Hey Club!
First of all, thanks to everyone for a Bang-Up meeting this past Saturday! 63 people is nothing to scoff at, and I hope each and every one of you had a good time! As I mentioned Saturday (I did mention this, didn’t I?), Club relies on member input to function, so if you have any ideas for future events (like our Otaku Bingo) or suggestions for Anime to show, let us know! If you don’t know how you can help, but would like to anyway, let us know also – we’d love for you to get involved!
That in mind, I’d like to introduce a recurring event for us to get to know each other better – The “Cool Kid’s” Cafeteria Table! Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12pm-1pm, we’ll be having chow down in the SUB Lobo Lair, right outside our office (1031). Short notice, but I’ll be there today with my sack lunch… and I’ve got the offer of Granola Bar for Snack Pack out there for the record. :p So yeah… bring your brownbag, your Chick Fil-a, or whatever you want and hang out with us!
Lastly, a bit of record keeping. There are a couple of new pages on the site: How to Join, and Newsletters. How to Join documents exactly that, so hit the link if you’d like more information on becoming an Anime Club card carrier, as well as some of the benefits! As for Newsletters – I guess they’re both self-explanatory. :p In any case, we’re here for any further questions or suggestions you might have!
Justin out.
Welcome to the UNM Anime Club’s mailing list/home page! And for those of you already subscribed, welcome back! We’ve got lots of fun in store for this upcoming year, and we’re glad to have so many interested people!
We’ll be sending out weekly emails pertaining to Club and Club Activities, so watch your inbox! In addition, we have a facebook, a twitter (still tweetless T.T), and a forum. So if you’re all about Anime Club networking, jump online and friend/follow/join us!
Our first meeting is THIS SATURDAY from 4-9pm in Lobo A/B; 3rd floor of the Student Union Bldg. We’ll be showing Fruits Basket, Baccano!, and AMV Hell 3 to round things out. In addition! We’ll have video games, door prizes, and free Saggio’s pizza… it’s gonna be fantastic, and you don’t wanna miss it!
Excited? Hit the link below for our schedule break-down. We’ll see you all this Saturday!

We’re at the duck pond all this week from 8am to 2pm! Come find us!
Change of plans! Due to the restrictions created by SAC’s themed days, we’ll only be set up by the Duck Pond on THURSDAY. We’ll see you all then!
Hey gang!
The new semester’s here, and Anime Club’s ringing it in as part of FNL – TONIGHT in the SUB from 8pm – 11pm. We’ll be there to welcome back old anime clubbers and to welcome in the prospective new members. We’ll also have candies and cookies (if you bug me) to entice, along with a heaping helping of information about the new, improved Anime Club of Fall ‘09 for whomever wants it.
And if our glorious presence isn’t enough to sell you on FNL, listen to what the SAC has to pitch!
Stop by the SUB for the 4th annual Friday Night Live! The entire building will be full of great events. This year New Mexico’s own Vanilla Pop will be performing all the best dance hits in their own “groovy” style live in the Atrium. Check out their website at www.vanillapop.com. There will also be a Photo Booth, Casino Games, Henna Tattoos, Karaoke, Salsa Dance Lessons, Video Games on Projection Screens (Including a Wii, Guitar Hero and DDR), Lobo Sports Teams, a Dance, and Free Food including Pizza, Desserts, Finger Foods, Candy Popcorn, Pepsi Products & More!
We hope to see everyone there!

Or is it 1-3? Ah well. What’s important is…
The forums now work! Go and make a topic to commemorate this awesome outcome! In fact, if you post an intro topic and call my attention to it during Friday Night Live or Welcome Back Week (with the keyphrase: “Justin – Did you finish your summer homework yet?”), you will get a cookie. Yes, an actual, edible, chocolate-chip cookie. From me to you. 
Oh, and I’ve updated the Schedule page. Lemme know your thoughts!
…Is how far you’d have to go – by car and kayak – to get to Okinawa, Japan. OR you could show up at the SUB atrium between 12:00pm and 1:00pm this upcoming Tuesday and bear witness to a slice of Japanese culture, performed for your benefit and without any admission fee. You’d have to be crazy not to attend! Here’s the spiel, straight from our pals @ Japanese Club:
So, a group from Okinawa is going to be here on the 18th of August, and they have asked the Japanese Club to be/help get an audience for them. You don’t have to show, but it sure would be nice. And it’d be even better if you could bring friends or tell people about it. These guys are going to be performing the three-stringed instrument, and giving a shodo demonstration as well as some other demonstrations. Though it supposed to end at 1, it may go on longer. [...] Let’s make sure these guys’ long hours of practice was worthwhile.
Yes. Let’s.

Say hello to the new Anime Club Forums!
The InvisionFree forums have long been acquiring an air of stagnancy, so this Fall, we’ll be rolling out a new message board system = one that’s fully intergrated with our WordPress installation, so you won’t have to juggle two different accounts in order to comment on the blog and post on the forums. The old forums are still there if you ever get those pangs of nostalgia for the light blue InvisionFree layout, but I encourage everyone to miagrate to the new boards using your existing blog account – it’d be nice if we could drum up a revitalized interest in online member interaction!
There may yet be some kinks to work out, but at least the site is functioning! G’wan, make an introduction topic. You know you want to. 
Oh, and I updated the Officer’s Page with pictures. Busy, busy.
I’m installing a fresh version of WordPress and bringing us up to date with all the plugin gears that make anime dot unm dot edu what it is. I’ve never done this before, so bear with me if things go weird for a little bit. When we’re back, you should see a familiar look. And some new forums. Stay posted!

A resounding “Thanks!” to everyone who gave their time yesterday as a volunteer extra! Due to your efforts, we were able to amass over $500 for our Self-Gen account… and you can bet that we’ll be pouring it all back into club for this Fall and beyond! And remember, if you have any thing you’d like to see for Club, let us know! and we can try and make it happen.
Anyways, now that the work is done, all that’s left is the After Party! After tomorrow’s club meeting, which I imagine will be par for the course for summer meetings (2-6pm; Cherry/Silver), we’ll be having the Thank-You dinner across the street at Saggios! The food will be courtesy of Anime Club; the least we could do after you guys slaved all day on our account! And for those club members who didn’t or couldn’t make it to the shoot, you’re welcome to come along and hang out – but the tab will be your own.
Mock-Schedule for Friday’s Mock-Meeting is after the link. Cheeeeeeeck it out!:

UNM Anime Club’s holding a special kind of fundraiser… one that’ll allow you your very own slice of silver screen fame. Next Tuesday and Wednesday, they’ll be shooting a “Comic Con” scene for the movie Paul here in Albuquerque, at the Convention Center, and they’ve asked Anime Club if we wouldn’t mind loaning them some extras.
So here’s where you guys come in. The movie will be shooting for around 12 hours each day, starting EARLY. I’m ballparking that we should get there around 5am, but the exact time has yet to be decided. If you’ve got some time, and the desire to be in the movie while at the same time, helping Anime Club, let us know ASAP. As in, if we don’t have your intent to participate, your name, and your phone number by 12:00noon this Friday (08/07/09), you’ll have missed the boat.
Anime Club will be throwing a Thank You party after the shooting is over to show our appriciation for you guys, so let us know if you wanna help! And do it fast…! All the gritty details follow the link, so hit it if you’d like to know more before joining up, or if you’d like to know exactly how things are gonna go down. Thanks to everyone in advance!
