6...............SHANGRI-L'AFFAIRES LASFS MEETING OF MARCH 25th, 1943: This get-together was held at the Freehafer apartment, and produced the following fans and fanettes: Gus Willmorth, 4e Ackerman, Morojo, Barbara Bovard, T. Bruce (himself) Yerke, Phil Bronson, Mrs. Charles, and of course, Yours Truly and Paul Freehafer. As was inevitable, the impressive Freehafer record collection was delved into, and countless discs were played as the evening progressed. Yerke and Bronson nearly came to sword points (forestalled by the fact that they had no swords) over the selections to be rendered--Yerke expressing a preference for Mahler, while Bronson unreasonably insisted on listening to such passé items as the Carmen Suite and Polovetsienne Dances. Later on these two miscreants childishly amused themselves by riding up and down in the building's automatic elevator. (This entire method of entertainment was later discovered to be a result of the fact that Bronson had once resided in the same apartment, oddly enough.) During the course of the evening, Yerke fell asleep on the floor despite the fact that a meeting was in progress. Later the two claimed that, being true slans, they could follow the course of the discussions even though asleep. --Randolph Tillywish MONDAY, MAY 2, 1943: Seven flans (fan-slans, a la Liebscher) assembled at the new LASFS clubroom. Mel Brown and Barbara Bovard worked industriously on the large window, removing the old "Beauty Shop" legend, and scrubbing the glass to an unprecedented state of cleanliness. Forry sorted out the jumbled club library, Morojo energentically straightened out the entire room, and Yerke and Bronson acted as supervisors. Freehafer volunteered to stencil this issue of Shangri-L'affaires while the remainder of the gang struggled with the LASFS mimeo preparatory to turning out several pages of Fantasite. The mimeo-gremlins proved to be exceedingly active and it was some time before the machine could be coaxed into functioning smoothly. The group adjourned for dinner in the evening, then returned to run off more stencils. At 10:30 the room was vacated, to remain noiseless until the following Thursday evening. --Wentworth. Mel Brown is entertaining thoughts of a new fan magazine these days. Ray Bradbury has a nifty little yarn in the new Weird Tales, "The Scythe". SHANGRI-L'AFFAIRES Bulletin of the LASFS 637 1/2 S.
