Before the meeting really got started, everyone had fun with Christian
Bale's crazy rant and commercials for the Snuggie and Slap-Chop.

We met today at 5pm instead of our usual time of 5:30pm. Someone
mentioned that this may have messed with people's minds and caused
attendance to drop. This claim has not been tested, however.

For much of the meeting, various people tried to ascertain the
condition of the 16mm camera that has been sitting in the equipment
room for who knows how long. The camera is an Arriflex 16 S.
Apparently it does actually work, although some problems were noted,
including:
	- Case is basically shot (foam pieces everywhere)
	- One lens has faulty iris/aperture
	- Viewfinder on camera has displaced targeting reticule
	- Batteries are in questionable status

Everyone gathered around and watched in amazement. It was decided
that we should shoot something on it soon, because A) we need to
know if it is actually good for shooting and B) we need to have fun.

Most of the rest of the meeting consisted of a line-by-line reading
off and discussion of the proposed budget for the club for the next
academic year (2009-2010). The final proposed budget is due to the
JFC by 11:59pm on Monday, 2/9/09. The commentary on the budget items
was helpful and James made notes of a couple points on his copy of
the budget spreadsheet.

Various people left towards the second half of the meeting, and the
meeting was, for all intents and purposes, adjourned sometime shortly
after 6:00pm or so.
