The Ballroom was quite the change of pace… Did you guys like it, or no? Lemme know in the comments!

For this weekend’s meeting, we’re giving you guys a couple ‘a new options. First is Y-Quart, which involves a psychic detective, a superheroine, a conjurer, and a regular guy. They fight crime. Second is White Album, which introduces us to the lesser-known problems of dating a rising Idol. I’ve not seen either of these, so feel free to educate me. :)

Officer Meetings

We call them that, but they’re really open to everyone at club. :)

The Anime Club holds weekly officer meetings every Thursday at 5:00pm in the Lobo Lair of the Student Union Building (outside of our office, Rm. 1049). If you’d like, please join us–you can come and contribute, or just watch the proceedings. And if you can’t attend, please don’t hesitate to contact us with any ideas or suggestions you may have for the upcoming year. And check back Friday–we’ll be posting the meeting minutes so that everyone can keep informed on the administrative side of Anime Club.

Anime Club is serious business, after all!

Oh dear.

Just a warning… things aren’t going as planned, as per usual. Since Anime Club seems to be the butt of some cosmic joke, we’re having issues with the screening again. Oh, world. *laugh track*
I’m just warning you now, as the super-scared VP, that the screening may be canceled. :( No amount of emoticons can express my sorrow. I’ll keep you posted!

Us: 0
Big Bad World: like, a million

UPDATE: Tonight’s screening is CANCELED. I apologise dearly to all of you who made plans to attend, and assure you that we will make every effort to make better accomidations in the future.
