Meeting called to order at 7:00 PM

President’s Report: In an announcement that will have no singing, so help me god! … it’s Lisa’s Birthday! I have been in communication with Howard Gunston, the director of facilities operations, who has been helping us find a place to move to. He wants to meet with me and one or two other officers soon.

Vice President’s Report: Um… clean? It’s apparently not the best idea to start playing “The Sims” two weeks before exams. We ran out of the super awesome trash bags, so we have to be extra diligent about taking the trash out before it gets too full.

Treasury Monkey: Everything’s fine.

Secretariat: I got nothin’. (Sorry the meeting notes are a wee bit later than usual, I couldn’t get a wireless signal so I just decided to wait and post them from home… I sure hope no one is hitting refresh waiting for them. LULZ.)

AC Report: Apparently there was some Monty Python (Phil interjects: It went very well. We’re thinking about airing Holy Grail after meeting). Next Monday there is going to be group Fable II with Adib. Our newest movies are “I Am Legend” and “Robots”. For Festivus there will be delicious subs, but we’re going to have to reallocate the amount of money because our initial estimate was too low.

Sub AC for Life: I got new movies… “Hellboy II”, “The Incredible Hulk”, and “Tank Girl”. My check had only one alphabetical error, but everything is accounted for.

Ian: I decided to randomly put on season one of “Pushing Daisies”. Tiny Phil (Minimus) deserves some props because he, not knowing I was going to put on the show, brought us a pumpkin pie.

Library Tentacle Monster: *Roman plays the middle of “Won't Get Fooled Again” from his phone* That’s it for me!

Lisa: Our unstable shelves are finally fixed. Props to Kim and Adib for fixing it. We need to start putting the books back onto the shelves during shifts. We must all give props to Orange who is currently cleaning off shelves and shifting books in the lounge.

Phil: I noticed that some of the books in the catalogue were put in without ISBNs, so I’ll be fixing that as my project.

Aaron: I’m actually working on the online catalogue again. I want people’s opinions on us putting a switch before an internal network so that people can connect directly to ResNet.
Ian: Let us not forget that we’re leaving here next semester…

Kim: When we do have to move, keep in mind that if you shrink wrap each shelf you can take the shelves by hand truck and still maintain alphabetical order without having to put books in boxes.

Historian (Orange): There are three main components of Festivus; The Airing of Grievances, the Feats of Strength, and the Festivus Pole. The Festivus Pole is not just a cheap tree, but a pole festooned with boughs! It will be decorated with condoms… holes will be poked in the condoms, so DO NOT USE THEM. During the Airing of Grievances, everyone will have a turn with the stick and can say whatever they want. Everyone in the room will not be angry about what is said (Kim interjects: If you don’t take criticism very well, you probably should leave the room). The Feats of Strength have been different every year. First was Graeco-Roman wrestling, then was tug of war over Jell-O (Roman interjects: boxes of Jell-O, but Jell-O regardless!), and most recently was jousting with rolley chairs and foam swords. The history of this event starts with an episode of Seinfeld (Phil interjects: blah blah blah Seinfeld plotline). Festivus is indeed, for-the-rest-of-us, as it has no religious affiliation.

Committees
PR (Lisa): I was able to get flyers out Friday for the Monty Python marathon. It succeeded because one guy came down… to take out a book, not watch Monty Python, but it’s still a success!

Fundraising: *Vest Paul spins in his chair*

All Other Committees: *Roman shrugs… and plays middle of “Won't Get Fooled Again” again*
Ian: *threatens Roman with a brick*
Orange: Your brick is crumbling… like your leadership.

Old Business
Ian: I would like to reallocate up to $250 for Quiznos for Festivus. This is to provide food for all of us and salad for our vegetarian friends (we know they exist…). Keep in mind that we harbour no hatred toward vegans; we simply do not have the funds to accommodate them.

- CLEAN!

New Business
Phil: Do you think we could do a run of all five “Planet of the Apes” movies?
Orange: Yes. Do it to-morrow. PLANET OF THE APES MARATHON TO-MORROW!

Announcements
Aaron: According to the Business Council, we are now officially in a recession and have been since last December.
Roman: Holy shit… I’ve been living a lie!

Ian: … Anthony, Daredevil sucks.

Kim: Happy Birthday, Lisa!
Howie: Seconded.
Ian: That was not a motion!

AA: Those who haven’t come to see my show… come see my show!
