Feb 24  These Events are What All True CTRL-A Members Strive For

UPDATE: Monday meeting is today (Monday, duh) at 6PM in MC 4063. Full news update to come later.

I hope everyone had a great reading week, and is ready to have some more fun. Because we’ve got more fun than you can shake a stick at. This news post is a bit early because I wanted to tell you about something special this weekend, but will mostly be about next week and the following weekend, and the Monday after that. I hope that’s not too confusing. It’ll make more sense when you see the super-long, super-awesome list of events below. But before that:

• CON-G! Con-G is a really cool anime convention happening in Guelph this weekend (that’s Sat. Feb. 25 and Sun. Feb. 26). Many of CTRL-A’s members will be there, hosting the third edition of the Pokemon Gym Leader Squad! Come out and battle us to win badges and the chance to win bigger prizes! There’s also lots of other great stuff to do, so if you’re looking for a fun time this weekend, look no further. For details, check out their website here.

And right when you’re exhausted from a weekend of conventioning (which is totally a word), CTRL-A is there to pick up the slack. Check it out:

• Monday Meeting: Monday, February 27, 6PM, AL 210. Well, we have to start somewhere. Come to our Monday meeting, where there will likely be planning and discussion of the following events. Please note the alternate room for this meeting.
• Project Night: Wednesday, February 29, 6PM, SLC 2133. Celebrate Leap Day with style! Project night strikes again this Wednesday, so come spend your extra day with CTRL-A!
• “The Secret World of Arrietty” Movie Showing: Thursday, March 1, 6:55PM, Empire Theatres Waterloo. Several of our members will be going to see the new Ghibli film, “The Secret World of Arrietty” in theatres this Thursday. If you want to be on the forefront of all the Ghibliness, be sure to check it out. This Thursday is the last day that the film will be showing here, so don’t miss it!
• Show 3: Friday, March 2, 4:30PM to 10PM, AL 113 and Saturday, March 3, 2:30PM to 9PM, AL 116. Anime is what we do, and we do it well. Come watch a slew of great anime series with us. I heard there will be free pie for members. As usual, we’ll sell pizza and other concessions and have a fun activity during the dinner breaks. Check out the schedule here.
• Weiss Schwarz Tournament: Saturday, March 3, 11AM, AL 211. Of course, with all great anime shows comes the ever-popular Weiss Schwarz tournament. If you aren’t familiar, it may not be too late. Check out our forums for one of the most active English WS communities on the Internet (no, really) and if you would like to join the tournament, post in this thread to let Will know. Join the craze!
• Sushi: Sunday, March 4, 1PM, O’Yummy Sushi. For those who are unfamiliar, the location where we’ll be eating is 646 Erb Street W. Some of our membership will be going out for an awesome sushi meal. If this sounds like something that interests you, definitely come check it out. They always prove to be delicious, and great social experiences.
• Cosplay Cafe: Monday, March 5, 12:30PM to 5:30PM, SLC Multipurpose Room. Several of our members will be dressing up in costume, and serving a delicious meal featuring Japanese food and drink for a great price. If you’re in the mood for some great food and fun atmosphere, come check us out.

You probably think we’re crazy for having so many great events in such a short period of time. While that may be true, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a good time. Sit back, relax and enjoy the statistical anomaly that is CTRL-A.
