Phew, wasn’t that something? Anime North has come and gone. It’s an awkward combination of  “this is awesome, don’t ever stop” and “no more, I’m exhausted” but for better or worse, we made it through.

If you’re one of the people who was referred to our site from our booth at Anime North or our Pokémon Gym Leader squad, you can check what we’re all about at our FAQ, or if you want to get in on the discussion and planning for the next Gym Leader squad, head on over to our discussion forum here.

Looking forward, we have a pretty standard week in CTRL-A ahead of us. Look forward to:

• Monday Meeting – Monday, May 30, 6:00PM, Room MC 4063. Back to our usual venue for this one. Not a whole lot on the agenda for this one, but we’ll probably talk about hot pot and the unending saga of the button maker. Possible dinner afterwards.
• Project Night – Wednesday, June 1, 6:00PM, Room SLC 2109. As is our wont, project night shall continue this Wednesday. If you’ve been craving some time to work on projects, or just want to hang out, drop on by.
• Games Night – Friday, June 3, 4:30PM, Room MC 4058. If you were like most people and at Anime North last Friday, then you are in dire need of some gaming! Let CTRL-A be your fix, and come play games with us this Friday. Even if you aren’t much of a gamer, there’s still plenty of opportunity for socializing, so come and spend some time with us. We don’t bite. Well, that one guy does, but don’t worry about him.
• Cosplay Tea Party – Saturday, June 4, 1:00PM, Amy’s Place. Probably best described as “hanging out at Amy’s Place.” Last time we had cake! If you want to hang out at Amy’s place and work on costumes, watch random TV shows, drink tea, or whatever, come on by. The address can be found in the FAQ, over here.

You can look forward to Show 2 next week, June 10 and 11, so definitely stay tuned! Also of note is the Weiss Schwarz tournament taking place on June 11 at 11:00AM. If you want to participate, there’s a forum thread for signing up. Make sure you let them know in advance. Don’t just show up unannounced and expect to play.

Also, Trigun: Badlands Rumble is coming to Galaxy Cinemas Waterloo on Wednesday, June 22 at 7PM. I put a thread on the forum which you can check out for more details, or you can check out their official website here, their Facebook page here and their Twitter page here.

That’s all for now. Until next week!
