Hello all, new and old. I've set up my Netscape mail for distribution, so
finally I'm getting out that e-mail I told Aaron I'd write. In case you're
wondering, it's his roommate that's writing this. Aaron tends to have class and
work to do, whereas I tend to schedule my life so that there are days when I
can become a vegetable for hours on end.
At any rate, last week's meeting was great, although the number of new
members was slightly smaller than the Ben-Hur crowds we had anticipated. We pushed
forth nonetheless, and hope to see more of you next time. It's still Friday
(September 4),
We've tabulated the results of the surveys we handed out, and the verdict is
final: Angela, one of our returning members, cannot take a survey seriously.
The rest of you we thank wholeheartedly. It seems that you really liked
everything except the "Classic" category, which we won't show if
Aaron and I can ever totally quantify what's in it. I thought it meant more early
In the future, this newsletter will be filled with all sorts of fantastic
stuff that you give to me for mass distribution, as well as the usual news and
activities. Unfortunately, I had not asked for submissions until now, so you're
only getting the news and activities. For submissions, I'm looking for cool web
sites, bits of humor, and thoughtful short prose, all of which is hopefully
anime-related. I'm not really into fan fiction, so please don't send me any.
Aaron's friend Alex might be interested, though. Reviews of new anime are
encouraged.
Glad to have you on board for the most exciting celluloid related club on
campus; I hope to see you all Friday. Please bring suggestions for activities other
than just watching anime; we want to be a dynamic club this year.

PS- Oh, before I forget, Neko-con is an anime convention in
Tenchi TV: Next meeting we'll have more people crash
in on Tenchi, Tenchi acting really embarrassed as nubile alien women chase him
around, and Mihoshi will still not be able to kick start her one brain cell.
What's new?
Slayers: The next episode will explain exactly what item Lina and
Gourry have that causes them to be chased by a man with severe second degree
burns and a fantasy being that appears to have an unusual but pronounced case
of psoriasis.
El Hazard: So, why does Makoto, member of Weenies Anonymous and
accidental dimensional traveler, have some girl crawling into his bed in the
wee hours of the morning? (Hint: it's not for his charm.) Find out next time!

Nice cat girl pictures.
http://www.anime-int.com/bgc/index.html - this is AIC's site for their new
Bubblegum Crisis TV show. It's also probably their last site update in English;
the financial crisis is causing the company to cut back a bit, and those of us
who don't read Japanese fluently aren't their main audience. To complain about
this, you can e-mail aic@anime_int.com. Check out their main site as well.
Anyway, the site is really cool, especially the time of day effects on the
buildings.
http://www.wm.edu/SO/WMAS - This is our club's home page. Hopefully it will be
in Flash 3 soon, but if not, I'll try to get it updated.
Please e-mail me at section06@hotmail.com. You can, of course, reply to this message, but this is mostly an outgoing mailbox; I may not check it often enough. Please feel free to give me all your questions, comments, suggestions, and criticism. If you want to get off of this list, you should probably e-mail me, although I'd hate to let you go. If you leave, there's a 50% chance Shrodinger's cat will die. If you need to speak to me personally, call X6232.
