Hey Club!
We’re finally at the weekend, and as usual, we’ve got the goods this Saturday. Moeso than usual, actually, since this Saturday is Halloween. And Halloween means it’s time for our annual Halloween party co-hosted by Japanese Club!
We’ll have pizza and refreshments provided, but it’s also a POTLUCK! So bring those halloween treats to share! And if the food isn’t enticing enough, feast your eyes on all that’s in store. It’s quite worth your while!
- Our Annual Cosplay Contest! Show off your stuff – whether it’s a cosplay or a halloween costume – for a chance to win eternal glory and some fabulous prizes!
- Non-Stop Karaoke! That’s right – for the first time ever, we’ll have a dedicated karaoke room, set up by our local KJ, Laura! Japanese songs, mainstream hits, and Disney – it’s all there! So come belt some tunes!
- Pumpkin Carving! Held in the Karaoke room, we’ll have pumpkins and tools to do your Jack-O-Bidding! No prizes here, but extraordinary efforts will make it to the website.
- J-Horror! It wouldn’t be Halloween without some scary film fare, and we’ve got it at the ready!
- Scary Video Games! Resident Evil! More Resident Evil! Seriously, though, bring ‘em if you got ‘em.
So come check it out – it’s all free! We’ll be in Lobo A/B, Fiesta A/B, and Acoma A/B… See you there!

Hey Club! Hope you all had an excellent Fall Break! Here’s how we’re ringing in the 2nd 8 weeks!
1. Anime Los Angeles Convention Trip Sign-Ups! Saturday, we’ll be doing a presentation to inform everyone of how we swing this convention thing. There’s no rush to commit, but we’d like it if everyone who has a glimmer of interest in going to ALA with us could make themselves known! The website has more details.
2. Membership Cards! You asked for them; We got them (Even if it did take the better part of the semester)! For everyone that paid to be a member – you’ll now be able to flaunt your Anime Club status wherever you go – earning discounts at the SUB Sonic on Saturdays and at Lobo Anime & Comics on Tuesdays. Oh, and you’ll be able to check out Anime and Manga from our library also. :3
3. The T-Shirt Contest! …is postponed until November. We haven’t had enough entries to make a contest outta this, so it’s on hold until after Halloween. So C’mon, guys! Put those artistic muscles to work and create some awesome T-Shirts!
4. Maid Café Bake Sale! What’s this? The Anime Club Maid Café committee is putting on a bake sale next week on Wednesday and Thursday from 11am – 2pm in Zimmerman Plaza. Stop by, buy some noms, and fund next semester’s Maid Café! What’s the Maid Café? Don’t be shy and stop by the booth to ask; Otherwise you’ll have to wait until Feburary!
‘Course, we got more in store than just that. Follow the link for Saturday’s schedule for starters!

The weekend already? AND it’s Brawl day? Damn, time moves fast.
It’s Brawl day tomorrow (Starting at 1:00pm in the SUB Ballroom), but we’re still gonna have your regularly-scheduled Anime Club programming! Be sure to come by and watch some anime with us in Lobo A/B is you get tired of the tournament scene. If the tournament scene’s your thing, however, we want you! Anime Club will be needing volunteers to judge matches, as well as stations to play matches. So if you’ve got a Wii/Brawl/TV setup you can bring, or just lots of time to spare, be there at 12:00 and make yourself known!
We’re beginning a T-Shirt design contest that’ll extend through Fall Break (They’ll be no meeting next weekend, btw) so that you artists will have time to work! ^^ The winner will be voted on and announced October 24th! What motivation do you have to participate? For one, you get to practice your artistry; for two, you get to show off your work; and for three – if your drawing wins – you’ll get THREE (count ‘em) free shirts with your beautiful design to keep, sell, or give to your friends and family. WOW!
Interested? Here’s the details!
- 1 or 2-sided design (for front and/or back of T-Shirt)
- Anime Club related (i.e. design incorporates our name)
- Maximum 2 colors, excluding background color (to save on printing costs)
Other than that, it’s all you! Please submit completed designs to anime@unm.edu or to the Anime Club office during our normal office hours. Ganbatte!
And, without further adieu, this weekend’s schedule (after the link):

Club! Sorry for the late-ish update. I’ll try to keep this short in order to get it in your inboxes asap.
Saturday’s NOSTALGIA DAY! So bring your Pogs, your Pokemon Cards, and something for show-and-tell – we’re kids again (in spirit)!
In keeping with the theme, I’ll be bringing crayons and anime lineart for us to color. We’ll be doing show-and-tell (bring your latest and greatest!), and playing old-school video games in the game room, so bring your 8 and 16-bit consoles to share!
Also! We’re planning our first convention trip of the new school year: Anime Los Angeles! Be there this Saturday and express your interest if you wanna road trip with us over the winter break. Next Friday’s Fall Frenzy also, so we’ll also have info on that. All in all, you DON’T wanna miss this weekend’s meeting!
Schedule follows the link. We’ll see you Saturday!
