Minutes of Spring 2008
3/11/08
Legitimate Notes:
A. Attendance: Four board members were at the
meeting, and seven people total showed up.
B. We will be doing a game show-like thing
called “You Threw off My Gaydar.” More information will be given
when it’s available.
C. Joyce, a student here at Eau Claire, is
looking for someone interested in giving a presentation on the LGBT rights
movement for her SOC class. If you’re interested, please email her at
bertrajf@uwec.edu<mailto:bertrajf@uwec.edu>. If more than one person
would like to do it, that would be great! “The more the merrier!”
D. On March 13th from 7:00 – 9:00 PM there is
an LGBT Campus/Community Appreciation Ceremony at UW-Superior.
E. On March 16th at 6:00 PM there will be a
meeting at the LGBT Community Center to discuss whether or not it will close
in a few weeks. If you’ll be here and you care about the center, you
need to go; they want to hear what the community has to say.
F. On Sunday, March 23, we’ll be
going to the Twin Cities for a night of fun before spring break ends.
We’ll be going to The Gay 90’s for sure, and maybe another place
or two. We’ll be leaving at 6:00 PM and will be getting dinner on
the way.
G. UW-Stout is having their drag show on March 31st,
and we’ll be going as a group to that instead of having a meeting. If
you’d like to go, meet at Towers at 6:00 PM.
H. The bake sale will be on April 2nd instead of Wednesday,
as originally planned.
I. The drag show has been
rescheduled for April 11th at Higher Ground at 7:30 PM. If you are interested
in performing or know someone who is interested in performing, please email
Ryan Heath at heathrd@uwec.edu . Include your real name and your drag name in
the email. We will be spray painting and making posters for the show soon.
J. There will be a CASA event April
21st at noon in the Davies Center.
K. Day of Silence is April 25th.
L. We might be having a dance in May.
Everything Else:
A. In Minnesota, you can be naked in public
if…you’re behind glass. Anyone up for a game of Balderdash?
B. As President, Hillary Clinton would not be able to
escape “the taint, the stench of it.” Confused? Go ask the crazy
man at Perkins.
C. Blair from “The Facts of Life” has a
boring sex life.
D. If you want to see “I Am Legend”, save the
money for renting it and come to the next meeting and ask Dakota about it.
It’s much more entertaining to hear he reenact it.
E. Mountain Dew or motor oil? What about butter and
sleeping bags? As long as the broomstick is left in the garage, it’s
going to be OK as far as I’m concerned.

people total were there.
B. MBLGTACC was last weekend. Everyone had a great
time, and we discussed what we learned and took away from it.

it’s available.
D. We will be having a bake sale soon (probably on a

out.

there is an LGBT Campus/Community Appreciation Ceremony at UW-Superior.
G. On March 16th at 6:00 PM there will be a meeting at the LGBT

