Feb. 19th Meeting

Had some ideas that I'll bring up at the meeting.

1. Group Pictures - I think that we (the group) should work on our outfits and put up some cash to get some professional photos taken.  We can plan on having these done in May or June or something, which would give us a deadline to work with (for the usual costume construction, weightloss, facial hair growth, hair cuts, etc etc).
2. Patches - We have a logo.  Do we want patches?
3. Film Showing - I liked Steven's idea of showing films.  Since we are considered a "club" (as opposed to a "business" or a "non-profit") we have use of the Fair Use Clause which means that we can show whatever films we want without having to pay royalties.  If we wanted to make a profit, THEN we would have to seek out the film companies to pay royalties.  If we just had an open showing of a few steampunk movies - meaning that we weren't charging for the viewing of the movies - then we DON'T have to pay royalties (because of the Fair Use Clause).
