Scifi News:

• New Star Trek comics from Wildstorms are starting in 2 weeks - there will be one-shots and miniseries, and maybe some New Frontier material.
• JMS's "Rising Stars" comic #3 will be out soon.
• Part of Pocketbooks' 2001 schedule is out, and it includes a Section 31 crossover, some what-if novellas, the Battle of Betazed, and a new DS9 series.
• Pokemon the First Movie is out this week.
• News on a new Star Trek series: It will not be New Frontier, a Birth of the Federation series, or X-files-ish Section 31 series. It will be out in January or September 2001.
• News on the Star Trek IMAX movie: It seems to be on the back burner for business reasons.

Miscellaneous:

• After the meeting we all went to the closest campus phone and called up Aaron Balder, the winner of our Episode I Grand Prize: a set of stills from the movie. He had to be reminded of who we were and what raffle he had entered, but it all worked out in the end.
