Added some new photos from FNL and this semester’s first meeting after the post-break! If you ever take any of your own photos at the meeting, and wouldn’t mind seeing them on the website, please send them to me at anime@unm.edu! And a reminder, we’re be doing Club Lunch on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in the Lobo Lair outside our office. Time’s 12-1pm… Hopefully we’ll see you there!

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.

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!

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.

In the meantime, I’ve got a small update. The banner’s been changed to give the site a nice, Fall ‘09 feel, and the Officer’s section has been updated to include a questionnaire. So if you want all the jucy details, head on over to the Officers Page… photographic evidence upcoming. Heh.

Let me know in the comments what you think about these changes as they progress, and what you think we should prioritize as a club. Remember… we do it all for you guys!

As of today, I can confirm that the club has an office. And what a perilous quest it was to find the office.

Having walked a good way, our dear secretary found himself in want of refreshment and stopped by the art building acquire said drink. Upon entering the building he spied a large piece of art shaped a bit like those Japanese Torii, out in the enclosed courtyard.

Upon inspection he discovered it was an inter-dimensional gate. Not daring to go through it, he tried to get back into the art building only to discover that the door to the enclosed courtyard was locked on the courtyard side.

Being quite stuck, our dear secretary decided the quickest way to escape was to jump the wall on the other side of the courtyard. Scaling the fence was no problem for our nimble hero, but once on top of the wall, he found that the other side was an equally enclosed service area some fifty feet below.

Fearing for his life, he returned to the courtyard to wait for some kind soul to pass in the art building atrium, see him, and help him in his plight.

Now wishing he had gotten his drink before checking out the inter-dimensional Torii art piece, our hero waited and waited and finally escaped by the help of an art student that was not the hot female with the dyed hair that had been in the heat-delusioned fevered thoughts occupying our protagonist’s brain but rather a surely male of irrelevant stature and size who only grunted when told of the plight of the secretary.

Now, free of imprisonment, our hero left straightway to the SUB administration to get the epic papers he needed to free the office from… well, actually that was done last week.

Fact to share: Almost all insects only stand on three legs at one time. This gives them a prefect tripod balance.
