Minn-StF Meeting at Blaisdell Poly

Sunday we hosted the Minn-StF meeting. Despite some confusion about the start time (with the Einblatt published saying 4pm, but normal policy being later determined to have gone back to 2pm), and LiveJournal postings indicating we were really aiming for 4 (but wouldn't be upset at people coming at 2), we got some people as early as 3pm. This suggests to me that the Board was right in ending the 4pm experiment (moving back to 2pm as the usual starting time).

Geri Sullivan was back in town, and made it to the meeting for quite a while. I was apparently not the only person happy to get to see her again. She brought a box of Pearson's Milk Chocolate Bun candies, a childhood favorite of hers. I just ate one, and they're remarkably good.

Carol Kennedy brought over a good amount of leftovers from Minicon that were also left over from their meeting, which simplified my shopping considerably. (I still spent nearly three times the stipend not counting use of liquor out of stock, but that's my choice, and I was doing some expensive and optional extras; I have no complaints about the budget Minn-StF provides to meeting hosts, and Minn-StF doesn't have money to just burn.)