you care about the center, you need to go; they want to hear what the

Randomness
A. “Oh Dale…”
B. The LGBT center would be more successful if Old
Greg made the occasional appearance.
C. Shane is going out with a girl. And by
“going out with” I mean “made a myspace account for.”
And by “a girl” I mean “his ‘Rocky Horror’
persona.”
D. The song is called “And I Ran”, but you can
really insert any words you want in place of them.
E. Ryan H. is autistic…or something.
F. Business people dressing up and accountants
dressing up are completely unrelated.
2/18/08
Real Notes:
A. All exec board members were at the meeting, except for
Ruth. Nine people showed up total.
B. For Day of Silence (April 25th) we have campus
mall reserved all day and we’ll have a booth.
C. Missy Collins will be at the next meeting. There
will be food!
D. The drag show is on March 28th, but we still have to
hear back from Higher Ground.
E. MBLGTACC is this weekend! We still have an open
spot(s?); if you’d like to come this weekend, contact an exec board
member and they’ll help get everything set up. It should be a really
good time!
F. We might go clubbing in the Twin Cities
sometime soon.
G. There will be a panel for Sexual Assault Awareness Week
(through CASA) on April 21st at noon in the Davies Center.
H. Our Constitution has been finalized.
I. Anyone who wants to come early next
week to help set up for Missy Collins is welcome!
J. We are having a Sexperts party on May
5th at 8:00 in the Towers basement.
Weird Stuff:
A. “Rocky Horror” was awesome, minus the
trailer trash at Heckel’s (and Alice and Hunter…) Apparently just
because you see a movie doesn’t mean you actually know what it’s
about. And if you’re ever not sure whether or not you’re wearing
makeup, just go to Heckel’s; someone will tell you.
B. Shane has fantastic Tina Turner hair.
C. Derek may or may not be a spy…
D. Dale “pops” a lot of things.
2/11/08
Actual Notes:
A. Sorry to the new members about how boring the meeting
was; we had to go through our constitution, and there’s no fun way to
do that.
B. Attendance: All exec board members were present,
except for Ruth. Eleven people were there altogether.
C. Freedom to Marry Week is this week. Ryan and Paul
are getting married Wednesday (today, the 13th) at noon on campus mall. There
might be cake, but it’s not for sure.
D. We still have an open seat for MBLGTACC which is next
weekend (not this coming weekend.) If you know anyone who might want to go,
tell them about it! It’s going to be a great time.
E. We have a booth for “The Vagina Monologues”
on the 27th and the 28th from 6:30 – 7 and also during the
intermission. If you want to help with the booth, get there by 6:15.
We’re going to hand out condoms. J
F. Friday, March 28th is the drag show.
G. Day of Silence is April 25th.
H. There will be a CASA event April 21st at noon in the
Davies Center.
I. Dakota updated our web site! Check it
out: http://www.uwec.edu/spectrum
J. We will probably either have a bake
sale or a social in March.
K. We might be doing a clubbing night in the Twin Cities.
L. “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is on
Friday at Council Fire! We will be meeting in the lobby by the Service
Center. Our backup meeting place is the lobby by the Council Fire room. You
should try to get your tickets before Friday and get there by 11:30.
M. Missy Collins will be coming to the first meeting after
MBLGTACC and giving a sweet presentation on her pregnancy, her partner, etc.
Be there!
N. On Wednesday, March 12th, we will have a GLBT Rights
Movement Panel from 4:00 – 5:15. Tanya might be able to help out.
O. The LGBT Center will be open every Sunday starting the
weekend after MBLGTACC.
Weirdness:
A. Oscar is in college, but don’t let him fool you;
he’s actually illiterate. Shh…
B. Cooking may lead to the discovery of new sex
positions.
C. Sex isn’t that fun for Dale…unless you
incorporate power tools. Tempting, I know…
D. Dale “has the bitch packed in a closet,” the
bitch being his drag queen alter ego.
E. Cannibals are kind of weird, but we don’t
judge Dale for being one.
F. It’s common knowledge that
irregardless is not a word, but irimmortal can be debated.
G. Yes, Dakota, Paul actually has had a semester of college
at this point. He’s sorry for having misled you…?
H. When questioned about his age, Dale may respond with
something like, “Bitches, I knock you out!”, just for future
reference.
I. If you ever need to write a paper for
the following day, don’t expect any sympathy from Dale; “Bitch,
sit and spin” is probably the best response you’ll get.
2/4/08
Actual Notes:
A. Attendance: Nine people showed up this week
– Dale, Ryan H., Shane, Ruth, Dakota, Nicole, Ryan L., Tanya, and Paul
B. Freedom to Marry Week is next week, and
we’re probably going to have mock marriages. Ryan and Paul might be
participating, as well as Dakota and Ruth. Paul checked his schedule and can
actually do it if Ryan wants to. Tanya is going to reserve campus mall for
the event, and we’re thinking about ordering 50 or so buttons with
“Love is Love” (or something similar) on them. There also might
be cake!
C. There will be a CASA event April 21st at
noon in the Davies Center. So far Dale, Tanya, Nicole, and Paul have
expressed interest in helping out.
D. March 28th is the drag show.
E. “The Rocky Horror Picture
Show” is next Friday at Council Fire! We will be meeting in the lobby
by the Service Center. Our backup meeting place is the lobby by the Council
Fire room. You should try to get your tickets before Friday and get there by
11:30. Dress up or you might have to play “virgin games”, or don’t
if you’re into that :)
F. You can visit Dale at the LGBT Center
this Sunday as well as other Sundays (ask Dale for a specific schedule of
when he’s there.)
G. Next week we’ll discuss the changes to our
constitution.
Everything Else:
A. God doesn’t have eyes. And if he/she
does, he/she has a billion of them. He/she may or may not also have
tentacles.
B. Social work professors get pleasure out of
the chicken dance.
C. Dale is going to give us a speech prior to
leaving for MBLGTACC, not unlike those given to the Mighty Ducks.
D. Dakota enjoys Hannah Montana and therefore
should be publicly humiliated and sacrificed. We’ll be voting on how
much we value her life next week, so be sure you show up.
1/28/08
Legitimate Notes:
A. All exec board members attended the meeting. Good work, kids.
B. Twelve people total showed up.
C. The Blugold Organizations Bash (BOB) is on Wednesday from 11 – 2 in
the Council Fire Room.

Paul Williams: Not sure, but I’ll try to be there from 12 – 1
D. We will be doing something for Day of Silence when it comes up in April
(25th?)

F. This spring’s drag show will be either in late March or early April.
G. We might be doing another pizza/bowling event.
H. We should and might have a dance…

later…
Ridiculous Comments:
A. Contrary to popular belief (or at least the belief of some creep in film
class) the first CD player was in fact made in 1982. WHAT NOW.
B. Tanya is old and poor.
C. Dale needs to graduate.
D. Matches from the ARCW are for people to have their phone number, and not,
in fact, to promote drug use. I know. My whole world has been turned upside
down.
E. Gary, Indiana either smells like pigs or raw sewage, depending on your
location.
F. Tanya can go “a long ways without stopping.” Yikes.
G. Ryan has had people “check inside [his] bag many times.”
H. Too much vagina is bad news for Eve Ensler.
I. Tanya views elections neither as horse races nor as whore races.
J. Dale needs to keep his pants on in gender neutral bathrooms.
K. I taste good…?
L. Fundraising at the bookstore? More like SUCKSTORE. Apparently we’re
never doing that again. Ever.
M. Ryan doesn’t like coffee and subsequently hates Tanya.
N. Ryan doesn’t like the greatest band of all time. For serious.
O. Tanya likes emotional S and M with Dale. Dale was not available for
comment.
That's it for the week. I hope I've somewhat lived up to Ryan Heath's legacy
haha :)
