWIL now contains a triplotte, we voted to pronounce is ZUEEL. However, we voted that ZVIL is now pronounced SWIL. We voted that the official language of SWIL is Pig Latin, and that we are not "native Esperanto speakers." It was not too early to talk about the hunt. Next week's hunt wizards will be Mary Wootters (who will be here over the summer), Emmanuelle Wambach, and Finlay Logan. These are the people who will run the hunt. They are in charge. They are shiny cloaks and pointy hats and general smackdown. We need to figure out something about the wings. Therefore the Hunt Committee will meet after meeting next week. We need someone to run snacks for Walpurgisnacht, which will be the evening of April 30th in Bond. Walpurgisnacht (pronounced in the German fashion) is a reading of stories of horror, fertility, and, because it often falls on Arbor day and this is Swarthmore, trees. Noda got a valentine (nobody loves me! -c): To Whom It May Concern: You have been replaced by Our Glorious ("Og") Leader. You shall be purged soon. Until then, please adopt a demeanor of quiet desperation. Thank you, Committee on Public (Metaphorical) Executions Andrew responded aggressively, wielding a camera. "Liberal News Media have taken over this meeting. All who oppose me are fascist pigs." The winner of the Lottery was 11, or D (Norwood, north terminal of the NYC subway line). All of the tickets were 301. Lauren won the lottery. She took the Play-Doh. The winner of the Lottery was 301. It won a storyreading in Greylock 301. We voted to keep Sharon, send back Arthur, and let Taru run the Phoenix. Jackie sang: Come and see 12th Night next week Friday through Sunday at 7 in the Rose Garden Unless it rains, then we're inside Then Abby will cry until she dies Saturday night was fully clothed gaming in Mark's room, partially clothed gaming out in the hall, and semi-sketchy kidnapping of Sharon in Jillian's room. Andrew allegedly insulted Jackie several times. She had bought Noda for a dollar, so she commanded Noda to flirt with Andrew until he regretted it. Therefore, Jillian had to flirt with Andrew and make him regret it. She's apparently not very good at flirting. (I'm sorry. You weren't. -m) If you want to contribute to Mike Cohen's Sager costume, don't go through us. We called the meeting orange. Attendance List of Noda Flashing Andrew Qian "Jillian? Noda?"
