"Yeah, it uses a nuclear power source, but it's the most efficient way to
provide energy and the chances of any nuclear material coming loose are
negligible."
- a line that SHOULD have been in the
"lines never mentioned in anime" web page I read
last night instead of most of the Ranma jokes.
Dear Club Members,
Lots of news today and not much
fluff from me. There's to be a surprise for you guys, but I can't tell you what
it is on pain of internal hemmoraging by thrown flora. It does not involve
FTD-wannabe men in tuxedos or turbans, though.
Most
important among our business today is whether we want a meeting on the twelfth
of December. Technically it's exam time, but we can be there and with videos.
Are you going to be busy studying then? If not, we can provide you with only the
best in animated Japanese entertainment.
Next on our list
are the conventions next semester. I'm not going to be here (more on that
later), but on our list is Katsucon (Arlington, February 12 to February 14) and
Animazement (Raleigh, NC March 19 to 21). Both are $30 for the weekend. Once
you're there, you can't go back until the end, so budget your time accordingly.
We promise we won't leave you here, Mike. As for everyone else, just stick to
the with people with cars. Housing for Katsucon will be with the parents of
people we know in the Northern Virginia area. Therefore, it's free. Animazement
will require a hotel room. If we get into a large enough group for Animazement
(10 people) we can get a discount on the admission, not the hotel.
Speaking of upcoming events, starting November 30 the
Cartoon Network will be showing seventeen episodes of Sailor Moon never released
professionally before in the US. It's dubbed, but it's fun. Check it out.
Next on the agenda is my absence. I'm going to Japan next
semester, so I won't be around to do stuff like announce the voting and write
the newsletter. Does anybody want to do this? Please respond.
Now, on the subject of the mascot. The following names
have been submitted from the last trivia question:
- Ben
This week's questions:
HARD: Name an energy source that melts in your mouth, not in your hand.
EASY: Better gymnastic ability - Tanya or Merle?
HINTS: The first one refers to some item that provides energy. It must be
initially solid. And it's not Gel. Gel sublimates under room temperature.
Tanya is the girl who acts just like a cat girl in
Battle Athletes but isn't. Merle is actually a cat girl, and she's from
Escaflowne. Who does better gymnastics?
