Well, it's that time of the year again. The time that we must wave goodbye to one another. Some we will see again next year. Some we may not see for longer. But keep your chin up, young grasshoppa, for those who are gone from our sight are not gone from our hearts. Or, uhh, something like that.
We hope you all enjoyed Minna this year. For those coming back, we look forward to seeing you next year. For those graduating, we wish you luck. Don't forget, everyone, that you can still come on over to the forum to chat and keep in touch over the summer!

Whoops. Been a bit busy with school and such. Ah well, if you really need the week's schedule for each meeting, make sure you're on the mailing list as our secretary sends out the schedule in each weekly email, along with club reminders and such.
Anywho, reminders: T-shirts. If you wanna preorder a club shirt, which looks like this and a logo like this, please talk to Micheal at the next meeting.
Open House: We're gonna begin working on the open house booth this week, so please go to whatever house you were assigned at the last manga meeting. If you don't have an assignment and would like one, drop us a line on the forums or through email (calpoly email: aarichar) and we can let you know where we need help.
Last, sign up for Fanime rooms. We're still accepting people for club's rooms, so let us know if you'd like a space.

Club's Fanime rooms have been booked. If you'd like a spot in one of them let me know. For more information check the post in the Yahoo group or the club forum.
Sad, no more Moyashimon. Oh well, Cromartie is a great show too. Also, Cromartie is comprised of 24 shorter, half-length episodes. So, in order to fit it into the schedule better, we'll be showing two episodes each week. Enjoy!

Welcome back to classes and a daily schedule. Time to get to used to getting up before 3PM and not playing video games all day again. Also, back to weekly club meetings to keep ya going through the week!

Minna no Manga will be meeting at Team Rocket's Hideout (my, Jesse, and James' apartment) until we can secure a room. If you need directions, ask one of us and we'll direct you. Also, don't forget about the T-Shirt contest that will be ending in a few weeks. Make sure you get your shirt designs in to Erika soon! Finally, registration for Fanime is up, as is room registration. If you'd like to room with club, let us know so we can book a few rooms.

See ya on Saturday!

Hope y'all had a good Turkey break. Time to burn the midnight oil again for two weeks until finals are over, right?
Anyway, don't forget that the background image contest is due this week. T-shirt designs are due a few weeks into next quarter, so get to workin' on those. Get your orders and money in to Juli soon (NOW) for Tsurugi's. Juli has to have the order by Friday and the money before club on Saturday. Tsurugi's is on Sunday.
Also, join us this week for our quarterly movie night. This quarter we're having a double feature of "5 Centimeters Per Second" and "Tokyo Godfather." So join us for those, and a shortened version of our lineup.
Last, have a great Winter Break. We look forward to seeing you back here in January.

Late update. Been busy with school work and... uh... Rock Band Endless Setlists... Anyway, don't forget about the background image contest or the T-shirt contest that are going on. Also, the quarterly Tsurugi's night is in two weeks, so sign up for that. Besides that, have a great Thanksgiving break!

As was announced last week, there's a contest for the background image of the website. As awesome as the current one is, I feel that it's time for a change. The rules are that the image cannot include any licensed characters, one entry per person, and that the image should reflect club in some way. Otherwise, almost anything goes. It can be a photograph or a drawing or whatever. Just make sure that it reflects Minna, as that'll be one of the main ways the officers will choose a picture. Submissions are due the last meeting of the quarter. The top two or three pictures will be entered into a random rotation on the website. Also, the overall winner will recieve two figures in addition. If you have any questions, direct them to me (unfortunately not this week, as I won't be in club) or post 'em on the forum.

P.S. Join the forum, plz! Or if you're already a member, come post some more! http://minnanoanime.invisionplus.net/

Halloween party is THIS WEEKEND! Be there or be square!

Starts at noon. Events and such will start pretty much right at noon, so try to be on time if you wanna be in everything. As a reminder, the events we've got going include: Anime Trivia, Anime Eyes, Art Contest, AMV Contest, Cosplay Contest, Pumpkin Carving Competition, Guilty Gear Tournament, and a new event this year: the Gong Show. You must be a member to win any prizes and there will be an overall prize for the person that does the best overall in the other contests. However, you MUST enter the cosplay to be considered for the overall prize. Anyway, hope to see y'all there.

Startin' to get back into the rhythm of things, eh? Sleep, class, homework, repeat... FOREVER!

Anyway, few club notes: Halloween party is at the end of the month (well, technically beginning of next month) so start getting ready for that. Things we've got running this year include Cosplay contest, Anime Trivia, Anime Eyes, AMV contest, Gong-show, Guilty Gear tournament, Pumpkin carving contest, etc... So don't forget to start getting those things together (your pumpkin ain't gonna carve itself).
Also, don't forget to join us for Minna no Manga nights!

Sorry 'bout the confusion and moving around and whatnot last night. Forces beyond our control (ASI) apparently don't like us much. I guess the problem was that they had our meetings starting a week later, instead of when they should have been starting. But that's all water under the bridge now. So we'll be back in the Silo (03-213) next weekend for our regularly scheduled meetings.

Minna no Manga starts this week. Meetings are 6-10 PM on Thursday nights, in 03-113. We got a nice room this quarter, yay! So yeah, come hang out with us!

Club starts next week! Are you excited? I'm excited! We've got an awesome lineup for you that we hope you all enjoy. Also, a few notes on the shows: (1) Moyashimon is a half season, once we've shown it, we're going to show Cromartie High School. Since Cromartie is comprised of 24 episodes that are 12 minutes, we decided to show two episodes a week and have it as a half season. (2) Paradise Kiss is a half season and will be paired with the first season of Rozen Maiden. (3) Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is, again, a half season and we'll be showing the first season of Black Lagoon to back it up. Also, Jojo is an OVA and the episodes range in length from 24 to 50 minutes. Some episodes may be split up to better fit into our time slot, others will simply push NHK back a bit.

For all new and returning members, we're planning a BBQ for tomorrow (Saturday the 21st). Starts around 5-6PM at 1317 E. Foothill Blvd. Apt. C (the apartment of three of our officers). We'll be eating burgers, watching anime, and playing video games. Should be a blast.

Lastly, we've got a new club forum on the internet for you to chat about anime or manga or whatever with other club members. It's still kinda small and starting out, but we hope it'll grow a bit as we advertise at club and whatnot. Location: http://minnanoanime.invisionplus.net/

Hello and welcome to the new reign of terror provided by yours truly. For those who don't know me, I'm Andy, an Aerospace Engineering major currently entering his third year here. I'm also the webmaster of this lovely club website (round of applause for Brian and the other previous webmasters for their wonderful work here). Being webmaster I get this great new blog, mwahahaha. Just kidding.

Anyway, hopefully your summer is going well. The rest of the officers and myself are head-deep in discussion about what to force feed you in club next year. Rest assured, we're gonna have a great line up for you. We all look forward to seeing y'all again in club once school starts up again!
