Jun 5  What? Show 1 is evolving!

What could it be evolving into, I wonder? If you immediately started humming the Pokémon evolution theme, then congratulations, you pass the test. We have a particularly exciting week ahead of us as we crash headlong into show 2. I’m personally more excited about E3, but hey, I can be excited about two things, can’t I?

What do you mean I don’t have time? Nintendo’s presentation is on Tuesday! It fits! See the proof below:

• Monday Meeting – Monday, June 6, 6:00PM, Room MC 4063. If I can contain my excitement, that is. Come on down to our general meeting, and we’ll chat about the upcoming show 2. There’s a few other things on the agenda as well, but I won’t tell you here. I need some sort of draw, right? Come to the meeting and find out!
• Project Night – Wednesday, June 8, 6:00PM, Room SLC 2109. A staple of midweek, project night is here to fill the void between weekends with much gaming and/or project building. If you want to hang out, meet some folks, and just talk about whatever, you’ll be at home at project night.
• Show 2 – Friday, June 10, 4:30PM to 10:00PM & Saturday, June 11, 2:30PM to 9:00PM, Room MC 2065. This is the moment you’ve all been waiting for. If you consider yourself a fan of anime (and you should, if you’re here) then you owe it to yourself to check out show 2. The schedule is available here. There will also be activities on the dinner breaks of both days. Shows are always are most popular events, so make sure you don’t miss it! There will also be a draw for a nice prize on Saturday, based on the survey handed out at Show 1. And there may be pie.
• Weiss Schwarz Tournament – Saturday, June 11, 11:00AM, Room MC 2017. Will says it better than I can in this thread, but if anime-based card games are of interest to you, check out our tournament, taking place the morning before day 2 of show 2. It’s still (at time of posting) open to new entrants, so get over there and post in that thread if you want to play. If you prefer a different sort of anime-based card game, there is also a Chaos tournament on the Saturday of Show 3, June 25, same time and place. Details and sign-up for that can be found over here.

There will also be a hot pot! What? Hot pot in the summer? We wouldn’t joke about something like that. If you’re interested in attending the hot pot, head on over to this thread to sign up. It’s taking place the weekend following show 2, on Saturday, June 18. The cost is $7 per person, to cover the cost of food.

Now that I have show 2 on my Pokédex, I can just shove it in my PC and forget about it. What? Of course not! I’m using it in my party!

I’ll show you next week. Until then, happy training!
