Hey Anime Club! Sorry for the lack of an email update last week – let this one serve as a remedy. (If you’re still not getting an email, or getting multiples, let us know! and we’ll work our listserv magic!)
Thanks to everyone who attended and dressed up for Cosplay day! We don’t have any photos of the costumes to show you – but I guess that just means it was a “you had to be there”-type of experience, huh? I missed it too, so I share your pain. Anyways, a big thanks to resident cosplay officer, Kim, for setting everything up and running club in my absence!
Last Saturday aside, this upcoming weekend is gonna be Big! How Big? Movie Screenings, Conventions, Anime Club, Fall Festivals, and whatever else you can manage to shoehorn in (like Magic prereleases)! Yeah. That kind of Big.
Thursday, Sept. 24 @ 7:30pm is the one-time only theater screening of the EUREKA 7 MOVIE! The film will be shown at 3 different locations in Albuquerque – Century 14, Four Hills, and Cottonwood 16. There’s a facebook event for your perusal; and a link to buy tickets. It’s anime on the big screen – bigger than the projector screen even! How can you resist?
Friday, Sept. 25 – Sunday Sept. 27 is OTAKU MEX, the return of Albuquerque’s first Anime Convention! Check out the site! Marvel at the facebook event! You can still pre-register for 2 and 3 day passes, so far as I can tell, so check it out! I’ll be there at the convention on Friday night, spreading the good word of Anime Club, so give a holler if you see me ’round!
Saturday, Sept. 26 @ 4:00pm is ANIME CLUB – CRAFTING ED.! You never want to miss this – We’re gonna be doing awesome-type DIYs, which only the lamest of people would want to miss. Japanese calligraphy, origami, drawing, doodling, comic edits, and more?! We’re trying to organize some sort of contest too, so definitely be there if you think you’ve got the chops! Naturally, we’ll have the latest in Fruits Basket and Samurai Champloo, so you can get your anime fix fo’ sho’.
Sunday, Sept. 27 from 10:00am – 6:00pm is AKI MATSURI – JAPANESE FALL FESTIVAL. Held at the National Hispanic Cultural Center (Google Maps), this festival highlights Albuquerque’s distinctive Japanese community with food, performances, informational tables, sales booths, martial arts demonstrations, professional shodo, and sooo much more, all for the meager price of $3.00? I’m already there. Hit our facebook event if you wanna carpool!
Aaand that’s what’s in store for this weekend. Hit the comments, or the many facebook links, and tell us about what you’ll be doing – we’re curious to know! If you still desire more information, then hit the break for Saturday’s anime schedule! Wacky.
