Some good news and some ba news...
First, the bad news! (And the reason I'm saying the good stuff now and not at the meeting).
I will not be here for the meeting!!! For some stupid reason, my boss was under the impression that the only reason I didn't work Saturdays was because of my wrestling announcer job. He "didn't know" about the anime club nor that it's one of the few Jewish traditions that I uphold. I told him that I'd be fine with it this week, (especially since it's an opening and not a closing, plus the reason is acceptable).
Now, the good news!
I don't remember if I've said this to anyone or not, but I joined the Anime Evolution forums, should any of us have any questions. I made my beginning post, and had a couple of their top people respond. One person said that they knew some of our previous members, and another said that... aw heck, I'll just post it!
"Make sure your club members contact our registration dept to get the 10% discount on your passes! Just drop an email to registration@animeevolution.com and Heather, our reg manager will be happy to work with you on it. Please note you need to have 10 people registering from your club to qualify."
Isn't that awesome?

Lovely Complex
Plays third
Genres: comedy, romance, slice of life
Themes: love, school life, sports
Plot Summary: Risa Koizumi, taller than the average girl, and Atsushi Ootani, shorter than the average guy - their constant bickering and comical love-hate relationship is well-known throughout the school. They act similarly and love the same music, and their friendship is full of laughing, shouting at each other, and of course, lots of jokes about one another's height. But when Risa notices her feelings for Ootani growing, she's worried. She doesn't know if he can ever see her as more than a friend. With her friends rooting for her, she struggles to make him see how she feels about him, and that a romantic relationship between a tall girl and a short guy can work. Oblivious Ootani doesn't make things easy for her, but she stubbornly perseveres in her own unconventional way, determined for her feelings to get through to him, and finally be returned. If only she could do it without driving herself and everyone else crazy in the process...

Plot Summary: Itoshiki Nozomu is the world's most negative person. To his way of thinking, there is no hope or meaning in this existence.
