Jan 11  Week 2, start!

The term continues to build momentum as we plunge head first into the second week. I already covered what is going on this week, but I’ll recap it since this news post is going to push it further down the page and you’ll all be too lazy to scroll that far down.

• Club’s Days – Thursday, January 13 and Friday, January 14, 10:00AM to 3:00PM, SLC Great Hall

• Meeting – Monday, January 17 at 6:00PM, MC 2035

For more information on what these are, scroll down to the last post. Now for a few exciting announcements.

There will be a screening of Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance at Conestoga Mall’s Galaxy Theatre on January 20th at 7:00PM. From the official press release:

EVANGELION 2.0: YOU CAN (NOT) ADVANCE is the second film of in four part film series, re-imagining the sci-fi animated series blockbuster Neon Genesis Evangelion (also written and directed by Hideaki Anno) which aired on Japanese television in the mid 1990’s.

If you want to go with some other club members, there is a forum thread about it here.

Next is a contest annoucement from the good folks at RightStuf.

This month, we’re giving away one copy of the The Third: The Girl with the Blue Eye DVD Collection Thinpak. In order to enter the random drawing, send animeclubs@rightstuf.com an email with “Stuf for Clubs Giveaway” as the subject line. In the body of the message, include your name, the name of your club/organization, and your preferred mailing address (no P.O. Boxes, please), along with your response to the below:

“If you could travel via any anime- or manga-based mode of transportation, what would you choose?”

Would you take a spin through space on the Bebop? Or would you prefer to float down the canals of Neo Venizia on a gondola with President Aria at your side? Get creative and have fun!

All entries must conform to the above and be received before February 13th, at 11:59 p.m. CST.

Thirdly, Anime North! If we all get tickets together, we pay the Group Admission rate, a full $15 less than the regular price, so if you’re going to Anime North, it would be prudent for you to check out this thread on the forum. Also, some of the club is planning a group cosplay as Pokémon gym leaders, and are always looking for more members. If you are interested, this is the forum thread to check out.

Finally, Robo and Will are planning Chaos and Weiβ Schwarz tournaments for the weekends of Show 3 and Show 4, respectively. For more information and to sign up, check out the Chaos and Weiβ Schwarz threads on the forum.

And that just about covers it. Until next week!
