Field Day Aftershock

SONY DSC

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!

Busy Days are the Best Days

This Saturday’s Schedule is Important and Varied Enough to make the Main Post Body. Here goes!!!

d4b13a26d78cd7c90cbcc321bc61f9de1:00pm Treasure Hunt! Meet at the Duck Pond, and bring your Dora Explorer beads – we’re looking for treasure! Here’s how it works: We’ll split you into teams, give you clues and a map, and send you on your way ’round the Duck Pond and Zimmerman Plaza. The first team to find all the treasure wins eternal glory (And maybe a little something else)! If you haven’t yet signed up – please leave a comment so we know how much to hide!

2:00pm BBQ/Potluck. We will migrate to Lower Johnson Roosevelt Park to grill dogs and burgers. Will there be chips? Drink? Potato salad? That’s for you guys to decide – bring foodstuffs to help feed your fellow club members! We’ll be able to station stuff at the Duck Pond prior, so don’t let your potluck chow weigh down your bid for treasure @ 1! Remember, it’s POTLUCK, so make mention of what you plan to bring in the comments so that we don’t end up with 1000s and 1000s of plastic sporks.

?:??pm Club-As-Per-Usual. Once we’ve had our fill of food and the outdoors, we’ll head back into the SUB and watch some anime. Fruits Basket, and more in store! Also, if you missed out on membership last week, this’ll be your chance!

7:00pm Rakugo. We’ll be breaking club up early so that those of us interested can go see some Japanese comedy. A fitting end to our wacky-long day. Hit the break for a more detailed description of the Rakugo event.

Again! PLEASE leave a comment if you can help with grub, or if you wanna sign up for the treasure hunt! Weekend, ahoy!

Update: We lagged a bit in securing Lower Johnson, so after the Treasure Hunt, we will make way for Roosevelt Park for the Potluck! Don’t worry, we promise that it’ll be just as much fun!

Nine: Better than [Endless] Eight?

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!

I’ll Take ‘Membership’ for $5, Alex

Are ya winnan'?

Hey Club!

It’s Labor Day weekend, but fret not! Anime Club will be on as per usual. We’ll be watching anime, playing games, and doing Anime Jeopardy! We’ll get the anime out of the way first, then break for games. Anything goes, so bring your cards, your board games, your handhelds, and your consoles!

But first, the winner for Member’s Choice this semester is Samurai Champloo, so look for it on the schedule once we hear back on the topic of permissions (i.e. not quite yet)! We may have to play “catch up” with an extra episode here or there, but trust me, it’s worth the wait!

Oh! And we’ll be doing membership dues and sign-ups for next week’s scavenger hunt (spoiler)! So be there if you want to get your name on either list… be there! Information on joining can be found here.

The schedule follows the break. We’ll see you this weekend!

Welcome Back, Welcome Pics

Our WBW booth - Thursday

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!

Lunch in the Basement (Due to Lack of Rooftop Keys)

nomnomnom uvaa~!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.

Saggiosday!

CC? Pizza, pizza!

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!

Welcome (back) Week 1.0!

horo-fliersm
We’re at the duck pond all this week from 8am to 2pm! Come find us!

Change of plans! Due to the restrictions created by SAC’s themed days, we’ll only be set up by the Duck Pond on THURSDAY. We’ll see you all then!

Friday Night Liiiiive!

Blast off for Fall '09!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!

Site Updates: Stage 2-1

Or is it 1-3? Ah well. What’s important is…

This is my 'I got Wordpress to work!' face.

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!
