This Week -- Note attached cartoon!  There's a .gif just waiting for you!

MESSAGE FROM THAT GUY
Greetings to you! This message will be the warm and loving greeting
from this officer which helps you vote for videos with fun and lively
confidence! Let's please read this article together!

This will be the week I promise to return to the club that we enjoy. I
do not like to be sick sometimes but I seem greatly to get ill. I will
come to the club now that I am no longer feeling the sickness that I had
when I wanted to go before. Perhaps with me we can watch more of the
Utena fairy tale? Because I always like to watch Nanami get gimped
sometimes.

Friend of mine Jessica Calvello, that fine and spirited person who
voices for Mink and Cutey Honey, is feeling sadness this week! It is
what she called the post-con depression. Please with me make her
cheery! Would you like to send cheerful and friendly greetings to
Jessica Calvello that I will soon then e-mail to her? Send these to
kdhuss@wm.edu or bring to the meeting what you would like to send. Fan
art would be a happiness to her as well, if you are skilled animator.

See http://www.jcalvello.com/chibi.html and you will see that Chibi-Jess
needs some happy now.

Now to the President Gehirn, who is of a frightening type of nature, but
he clones me so I kill the tourons in the old-fashoined and charismatic
town.


Presidential Fiat
Well, hello everyone.  I thought that we were going to Kyoto tomorrow, so I will have to work hard to get you a manga translation on time, but I will try.  It will be funny.  Since the last one only took me two hours, I should get it to you all with the proper speed.

Saw Gasaraki recently; was highly entertained.  It also goes on the list of current anime I am recommending.    Remember to see Jubei-chan as well.  And Neoranga.

To all non-students: I am really sorry we didn't have a newsletter last week to tell you that the school locks down tighter than the Geo-Front during an angel attack for Thanksgiving.  I hope you weren't too inconvenienced.

Anyway, that's pretty much it for now.  Check out the attached picture; it's part of a new series of one-panel comics related to the club.  This one is by our very own That Guy, Kara, but if you want to do stuff like this, just e-mail us and we'll force you to work in the dwarf porn mines like all the other artists. 

Who are "Blair, Mama, and Jack?"  Just wait... 

>(@_@)< (Say WHAT?!?!)
Okay, all you I-Want-to-Go-to-Katsucon lovelies, here's the plan: everyone who's planning to register with the club needs to either give me $35 or talk to me by December 15 afternoon.  That's one week after the last day of classes, also known as the first Friday of exams.  If you don't contact me by then, you're on your own for registration. 

As for the hotel, we've, so far, reserved one room.  We should be able to house everyone at peoples' houses during this con.  The hotel room is then for people to change costumes, dump off their dealer's room goods, crash if they need a rest, take a shower, or stay at if they end up missing their ride or insist on staying up for the inevitable video room evening.  We will be assigning people to drivers, so it will be the driver's jobs to make sure that they don't leave anyone without talking to them about it first. 

A lot of folks have been asking why we haven't been dressing up TJ recently.  Don't worry, we'll start doing that again once we have some daylight to work with.  He will look funny again, I swear it.

Finally, I'll be bringing a questionnaire for everyone to fill out for the WMAS roster for the webpage.  Don't worry, it's short and absolutely superficial.

Tina's Naked
Hey folks!  Hope your break went really well.  I know I had lots of fun with Mike's family.  I earned some major brownie points!  But this Saturday is the Kyoto dinner at 5:30pm.  I already made a reservation for 23 people and bought the gift certificates for all those who paid their member dues.  Remember to meet in front of the UC at 5pm to wait for the cars.  We'll be leaving the UC at approx. 5:15pm.  So be there or be left! 

Also, for our last official meeting, we'll be having our first ever Anime Garage Sale!  That will be on Dec. 8th starting at 6pm.  If you want to sell something, remember to have your name, the price of the product, and the quality written on the product.  This will just make it easier for everyone.  So that's all the information I can think of for you all :)  I am free! ^_^

Mike's Not As Naked
Hey everyone!  Not much going on here.  This has been reading hell for me this week, so I missed out on a little bit of anime watching around here -_-  But anyway, hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving break.  As long as no one had any weird delusions provoked by the twist end of the Black Rose mixed with a little too much turkey.  So what did actually happen?  Fortunately that's the biggest mindscrew the series pulls.  So don't worry if you didn't get it; you're in good company.  We've got our theories, but alas, many of them involve the creators and hard drugs.

Moving on, I have 9 people who have expressed interest in a T-shirt:
Abby, Julie, Tina Wagner, Josh, Alicia, Tina Liu, >(*_*)<, Veronica, and myself

Anyone else, e-mail me ASAP.  Hopefully we can get the orders done before I have to leave for break.  See ya later on!

Quasi-Trivia Questions
LAST WEEK:
POLL QUESTION: What color would your Duelist Rose be?
We had more colors than Crayola.  Good on you.

EASY QUESTION: Who's sexier: Franken von Vogler or Dr. Shizuma?
It was agreed that, if nothing else, Vogler is more "exciting."  Plus, any guy who talks about the "perfect eternal night"...

HARD QUESTION: The data dog from Cowboy Bebop happens to contain a grainy picture of which famous celebrity doing what?
Oh, look, Mr. Connery has something to say...

THIS WEEK:
POLL QUESTION:
What should Spark be doing for a living instead of being a knight?

EASY QUESTION:
More concern for others' needs: Leaf or Faye Valentine?

HARD QUESTION: 
Summarize the Black Rose saga in verse.  We reserve the right not to read thousand-line epics and the like.
