We'll begin with a call for submission. T-shirts are due by Sat. the 13th, and BEM stories are due to Stephen And Roo sometime Real Soon Now (tm). We've got a couple more T-shirt ideas from a variety of sources, but more are always welcome! Bring them on! We won't stop until Avogadro's Number is a dim dwindling point behind us, and the submissions themselves collapse into the biggest black hole Sharples has ever seen (and that's saying something)! As has been mentioned, Lynn Westling, physics prof extraordinaire, wishes to visit our little group to ask for help designing a science in sf course. Ideas are needed, so send them to one of us or wait until she herself comes to call. Current topic of interest: CHAOS. Like so:ghfhjd 849yt25u [80tjghweather patternsuhwguiertyf7hr Rackify thine brains. Y'all should've received a list of SWIL-type TV shows for this week, and can look forward to future installments. (Ooh, ooh, yowza.) Anything that has been left unmentioned that people are interested in can be added--for instance, it didn't include "Quantum Leap" 'cos it's not really sf (or all that good anymore, ioho), but if there's a big QL contingent out there, let us know. Valentine's Day is barreling towards us like an 18-wheeler full of pink custard, so everybody prepare yourselves for the Massacree due to happen. Andrea will have details at the upcoming meeting. And don't forget the weekly broadcasting of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on Jere7my's show, every week at (get this?) 5 PM on Sundays. That's a different time than you were told last week, but don't be confused, just tune in. (This is all assuming copyright stuff works out.) coda @10*<---neutronium FOR JANUARY 30th 1993 Charles "Happy Jan 30 everyone!"
