 SEPTEMBER 20 GENERAL ASSEMBLY #17 MINUTES
 
 Attendees*:
 Meann
 Aids
 Oneal
 Joran
 Hec
 Ricky
 Emil
 Earl
 Azrael
 Rain
 Rej
 
 * Because I was late and because I don't feel like anything today, I've
 decided to give 100 points to everyone who attended the assembly, regardless
 of what time they arrived or whether they signed up or not. But I will be
 subtracting the customary 10 points from myself for being late. If I forgot
 anyone in the list of attendees, do post and I will amend the list. Thanks.
 
 What was discussed:
 
 1) Mos Eisley Night Evaluation
 - the Sunday sked is a problem for some, because there is work the next
 day. this might have affected attendance, and many people had to go home
 early
 - quote from Gary: "I hate the poster". :D
 - something should be happening while the bands are performing sound checks
 so as not to lose the audience's attention
 - venue: parking problems
 - more people in costumes!
 - more of the "Star Wars element"!
 - tighter security at the entrance. Aids suggested assigning someone
 dressed as a Royal Guard to stand at the entrance. (intimidating and
 effective)
 - distribute flyers containing announcements, instead of announcing them
 during the event.
 
 2) Next Mos Eisley Night is scheduled for November 29, 2003, still at
 Millenia Cafe. Oh, yeah, it's a Saturday this time.
 
 3) Suggestions for New Worlds 2
 - create a "costume committee", a group that will compile costuming
 resources, and will help design and create costumes for SWP members
 - Seminar/Workshop suggestions:
 * About Collecting
 * About Costuming
 * "Star Wars 101"
 * Lightsaber Fighting Techniques
 - Contest suggestions:
 * Create your own SW alien
 * Grand Moff Trivia Game (more high-tech, and hosted by GM Patrick
 himself, in costume. ;) )
 * Arcade games/console games
 - Star Wars Storytelling (for kids?)
 - Possible premiere of the SWP fanfilm, "Checkmate", and the Stormballs
 Mockumentary
 - Performance by the Stormballs (do we even need to list this down?)
 - Demonstration by the Lightsaber Suicide Squad
 
 What else happened:
 - Aids regaled us with the possible story of Episode 3, and *shudder* it
 all makes sense (Note to Aids: send to me na and upload!!! :D )

 SOME STATISTICS:
 - out of the 183 "members" listed by Yahoogroups, there are 35 scoring members, that's 19.21% of the total number, which is a fairly good figure.  :) actually, it's not an accurate figure, since some people are subscribed  to the group with multiple accounts. that figure could actually be higher.

 | Event:  Mos Eisley Night 
 
 August 31, 2003 --- Millenia Cafe
 
 
 In homage to the Mos Eisley Cantina featured in Star Wars: Episode 4 - A New Hope,
 Star Wars Philippines put up Mos Eisley Night.  People came in costumes, not necessarily from the Star Wars saga.  They had fun watching the most hilarious Star Wars fanfilms, and listening to emergent bands, The Itchyworms,
 The Purplechickens, Narda, The Late Isabel, Fish Trio, and Doh'Ahou.
