Safety - Times

Not like anyone else is concerned with it, but I am cause I live in the PNW and know how dark/cold it gets and am (way more) paranoid about walking from the CAB back to the dorms...

So is there anyone else perhaps willing to go around for the anime club at it's times? I mean it's already getting dark at 4:30, and by 5pm it's pretty dark. Aside from being sick, the darkness and having no one to go with me, is my main reason for not going to any meetings yet.

Meeting Date Scheduled!

Hey, guys!  I know there's been yammerings about another anime club on campus and all that jazz, and I have official news for you:

The person who was going to start up a separate anime club is actually going to come and merge with us at GRAS to form a totally new, independent anime club called the Evergreen Anime Club.  I'm going to be training him in this year and teaching him how we run our showings and ChibiChibi and all that jazz.  So yes, in effect, the EAC is GRAS.  He's not trying to do anything to spite us or anything like that, he just wasn't sure whether there was going to be a club or not, which is entirely my fault and not his.  I contacted him, and we've worked things out really well.

Please come to the first meeting if you can and bring with you a whole bunch of enthusiasm and support.  If we get enough interest, we probably won't have to merge at all with the Gaming Guild, making things a lot easier when it comes to be convention time.

The meeting is Wednesday, October 8th at 6pm in the TV Lounge.  We'll be talking business for a while, but we're also hopefully going to get to some anime before we're through. 

Let me know if you have any questions.  Should be a really fun year!

Another Anime Club?

Out of curiousity, I was wondering... Are there two anime clubs on campus?

One of the windows of J Dorm has a sign saying "Anime Club" (email: EvergreenAnimeClub@gmail.com). It says they'll be meeting Wed Oct 8 at the CAB building on the 3rd Floor in the TV lounge x.x Spaced on the time, sorry...

But this made me wonder if perhaps this is the "time" for the anime club, or if someone is making a SECOND anime club??

._. And I figured, someone should email them and see about it...

EDIT Got the time. From 6-9pm.

news that is not just yelling!

Hey, guys.  Thanks for your patience up till this point.  I know it's hard when something you love is having issues and you can't do much about it.

GRAS is going to be fine.  The reason that I've been so vague up until this point is because I had something I was working on with the Gaming Guild (RPG, tabletop and board game enthusiasts) and I didn't want to mention it until I was sure what I wanted was possible.

I will have the date for our first meeting by tomorrow, as soon as I work it out with the Gaming Guild coordinator.  Meanwhile, I need one very important thing before we can continue - two more registered Evergreen students to coordinate with Shen and myself.

This will not necessarily be a permanent position - in fact, it most likely won't extend beyond fall quarter, unless you want it to.  I don't have a limit on coordinators, so you are welcome to stick around with us.  But I do need two people at least for fall by the end of this week.

If you're at all interested, please email me at gras.tesc@gmail.com.

As soon as we are a registered student group, we are going to be merging with the Gaming Guild, which will make us a funded club with no problems in terms of meeting space, advertising, and so on.  I'll explain more later at the first meeting.

Thanks, guys!

Tom Will Always Be In My Top 8....

 Funny, cause being at work actually reminded me of this...

So, just about last week or so, Cartoon Network finalled ended its run of Toonami. Toonami has been on for years, and for us older anime fans the start of our obsession. Honestly, I stopped watching Toonami when they took off everything good, and had that Mi-Me-whatever guzi running. I still don't get what Code Lyoko was all about. Still, how did Toonami change your fandom? Were you like me and rushed home everyday to catch the latest episode of the horrible, horrible Sailor Moon dub? Did you watch Outlaw Star just for the endings (Well, no, the show was pretty hardcore too)? Did you actually wake up to WATCH the Rising Sun? Buy the OST to the AMV's with the original mixes (Broken Dreams was my favorite)?

I can't say I miss it being gone, rather than I miss what Toonami used to be. Why did they kill off Tom in the first place? Red ooze? Seriously now. Give him death by Gundam or something

Edit: Nothing to do with anything, but it sounds like the third Bleach movie is going to be a re-make of the Soul Society arc. Whatever it is, it'll be better than the first one. Second one was good, and this is coming from a non-Hitsugaya fangirl.

Post Number THREE Regarding Meeting Times:

I will post the time of the first meeting when I have it set up. I have to get approval from Student Activities as well as plan things out with one of our other clubs before I can set a time. I have mentioned this several times now.

Also, why is it that everyone is attempting to attend meetings this week when the Fall Quarter does not even start until Monday the 29th? We are a college club, and we meet during college quarters ONLY. Not only that, I am not allowed to advertise ANY kind of meeting or event without prior consent from Student Activities.

Please, please, PLEASE listen to me. I obviously will not schedule our meeting and not post the date and time here! Things have not been worked out in regards to our budget and things like that yet, and I cannot schedule anything until they are. I will try my best to schedule a meeting for next week, but if needs be, we will postpone it one week. We have all quarter to get things settled, guys.

Having the club be a successful working unit is more important than throwing some anime on the TV. Please understand this.

You will all know when our meeting time is as soon as we have one.

A few notes for clarification:

Since the last entry I posted, I've gotten a lot of people concerned about our showings and our budget. I will repeat this again: Our not having a budget does not mean that we will never have a budget or that we are going to lose the club. Many clubs at Evergreen are not funded and still function, incidentally. If there is significant interest in the club and keeping it going, I will apply for a budget as soon as the S&A Board reconvenes, most likely in October.

We do not pay for our meeting space.

The not having a budget is not the issue. The issue is involvement. The issue is interest. I appreciate that many of you are going to be overwhelmed with class and work, but I beg you to remember - so will I. So will Shen. The more people that get involved, the easier it will be to spread the time around, and the less everyone will have to do.

There will be big news at the first meeting. All I ask is that if you're still confused, you come to that first meeting. I'll post the time and place as soon as I have it. And if you can't make it, you can comment on that future entry, just so I know you're interested in the club, and I'll give you all details about what gets discussed as well.

Thanks, guys.
