HEADLINE NEWS
The Democratic Party of Japan led by the charismatic Makoto Mizuhara has placed a challenge to the recent election of Katshiko Jinnai to the office of Prime Minister by a narrow coaliton of Jinnai's Liberal Democratic Party and the influential Bugrom Party.  Mizuhara not only alleges wide-spread corruption within the LDP and the voting process, but also challenges the weight of the Bugrom vote. "As the Bugrom are a Hive Mind, slavishly following their vinyl-clad queen, they should count as a much smaller percentage because unlike humans, they have no free will to choose how to vote," said Nanami Jinnai, another member of Mizuhara's Democratic Party.  Representative Katsuo Bugrom of the Kanto District responded with: "Mwrm mwrm mwrm.... mwrm Mrwm mwrm. [shaking fist] mrwm mrwm [left antennae twitch] Mrwm."  The Supreme Court is looking into the issue.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW --
Manga reading.  6:30.  Be there, or be dead.

 The parody dub is almost finished!  The last scene is being mixed, and we hope to finish things off this weekend.  If all goes according to plan, castmembers will see the video early next week, and it will be debuted in club a week from today.  Otherwise, it will definitely be ready for Katsucon.  For those interested, we do indeed have Tristan MacAvery (the American voice of Gendo) doing a cameo in the latter part of the episode!

In other news, before we put in the order for the T-shirts, we want to verify that no one else wants one.  As the more people order, the cheaper they get (bulk prices), the individual price will vary depending on the total number of orderers.  So far, they will be around 6 - 7 dollars.  Meeting after next, barring further delays, we will try to collect money.

As for Katsucon, housing assigments are nearly finished, but we need to know who has vehicles and driving skills that they are willing to offer up for the benefit of the club.  The current list is:
Robert Ota Dieterich
Tom Keeler
Amanda Pollock
Adam Gieseler
Carter Eberly
Josh Moger
We need to know for sure if you are able to drive people to and from Katsucon as well as between the convention and the house you are assigned to stay at.  In other words, is your car here at campus and, if not, can it be in time to get people to Katsucon and back.

Poll Question:
LAST WEEK:
What is your "lesson of the day"?

THIS WEEK:
How would you make 30,000 friends?  What would you do with them?

Quasi-Trivia Questions:
LAST WEEK:
Easy -- Better styling: Vicious or Touga?

Hard -- Describe a date between Rally Vincent and Spike Spiegel. Who pays? Who drives? Who takes out the thugs in the alley? Will Spike be introduced to Rally's family of Satmer Chasidim, of which she is the black sheep? (Just so you know, Spike and Rally are both Jewish. They used to be Pinchas Spiegel and Rifka Zuckerman, respectively.)

THIS WEEK:
Easy -- Obvious pickup line or not: "Hey, wanna come with me to an Amusement Park and deliver some roses?  We can take my convertible and rent a hotel... <awkward pause> ...you know, in case we run late."

Hard --  You are standing on Earth, looking North, on March 13th at midnight and see Unicron, the planet-devouring beast from Transformers the Movie, in the sky.  It appears to be the same size as the moon.  The next night, again at midnight and looking North, you see Unicron again and it is twice the size of the moon.  How long before you die?
