Hey Club Goers! Guess what?
Field Trip!!! Similar to our FANIME trip this past summer, UNM Anime Club will be attending ALA – an anime convention going down during Winter Break. Where is it held? When is it happening? How can I sign up? The answers to there questions and more after the break! Get excited:
Here we go! Again!
REMEMBER: BRING YOUR OWN CONTROLLER!
And without further ado, the rundown:
Set-Up at 12:00 noon If you have a station you can volunteer (TV, Wii, and Brawl), or if you want to get some friendlies matches in for practice, that’s the time to show up!
Registration at 1:00pm We’ll be registering for both Teams and Singles starting at this time. We’ll be cutting off team sign-ups at 1:45 so that we have time to draw up the bracket, but Singles registration will be ongoing until the team matches have finished.
TEAM Matches at 2:00pm gl hf
SINGLE Matches take place AFTER TEAMS Depending on the number of entrants, this could be earlier or later. A good rule of thumb is to show up a little early – around 3, 3:30-ish – if you want to play in Singles but not in Teams.
The nitty-gritty rules are after the link. Yummy!
UPDATE: The rules have been changed to reflect the following last minute revisions:
Thanks everyone for a bang-up Field Day! We had an enjoyable ordeal organizing it, and we hope you guys had a fun time in the sun time! There’s still plenty of leftover food, and we’re in the midst of figuring out what to do with it all. So keep an eye on this space to know the latest!
Also, it’s come to my attention that some of you might not be getting the weekly emails? If that’s so, PLEASE email anime@unm.edu to be checked and added to the mailing list. You wouldn’t wanna miss out on crucial information, such as this past Saturday’s foray into the wild.
Speaking of, photos follow the break. If you want them with my super special awesome comments, hit this link for the facebook album!
Facebook group here. We’ll be field tripping 9 just because, so come with us and have a grand ‘ol time! Showing’s this Wednesday (tomorrow) at the Century 14 Downtown. Time will be 7:00pm. If you want to guarantee yourself tickets, we’ll be buying some tomorrow in advance… stop by the Anime Club office with $10 to get in on this! Oootherwise, we’ll see you there!
P.S. If you need a ride, drop your phone number. If you can offer a ride, say so!
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.
…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.
Well, guys and gals… this here be your first summer update. They will be a lot fewer than those in the regular semester, and perhaps even halt entirely for the month of July, when I’m abroad, but THEY WILL EXIST! Look! You are reading the proof right now! Wowzers!
I had a blast at Fanime! And I’d like to thank each and every one of you that went–it would not have nearly as fun without chance to run into you guys and do impromptu stuff in the hallways! This post will showcase my favorite memories of Fanime, but let us know your own in the comments! There’s also room for criticism if you agree that the trip could be improved on! If you went with us, check your email and send us the survey so’s that we can better ourselves for next time (aka ala)!
This coming Saturday is our extended club meeting, which we’ll kick off at Lower Johnson Field at 1:00pm. We’ve already got a few people volunteering to bring stuff, but we’ll need more grub if we want to feed a hungry club, hence, potluck!
Our main course will be teriyaki beef and chicken, which’ll be served up by Tommy (and partially funded by Club). I’ll be bringing some Ramune; Moxie’s offered chips; David, some Japanese food; and Devon has promised plastic cutlery… but we could really use some more food and drink–please comment if you can/will bring something, so’s that we don’t end up with too much of one item. Some things we could probably use are:
As far as activities go, I’ll be bringing frisbees, baseball mitts, and kickball (maybe some silly string too 
). Everyone else is welcome to come with stuff too, and we’ll make due with whatever we end up with. And remember, we’ll be moving back into the SUB for regularly-scheduled club at 4:00pm, so keep excited! ‘Til then!!!
The showing’s tonight at the Century 14 Downtown across from the Bus Station! Check the trailer, and then check out the whole film at 7:30pm (tickets are available online for $12.50). My Impromptu Japanese Final may keep me from attending, but that remains to be seen, so lemme know in the comments if you’re going!
Fanime ho~!!!
Those new to Anime Club may not be aware of our annual convention trip, so allow me to inform: For the past three years, UNM Anime Club has orchestrated a trip for its members to a nearby (hah!) Anime convention. For the past three years, we’ve gone to Project A-Kon in Dallas, TX.
Well… this year, we’re breaking tradition and heading west; West towards FANIME Con. For those Con veterans worried about trip logistics, relax. The trip is comparable in length, and similar in cost. And for those Con newbies confused and intrigued at the prospect of an anime convention… get ready to have your questions answered!
