The Clark Anime and Japanese Club is dedicated to bringing Japanese anime and culture to the northwest and to help people hosting related events.

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?

Saturday Night Anime gaming is back
Steve has contacted me saying that gaming will be back at Saturday Night Anime. There will be 1 or 2 tvs available and one system in the Hannah Hall Breeze Way. Remember that anyone can bring their own consoles and tvs. If you bring a console it is probably best to bring rca/composite cords for your system.

PS. On other news I might be able to get my tags soon so may be coming back to SNA.

A variety of things to mention before the next meeting...
There are some things that, as the title suggests, I would like to state at this time. Some of them could've gone into Club Business, but some of them definately don't, so I'm putting it here.

1 - The RGB connector

Okay, so I talked with one of the owners of Game Play in downtown Camas, and he didn't think that an RGB connector would've been the best thing. He recommended an extension cord for the Audio/Visual cord thing that attaches the consoles to TV's. The red/white/yellows should be available in 12', 15', and 20', he said. He had one similar that had 5 colors at 15', (or 12', I don't remember), and that it was $35. We'd probably also need to get some female-female pieces so that these things would actually connect. Derald & I agree that we should definately discuss this more with Mark first.

2 - The next meeting

I found out tonight at work that I am scheduled to be opening on Saturday and won't be leaving until 3:30. Thus, I will not be there and someone will have to take notes. Kelli, if you're gonna be there, it should be you.

3 - Ranma 1/2

I've finally watched every single episode now, and I gotta say, I really hated the fact that the last two episodes were the one's in which they introduced Nodoka, Ranma's mother. They should've made one more season that exploits the funny encounters "Ranko" has with her. (This would also make some of my favorite stories from the manga apart of the anime). Oh well, it's about 10 years too late for that, now. (On that note, if they followed this idea, the last two volumes of the manga would've made an awesome movie!)

4 - Tuesday

My one and only final, and, on account of closing tonight (and not that much dedication to studying) I think my final may not go so well. Oh well, I think I did good enough on my other projects & such that I could have a dismal final, and still pass the class, and that's what matters.

5 - Game Day

Cassie, since I'm not going to be there this Saturday, could you please bring my game back to me on Wednesday? I don't feel like calling you right this second, and I think I'm gonna too focused on cramming for the final this morning that I won't even really think about it.
