Minutes, 5-12-04


1)	Showing of “Avalon” with PASA

	This will definitely take place on Thursday the 20th.  Shawn will email PASA asking for the exact time
	and telling them about the “dumpling wars” (Gyoza vs. Pierogi) idea that we have.  We will get about
	$30 worth of Gyoza from a restaurant in Chinatown (email the listhost if you can come to get the Gyoza
	on Thursday before the showing).


2)	Iron Chef Footage

	This is actually on Toshio’s hard drive.  Mitcho will edit it over the summer, so before then he will
	have to get it onto _his_ hard drive.


3)	Summer Breeze

	This is taking place Saturday, May 22.  We will try to do sumo wrestling with Polaroid picture taking
	(the wrestling will be free, but patrons will have to pay for the Polaroid).  Shawn will call the
	companies that he has numbers for.  If sumo wrestling falls through, then we will turn to kendo with
	picture taking (Cassie and Satomi know a little about this).  It is a little dangerous though.  If that
	falls through, we will try to have face cut-outs in large ukiyoe-esque backdrops with Polaroid picture
	taking, but we will really have to get on the stick if we are doing that.  Other alternatives include
	Dance Dance Revolution, selling/making iced mochi (which can be purchased at Trader Joe’s in Skokie or
	the Chinatown supermarket), and ramune taste testing (we could get the ramune from Trader Joe’s in
	Skokie or the Korean supermarket near Chinatown).  Estimated expenditure: $800.


4)	Board Positions

	The board positions go like this:

	President: me
	Vice President: Aza
	Treasurer: Cassie (Spring, Winter), Shawn and I (Fall)
	Secretary: me, until we get a first-year rep to fill this position
	Technician/Techie (website administration*, video editing, etc.): Mitcho
	Recruiter (of Hot Boys): Mari
	Marketer: Aza and Mitcho
	Special Events Coordinator/Kaga: Shawn

	*have to talk to Diana Doty in RC 001 about getting website administration authority


5)	PanAsia Receipts

	Vince should turn in his PanAsia receipts to Annie or someone else from PanAsia to get his money back.


6)	Citibank Check

	Cassie will call Citibank asking where this thing is.


7)	Final Study Break

	We will hold this either in Osaka Garden, at the Point, or in the Midway during tenth week.  The food
	will come from downtown Ginza, if possible (does anyone [Sonny, Sayaka?] have their phone number?).
	Otherwise, it will come from Matsuya of Belmont.  (We will try to establish a long-term relationship
	with the caterer.  Also, next year Aza will have a car that can shuttle us between the caterer and the
	University.)  But the most exciting part shall be smashing watermelons! (we will have to buy three of
	these and a bat) and flying kites! (weather permitting).  Estimated expenditure: $500.
