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!

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!

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!

The amazing blog updater strikes again with some amazing info!

That is all.

Another officer meeting tomorrow (that’s Thursday) in the Anime Club office (SUB Lobo Lair 1031) from 4-5:30. And another general club meeting the day after tomorrow (that’s Friday) from 2-5:30. The location for the club meeting is still TBA, so check back Thursday night for the final say on that.
UPDATE: We’re meeting in Acoma A/B; 3rd floor of the SUB this Friday. Bring yer summer enthusiasm!
As I demonstrated last time, summer meetings will be loosely structured, but more-or-less free game… hangout-time. And hey, if anyone has any anime they’d like to suggest, lemme know in the comments! I don’t have anymore Kawaii Jenny (damn), but there’s more Basara, more K-On, and–if you guys want–some more Hetailia.
I’m also thinking of holding a Gurren Lagann marathon next week, with maybe a break for lunch. Who would go to that?
The schedule is a lie:

Can you really wait another 2.5 months for another Anime Club meeting? Well, we couldn’t, so we’ll be having our first Summer Club meeting this upcoming Friday! Due to the stifled summer hours of the SUB, our meeting will be held earlier in the day. So that’s Friday, June 12th from 2pm until 6pm in FIESTA A/B!
We’ll be watching Ouran High School Host Club in addition to whatever else you guys wanna see off of my Hard Drive! We won’t have much of a schedule (summer meetings aren’t that structured!), but we will have anime, board games, and some discussion! It’s sure to be fun, so take a break from your summer and see your Anime Club!
Also, we’ll have an officer’s meeting this Wednesday from 4:30pm until 6pm in our new office, located in the Lobo Lair, room 1031! Lotsa inside developments! And lotsa more stuff to discuss! You should be there (esp. if you’re considering running for an officer position come Fall)!
Pretend schedule after the break!

Our meeting today is from 4:00pm until 8:00pm in Acoma A/B and Isleta.
Before that is a SWACE Meet n’ Greet, held at the hotel where the convention will take place in Late July/Early August. It’s happening at 3:00pm at the Albuquerque Grand on Yale Blvd. There’ll be free food and con staffers–we’ll see you all there!
Schedule’s after the break:

Brawl Tournament this Saturday! Head a couple ‘a posts down on the site for full details. We’re modifying some of the rules in keeping with a fairer–yet still competitive–atmosphere. Final changes will be available on the rules sheets at the tourney, but the condensed version is as follows:
- Planking maneuvers (Dropping, then re-grabbing the stage edge) are capped at 5
- Grab-release and standing chain grabs are banned.
Be sure to bring your own controllers to minimize loans, and if you can help us with a set-up (Wii and TV, or just Wii), we’d be eternally grateful! Sign-ups are at 1:00 on the SUB Mall Level! We’ll see you all there!!!
In Anime news, The Gurren Lagann movie is now available subbed through the regular channels. Part 1 of–I guess–2. It’s just as awesome as the series was, and there’s some new footage and some merged/cut plots to help with the time condensation. Relive the the GAR!
As for Club, it’ll take place as per usual in the room adjactent to the tournament, Fiesta A/B. There wasn’t a poll this week, but we’ll be showing our regulars as well as some stuff that’s fared well in the past. Don’t miss it! (Schedule’s up next).

A giant slice of Pepperoni and a quart soft drink for 3.99? I'm there!
This weekend will mark the return of the Break Room to Fiesta (after we couldn’t have one last week due to our being in the Ballroom). For all those who spend a significant amount of time within it, I encourage you to bring your consoles and games to share with- and entertain others. We’ll be going for a more member-supported room with no limitations in re: to what you can bring–be it Video Games, Board Games, Card Trading Cards, Manga, Sketchbooks… anything!
(This also means that I’ll be dialing back my weekly contribution to the Break Room. I’ll still bring in my house’s consoles from time to time… just not every week as I have been.)
In other news, we’ll be having a second FANIME meeting this Saturday during Intermission. So if you going, and couldn’t make it to the first on Tuesday, make sure and and be at club at 6:00! I have packets of information and questions that I need to ask all the attendees.
That’s it for now! The schedule follows:
