===MNA - Super Happy Fun Reminders!!!===

<pre>
 +
(Minna No Anime, Thu Jan  4 13:53:58 2001)
 +
Konichiwa Minna-san,
 +
 +
I hope you've all been having a nice break from school and have been
 +
missing waiting for school to start up again so we can all go back to our
 +
weekly Saturday anime binges.
 +
 +
So here's the notices and such...
 +
 +
Club DVD player - We'll be collection donations for a club player (so we
 +
can stop borrowing Ben's player) for the first couple of weekends winter
 +
quarter.  So, if you have $5 to $50 (or any amount) that you'd like to
 +
donate to us so that we can get our own player it'll be greatly
 +
appreciated.  Of course the player we get will be Macrovision-free and
 +
Region-free so that we can continue to show the newest, coolest stuff in
 +
the world of anime.
 +
 +
Meetings - Our first meeting will be Saturday January 13 from 5 to 10pm
 +
(same as last quarter).  We'll be continuing the regular series (Rayearth,
 +
Bebop, Lodoss, Kenshin, Slayers, Utena, Maison Ikkoku, Fushigi Yuugi) and
 +
finishing FLCL (as it comes out) showing Kodocha as it's available and
 +
showing the OVA "Please Save My Earth".  We'll probably also be showing
 +
some "Turn 'A' Gundam" and "Here and There, Now and Then".  Unfortunately
 +
Utena will be ending this quarter,  I'll make sure we keep showing
 +
interesting, different anime even without the End of the World.
 +
Minna no Manga will probably start up on Jan 16, so keep up on that Kana.
 +
 +
Other News and Fun - I went to Japan town, in San Francisco, last Saturday
 +
and spent far too much money on far too many cool imports (although I did
 +
manage to hold off on buying the Gundam movie DVD's... for now).  I highly
 +
recommend that everyone watch some UC Gundam (not Wing, or X, or Turn 'A')
 +
it's really great stuff.  I also suggest that everyone pick up a copy of
 +
Kenshin manga books 17 - 28 and either learn Japanese or read along with
 +
a translation (there are a few online and one of our members is doing his
 +
own translation). The end of the manga is even better than the Shishio
 +
saga, really great stuff.
 +
 +
 +
That's enough rambling from me, for now.

 +
Konnichiwa minna-san,

 +
 +

 +
followed by gourging proportions of Minna no Anime.
 +
 +
We will actually be restarting our work on Katakana (The Japanese alphabet
 +
used to write forign (which are mostly American) words).  Ben-sensei will
 +
be there as his health has been improving over the last week.
 +

stuff that has lots of kanji in it (we can always do more fan translations

of "panty high school").

 +
Where: bldg 14-246
 +

Konbanwa Minna-san,

 +
Tomorrows meeting content: null
 +
Entertainment value: great
 +
Educational value: glorious!
 +
 +
Yes it's time for another meeting of Minna no Manga, where we all get our

weekly dose of kanji (hopefully with furigana).  If anyone needs help

reading or writing I'll do my best or send you to someone who can help
 +
you.

 +
date/time: Tuesday, 7pm
 +
 +
 +
Also note that this weekend MNA will be moved into 3-112 (the room we were
 +
in last week).  Yes, yes we know you don't like having to move, but
 +
neither do we.  I really don't like having to go to the small big screen,
 +
but it's better than nothing, honestly.

===MNA Meeting 2/3===

 +
(Minna No Anime, Thu Feb  1 23:37:51 2001)
 +
Thank you all for tolerating the schedule changes last week...  and
 +
hopefully thank you in advance for tolerating the ones for this week.
 +
Yes, you heard me right, we are not going to be in our usual spot, so for
 +
those of you who need to get your weekly anime fix, we will be in 03-112,
 +
same room as last week after the move.
 +
 +
On a happier note, thank you to all of you who contributed to the MNADVD
 +
fund, the 2 of you know who you are...  j/k.  But seriously, thank you.
 +
We nearly had enough through donations alone to buy the player, and the
 +
order is being made as we speak.  Soon we shall be watching all our great
 +
shows (yeah yeah, we are allowed to toot our horns once in a while) on our
 +
new MNADVD Player.  Future generations of rabid otaku will thank you as
 +
well.
 +
 +
On a final note, this week is the last week for t-shirt preorders.  Bring
 +
cash or plastic.  Yes we take plastic, we keep it until you pay us cash.

"Shiawase yori kanashimi" tte totemo ii kotoba desu ne

I hope that has some resemblance to actual Japanese.  If you don't think
 +
it's correct or you want to know what I wrote come to Minna no Manga this

 +
learn Japanese or just look at pretty pictures.

===Japan Trip SOS===
 +
<pre>
 +
(Minna No Anime, Thu Feb  8 17:51:15 2001)
 +
"And now that I have your attention...
 +
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
 +
 +
-Labrat
 +
 +
 +
I don't think that I could have said it any better myself.  As you all
 +
probably know, I, your Minna no Anime president, am planing on taking a
 +
trip to Japan this spring quarter.  Well, unfortunately, we found out this
 +
morning that we just don't have enough people to go yet.
 +
 +
So I'm desperately trying to contact everybody I know and get them to come
 +
along with me.  The deadline for my mission is very soon.  We need to sign
 +
up two or three more people to make the program work.
 +
 +
What are we going to do on this trip?  How much does it cost?  How long is
 +
it?
 +
 +
Well... I'm glad that you asked these questions.  I spent a couple hours
 +
this afternoon compiling all that information into a Word document which I
 +
converted to HTML and stuck on a web site that I've never done anything
 +
with before.  I was planning on making it my on-line Japanese Trip
 +
Journal, but if I can't go, I can't do that!
 +
 +
Anyways, the answer to most of your questions should be at this site plus
 +
a list of all the really cool stuff we're going to be doing:
 +
 +
http://www.piyo-piyo.org/
 +
 +
 +
It may seem a little expensive, but this is a once in a lifetime
 +
opportunity.  The professors going with us have tried very diligently to
 +
get us the best deal, and there's no way that you could do as much stuff
 +
as we're planning on doing for so little.
 +
 +
Don't worry about your lack of experience with Japanese.  All of the
 +
classes will be taught by Cal Poly professors in English, and the rest you
 +
can pick up as you go. ^_^
 +
 +
Please, think deeply and hard, and most importantly fast!  If you need to,
 +
call your parents tonight, and try and arrange your finances.  Remember,
 +
you can get your financial aide reevaluated for this trip to help you
 +
along.
 +
 +
There are several people from Minna no Anime going, so you will have lots
 +
of friends there to share the glory that will be this trip to Japan.
 +
 +
One more benefit to coming on this trip: I will be your best friend for
 +
life (that's right, life!), and owe you a million favors!  (See how
 +
desperate I am?)  I've been looking forward to this trip for some time now
 +
and will go into a serious depression next quarter if I can't go. ;_;
 +
 +
If you have any more questions, call or email me.  The numbers are on the
 +
web site.
 +
 +
So, for my sake, Tony's sake, Labrat's sake, Tim's sake, and for the sake
 +
of the very stability of Minna no Anime (I cannot be held responsible for
 +
my actions if I am not allowed to go) come join us on a trip and adventure
 +
in Japan this Spring quarter!

 +
(Minna No Anime, Thu Feb  8 19:08:54 2001)
 +
The "Fuku" edition of the MNA letter:
 +
Konbanwa Minna-san,
 +
 +
What a concept, no new news except for the fact that we are having a
 +
giveaway before the Kenshin movie.  Lotsa good stuff, a week you don't
 +
want to miss.  Don't say we never give you anything.
 +
 +
And now, for those it pleases, we proudly present:
 +
Schedule, the weekly email
 +
 +
5:00 Maison Ikkoku #34 - Be pushy for love! Grandma Yukari with gold teeth
 +
5:25 Now and Then, Here and There #1
 +
 +
Break - After a few weeks of old school Lupin we go to a cool new show
 +
from the director of Kodocha (although this show is very different from
 +
Kodocha). 
 +
 +
6:00 Fushigi Yuugi #13 - For the Sake of Love
 +
6:25 MK Rayearth #12 - Fearsome Illusionist Caldina
 +
 +
Break - Ashram vs. Akio: which one wins the title of 'most suave bad guy'
 +
 +
7:00 Lodoss War TV #15 - An Old Enemy... Reunion With the Black Knight
 +
7:25 Shoujo Kakumei Utena #35 - The Love that Budded in Wintertime
 +
 +
Break - Finally the Kenshin movie!  Unfortunately this is the last
 +
appearance Saitou makes in animated Kenshin (except for the OVA's).  I
 +
know, I know; it's just not fair to leave you like that, but it's not my
 +
fault, honestly.
 +
 +
8:00 Rurouni Kenshin Movie: Ishin Shishi e no Requiem (Requiem for the
 +
Ishin Shishi)
 +
 +
 +
Will we have more technical difficulties this week?
 +
Will we watch an ADV dub of Kenshin?
 +
Will Yotsuya give Godai another gift?
 +
Will we only have the silo of part of the night again?
 +
Will 'Welcome to Lodoss Island' present some great philosophical
 +
commentary on the meaning of life?
 +
 +
 +
I hope none of those things happen.
 +
 +
We're really sorry about all the problems we've been having the last
 +
couple of weeks.  We appreciate all your cooperation in moving things back
 +
and forth and not complaining about the small screen and bad sound system.
 +
We're try to keep things in the club as professional as possible, but we
 +
have slipups sometimes too.
 +
 +

===MNA - Library/MNM Meeting===

<pre>
 +
(Minna No Anime, Sun Feb 11 22:56:05 2001)
 +
Konbanwa,
 +
 +
Today's edition is a super-special dual part message.
 +
 +
Part 1: State of the Librarian Address
 +
 +
Our librarian, Paul, will be gone this weekend (as I imagine many of you
 +
will be as well).  But that will not stop the free exchange of tapes.  So

if there are any tapes you want for next week email him at:

and he'll make sure the tapes get to club this weekend.

If you missed it last week, we announced that during the last 6 weeks of

we'll see more kids trying to sneak in and see thier favorite celebrities?
 +
Perhaps Matt and Nic will talk about video games? Maybe Dylan and Nur will

torment themselves discussing Region 2 DVDs?  Maybe Shane will more

 +

===MNM - Meeting 3/6===

<pre>
 +
(Minna No Anime, Sun Mar  4 23:55:05 2001)
 +
Konnanichiwa!
 +
 +
 +
It's time for Fuku's weekly rant and rave, also known as the Minna no
 +
Manga newsletter!  This week;s rant:  Why is it that I can't easily output
 +
my Utena movie DVD with subtitles?  This week's rave:  Maison Ikkoku
 +
manga, I love it!  My favorite work by Rumiko Takahashi (Ranma, Urusei
 +
Yatsura, Inu Yasha).  The anime takes quite a few liberties from the
 +
manga, but keeps everything going well, it presents stories that were
 +
never in the manga and gives a different perspective on many of the manga
 +
stories. Plus I love Yotsuya's voice actor.  You should all come at 5 to
 +
watch it, or ask me and borrow my manga.
 +
 +
Now to the official business:
 +
 +
What: Minna no Manga
 +
When: Tuesday, 7pm
 +
Why: Because we love the show "What a cool we are!" and discussing Kenshin
 +
manga

===MNA Meeting 3/10===
 +
<pre>
 +
(Minna No Anime, Fri Mar  9 01:04:29 2001)
 +
Fuku says- (and I quote) "I have now 3 DVD players in my room, 2 of which
 +
are region free, I am better than you all."
 +
Fuku-san is also not going to be getting sleep due to his procurement of a
 +
Playstation 2 and Tekken Tag.
 +
 +
What this all means to you dear and gentle readers:  1) Sears had a couple
 +
of playstation 2's left after we got ours this evening, so if you want one
 +
and rush, it can be yours for retail price, not ebay markup.
 +
2)If you show up at Fuku-san's room at any time of the day or night, you
 +
will be able to play Tekken Tag.  (PAAAAARTY AT FUKU'S!)
 +
 +
This Week's Lineup:
 +
 +
5:00 Maison Ikkoku #10 - Dangerous costume party! Kyoko's radical change
 +

 +

 +
enjoyed
 +
 +

 +
8:25 Magic Knight Rayearth #16 - A Powerful Foe! Lafarga the Swordmaster
 +

9:35 Utena #39 - Someday Shine Together
 +
 +
Yes that was the final episode, and unlike Gekiganger, it didn't move to a
 +
different timeslot and continue for another season unbeknownst to you
 +
(with apologies to Akito).  I will be bringing a shovel with me and those
 +
of us who remain living without more Utena to watch can hold an all night
 +
(or at least what remains of it) vigil in memory of those who couldn't.
 +
BTW, Gina (MNA munnygrubber) says she has dibs on Fuku's Import stuff. =)

===MNA - AX01 / MNM===
 +
<pre>
 +
(Minna No Anime, Mon Mar 12 10:08:24 2001)
 +
Zenryaku Minna-san,
 +
 +
First of all, the AX01 info.  After careful consideration by myself and
 +
Ben we decided that the club will NOT be doing any kind of assistance for
 +
Anime Expo 2001.  This does not mean that you can't talk and work out
 +
arrangements for it during club, just that there will be no official club
 +
assistance in getting tickets, rides or housing.  Sorry for any
 +
inconvenience caused by this.
 +
 +
 +
And now for something completely different...
 +
 +
Minna no Manga - last meeting of the quarter!
 +
 +
We can (hopefully) get our fix of "What a cool we are!"
 +
 +
When: Tuesday 7PM
 +
Where: 14-246
 +
Why: because we don't like studying when there's manga to be read!

===MNA - Tsurugi's / Open House===
 +
<pre>
 +
(Minna No Anime, Mon Mar 12 19:26:49 2001)
 +
Konbanwa Minna-san,
 +
 +
It's time for the second two-part newsletter of the day.  This time the
 +
subjects are this Saturday's trip to Tsurugi's and Open House.
 +
 +
Tsurugi's - due to technical difficulties, we lost the sheet of people who
 +
signed up to go this Saturday at noon to Tsurugi's.  Please reply to this
 +
message ASAP if you want to go this Saturday.  Again the information is:
 +
 +
When: Saturday, March 17 - Noon (it's best to get there a little early)
 +
Where: Tsurugi's Japanese Restaurant,  570 Higuera.  (Right next to
 +
Tortilla Flats)
 +
Cost: lunch will run between $10 - $20 depending on what you get, it's all
 +
great food with excellent atmosphere and presentation.
 +
Why: to have a break before finals with your friends at Minna no Anime,
 +
and to eat delicious foods.
 +
 +
 +
Open House:
 +
 +
Open House is right around the corner - Saturday April 21.
 +
 +
We will have the same booth that we had last year (hopefully in a similar
 +
location) and will be running things in approximately the same way as we
 +
did last year.  Additionally we should have a second booth space for more
 +
informational/educational club activities.  We will also be trying to sell
 +
California Rolls this year.  What's this all mean?
 +
 +
It means that we need volunteers!  Yes, you too can help out your fellow
 +
otaku and, hopefully, have some fun while doing it.  We will be selling
 +
our traditional Yakitori (BBQ'd Teriyaki chicken), club tshirts and
 +
California rolls.  This means that we need people to help us prepare all
 +
these foods.
 +
 +
Thankfully, the very nice people over at Tsurugi's will allow us to
 +
infiltrate their professional kitchen and show us how to make California
 +
rolls the correct way.  They will also be providing us with our Teriyaki
 +
sauce.
 +
 +
So if you would like to help out we need people who want to learn how to
 +
make (and eat) California rolls.  We will need you on the following dates
 +
(note that these dates are approximate for now):
 +
 +
April 7 - training session at Tsurugi's to make California rolls
 +
April 19(or 20) - late night prepare the rolls at Tsurugi's to sell at
 +
Open House
 +
 +
We would not specifically require that you come to Open House, but you
 +
might as well enjoy in the fun if you've already put in the hard work.
 +
 +
 +
We will also need as many people as are willing to come and help us at the
 +
booth on Saturday, April 21.  This includes people to make rice, prepare
 +
and BBQ chicken and other activities.  You don't need to stay all day, it
 +
will be helpful even if you can only help for a few hours.
 +
 +
So, if you want to help with either (or both) of those events, or want to
 +
see if there's something else you can do to take up your time please reply
 +
to this message.  Just say what you can do help and it will be
 +
appreciated.
 +
 +
 +
Well, I think I'm done annoying everyone for today.
 +
 +
Back to your regularly scheduled studying and manga reading.

 +
without Lina, be sure to be at Tsurugi's (570 Higuera) a little before
 +
noon on Saturday.
 +
 +
 +
Otherwise, just come to watch the anime.  Finals?  What are those?  You
 +
don't need to study, you just need to watch anime.  =)

6:25 Fushigi Yuugi #18 - A Love Trap

 +
 +
Note:  This will be our first attempt at live subtitling (via Fuku's
 +
computer - heh heh... Fuku and technology... heh) from a import DVD
 +
(higher quality does not even come close to describing the difference).
 +
So please bear with us, we hope the final result will be worth our
 +
efforts.
 +
 +
We'll probably also have some music videos on during breaks, so stick
 +
around for the bonus material.
 +
 +
That is all,

 +

 +
Ben)).

MNA - Halloween fun

(Minna No Anime, Mon Oct 23 11:59:18 2000)
Moshi moshi minna-san!

Dylan here again with some good news.  As you may be aware we will be
having halloween festivities 2 saturdays from now (Nov 4).  Aside from the
normal shows we will be showing halloweeny-type episodes from other series
and some movies.  How can we fit this all in our normal hours you ask?  We
aren't!  Showing times are being extended from 3PM to Midnight.

Other activities:
anime pumpkin carving contest
anime trivia quiz game
costume contest
pin the scar on the battousai
and more TBA

There will prizes for all of these contests, and the winner of the costume
contest (who must also participate in the trivia contest) will get the
grand prize:

$150 (to spend on anime goodies)

We will take signups this Saturday.

Also, if anyone has access to a sewing machine that we could use we would
be eternally grateful.


We will also be having pizza (sponsered by the club).  We will be taking
signups saturday for the low, low price of

$2.50 for half a pizza!!!

Yes, that is correct.  So, if you want to gourge yourself for no money at
all bring your $2.50 this saturday.  Pre-pay isn't required, but it will
make this whole process a lot easier for everyone.

Also, we will be starting up our $.50 a soda service again (hopefully this
Saturday).


Remember: this week we will be in 34-227 (Dexter)

So we now return you to your boring lives of homework, study and more
study (at least, that's about all I do).

See you Saturday,

Dylan Hall
Fukukaichou (VP)

MNA - Quiz game

(Minna No Anime, Mon Oct 23 17:59:25 2000)
Hi again,

Here's a repost of the quiz question submission rules (in case you weren't
on the newsletter, or delete the email):
<
Here's the part where you can help; we need questions.  We are trying to
get enough questions so that everyone who wants to join in the game will
be able to.  
Thus we are asking that everyone who wants to play submit at
least 1 question (with answer).  Remember, the more questions you submit
the higher the chances are you will be asked a question you know the
answer to.

Of course this wouldn't be a Cal Poly event unless we had a long list of
rules and archaic bureaucratic prosses, so here they are:

1.  Mark Salcido from AJAS (Atascadero Japanese Animation Society) will be
running the competition.  Thus, all questions need to be submitted to him
at:
yaithaven@yahoo.com
Please make
"Anime Trivia Question"
the subject line of the email. Any questions sent to 
any address other than that are subject to the will of the cosmos and
might not be included in the list of questions.

2.  The questions must come from somewhere in the subtitles or in the
animation of the show.  Credits don't count as subtitles.  e.g. no
questions like, "What's the name of the voice actor who played: Spike
Speigel (Cowboy Bebop), Ryoga Hibiki (Ranma 1/2), Papachariino (Photon)
and Kagetsu (Shamanic Princess)?" 

3.  The questions cannot be translation questions, unless the Japanese
word is found in the subtitles.  e.g. "In Lodoss War, what is the
Japanese for 'Scepter of Domination'?" However, "In Rurouni Kenshin, what
does Saitou's catch phrase of 'naru hodo' mean?" is a perfectly legit
question because it is translated and also left in Japanese.

4.  Submit the questions in the following form:
Anime from: Nuku-Nuku
Question: What color hair does Nuku-Nuku have?
Answer: Violet

5.  Lastly, try to stay away from the most obscure of references.  It's no
fun if nobody can answer any of the questions.  Also, be creative and have
fun, the point is to have a good time.  So, party on Wayne, party on
Garth.

That's about it for rules and regulations.

Did I fail to mention that there will be prizes for the top finishers!
Money!? Anime goods!? Who knows! But a good time will be had by all.
So get to writing and send in your quesions.
>
So, don't delete this one too, or I'll have to fill up your email boxes
again.


And one final note:  we will have at least some access to a sewing
machine, so don't let a little sewing stop you from making your 1:2 scale
cloth Gundam!

Maybe I won't send out another email today; but then what would you have
to look forward to?


Be sure to drink your Ovaltine,

PS - I'll give some kind of prize to the first person to answer all the
above questions correctly (without looking up the answers on websites or
other locations).

home?

MNA - Minna no Manga 10/31 and Halloween Reminder

(Minna No Anime, Mon Oct 30 22:12:05 2000)
A ghoulish greeting to all,

We will be holding a very scary meeting of Minna no Manga tomorrow night.
There will be more Cadaver Kana and Eerie Editing, of course this is all
preceeded by Ghastly Greetings.


Anyways...
Same bat place (14-250), same bat time (7PM-10PM), same bat stuff (pencil,
paper, manga)


Also remember:  Our first
over-the-top-extravagent-expensive-alluring-intimidating-halloween party
will be this Saturday.  So be sure to ready your costume (I know of at
least 5 people doing costumes, which means that the chances of getting the
$150 prize are pretty good) and make your pumpkin.

We will have prizes (Cd's, tapes, posters , etc) for every event and also
some random door givaway stuff,  guaranteed fun for all!


So send in those trivia questions and get yourself a roll of gauze tape
for your Shishio costume.  We have a sewing machine available for use if
anyone needs it, just email us.

in room 111, we will be having "Pin the Scar on the Battousai," the only

MNA Meeting 11/18

(Minna No Anime, Thu Nov 16 12:37:00 2000)
Youkoso Minna no Anime e,

Hoo ra for our weekly anime fix...  it is almost here.  First a few notes
from our dedicated hard-working officer team.  We know there are those of
you who dream of going to Japan and blowing your life savings on loads of
anime ...  err...  stuff...  well, do we have a deal for you!  Tuesday
November 28, from 11AM until 12, in the buisiness building, room 209 there
will be a meeting for all interested in spending their Spring quarter in
Japan.  Yes, you heard me right, Spring quarter in Japan, you earn units,
and get to see the culture.  This is open to all students, you don't  have
to know a word of Japanese either, but it is a great excuse to start
learning now.  (Shameless Plug o' the Week #1:  Also a great excuse to
attend Minna no Manga on Tuesday Nights, 7-9PM, 14-250, learn how to read
and understand Japanese through Manga!)  SUGOI!  SUBAROSHI!

For those of you who aren't going to be making the overseas trek to Nihon,
Fanime Con happens to fall on a perfect day for us Poly students.  LUCKY!
The last weekend of Spring Break, Fanime will be held in the Santa Clara
Convention Center.  This means all of you Bay Area Anime goers should have
no excuse for not going, and all you from SoCal, talk to one of your
northern neighbors.  Because of this fortuitous event, we will be taking
sign ups so we can get group rates (read:  We Save You Money if you Wanna
Go).

Now, on to the schedule:

5:00 FLCL # 2 From DVD!  Your anime FRESH.
5:25 Maison Ikkoku ep whatever...  not so fresh, but still cool

Break - I wish some company other than Viz owned Maison Ikkoku...  2 TV
quality eps on VHS for only $30!  What a steal!  (for them)  *note:  the
opinions stated herein are those solely of the Fukukaichou and loyal
henchman Matt, not necessarily of the club

6:00  Slayers #9 - IMPACT! The Eve of the Menacing Battle!
6:25  Fushigi Yuugi #8 - Brief Parting

Break - This time, Zelgadis and Gourry give Lina an external blood
transfusion...

7:00  Kodomo no Omocha #30
7:25  Kenshin #60 - The One Who Permits Victory. Shishio vs Kenshin. Last
Battle!

Break - Maybe Mummy man will FINALLY go down...  or will he.  Nevermind,
this isn't Dragonball, they can't take 50 eps for the fight.

8:00  Lodoss War TV #9 - The Young Knight - Tested Strength
8:25  Magic Knight Rayearth #7 - Ferlo in Desperation P A Romance in the
Desert

Break - Don't EVER challenge Presea to Dance Dance Revolution

9:00  Cowboy Bebop #9 - Jamming with Edward
9:25  Utena #30 - The Barefoot Girl

No break, go home ya bums, no more anime handouts...

Shameless Plug o' the Week #2 - http://www.calpoly.edu/~minnclub  our
world famous site...  or so we would like to think.

Mata mite ne,
Matt

MNA - Minna 'NO' Meeting

(Minna No Anime, Mon Nov 20 17:42:02 2000)
Konbanwa minna-san,

First the bad news:

No meetings this week.  No Minna no Manga, and no Minna no Anime.  So you
all better be eating delicious foods without Lina or there'll be hell to
pay.


The Good News:

Spring Quarter in Japan - Any student with available funds can spend all
of spring quarter in Japan.  You should be able to take some classes and
either Japanese 103 or a special conversational version of Japanese 101,
both taught by resident Japanese teacher Tachibana-sensei (she's also our
club advisor).
Informational Meeting:

Tuesday, Nov 28, 11am-12
03-209 (business building)

Go even if you are just interested, opportunities like this don't come
very often!


T shirt contest - I saw a bunch of really cool designs on the front table
last week, I wish we had the money to put all of them on shirts.
Unfortunately reality gets in the way of anime once in a while; that's
why we have contests.  This years T-shirt design contest will be on our
last meeting of the quarter (also our next meeting), 12/2.  So spend this
break perfecting your drawings and have them all ready for 12/2.


DVD Player - For the last year we have been showing titles from DVD
whenever available.  This is because we get better picture, sound and we
like technology ^_^ (just ask anyone who watched Lain last year).
However, as a club we do not have a player; we have been using Ben's
player.  But, come spring quarter our dignified president will be in
Japan leaving us short a player.  So instead of cutting meeting hours by a
lot or restricting ourselves to stuff we have on tape I propose that the
club gets a player.  I have done some research on the net and a player
suitable for our purposes (Region-free, Macromedia vision-free) will cost
us at least $350.  As was mentioned previously we don't have the limitless
funds that we would like to have, so we need to seek alternate forms of
income.  Thus I'm asking everyone in the club to put aside a donation to
the "MNA DVD Player Foundation" or "NAVI" (mNA dVd player foundatIon).
Any donation will help get us a good player.  If we get around $500
together we can get a REALLY nice player, and that would be sweet.  So
take $10 from your Xmas money and put it aside for the club that gives you
Nuriko, Yahiko and Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV.  More details to
come.


That's all for now, have a fun break.

Sincerely,

Dylan Hall
Fukukaichou (VP)

MNA - Reminders and MNM

(Minna No Anime, Mon Nov 27 13:15:20 2000)
Welcome back from break everyone!

I hope you all had good breaks and are ready for finals.  I would like to
say "omedetou" (congratulations) to Abhay and any other graduating 
members.

Reminders:

Spring quarter in Japan informational meeting -
When: Tuesday (tomorrow) Nov 28, 11am
Where: 03-209 (Business Building)


T-shirts - 
Contest this week! Bring what you've got and be prepared for a showdown.
Long live the skewer rat!

Fukukaichou's note - I want to see a shirt with a bunch of really bad
Japanese puns on it.


Fanime 2001 - 
If you want to go to Fanime this Spring break and want to pay a little
less (10% discount) bring your $35 to this week's MNM or MNA.  It's during
the last weekend of spring break, so no excuse for skipping out (even if
you are in Japan at the time).


Club notes - 
There will be meetings of both MNM and MNA during normal hours this week.

MNM -
No lesson this week.  Bring in what you've got, because it'll be our last
meeting for 6 weeks.


Don't be an Usagi-chan this dead week, or in the name of the moon I shall
punish you!

Take care,

Dylan Hall
Fukukaichou (VP)
www.calpoly.edu/~minnclub

MNA Meeting 12/2

(Minna No Anime, Thu Nov 30 12:14:14 2000)
Once again reminders:
Tshirt contest this week (Bring your designs)!
Bring your money for Fanime Con ($31.50).

5:00  FLCL #3
5:25  Maison Ikkoku #whatever

10 Minute Break - What do you think: Godai and Haruko as a couple?
Maybe not.

6:00  Slayers #10 - JACKPOT! The Great Life or Death Gamble!
6:25  Lodoss TV #10 - Recovery - A Mission Assigned

10 Minute Break - Ashram's worst nightmare: Parn hires Lina as a

7:00  Cowboy Bebop #10 - Ganymede Elegy
7:25  Kenshin #61 - Juppon Gatana. Choice of Life!

10 Minute Break - It's over!  Finally Shishio is down for the count, burnt
to a crisp, yadda yadda...  or is it???  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
(Sandoraaaaaaaaaaaa  Note: this thought brought to you by ADV, bringers
of Excel Saga if we live long enough to see it in Region 1)

8:00  Houhokekyo Tonari no Yamada-kun (My Neighbors the Yamadas - The new
Ghibli Release, straight out of Japan with subtitles...  released 2 weeks 
ago.  Mmmmmmm  fresh anime for visual consumption.)

Sailor Fukukaichou says: I hate you CDJapan, taking my money so easily.
Wait, I can't stay mad at you.

Matt Sez:  Sailor Fuku is lucky to have income just for being a student...
He is also lucky to have outgo just for being an Otaku...

Last Shameless Webpage Plug of the quarter/year, we know yer gonna miss

Winter 2001

MNA - Super Happy Fun Reminders!!!

(Minna No Anime, Thu Jan  4 13:53:58 2001)
Konichiwa Minna-san,

I hope you've all been having a nice break from school and have been
missing waiting for school to start up again so we can all go back to our
weekly Saturday anime binges.

So here's the notices and such...

Club DVD player - We'll be collection donations for a club player (so we
can stop borrowing Ben's player) for the first couple of weekends winter
quarter.  So, if you have $5 to $50 (or any amount) that you'd like to
donate to us so that we can get our own player it'll be greatly
appreciated.  Of course the player we get will be Macrovision-free and
Region-free so that we can continue to show the newest, coolest stuff in
the world of anime.

Meetings - Our first meeting will be Saturday January 13 from 5 to 10pm
(same as last quarter).  We'll be continuing the regular series (Rayearth,
Bebop, Lodoss, Kenshin, Slayers, Utena, Maison Ikkoku, Fushigi Yuugi) and
finishing FLCL (as it comes out) showing Kodocha as it's available and
showing the OVA "Please Save My Earth".  We'll probably also be showing
some "Turn 'A' Gundam" and "Here and There, Now and Then".  Unfortunately
Utena will be ending this quarter,  I'll make sure we keep showing
interesting, different anime even without the End of the World. 
Minna no Manga will probably start up on Jan 16, so keep up on that Kana.

Other News and Fun - I went to Japan town, in San Francisco, last Saturday
and spent far too much money on far too many cool imports (although I did
manage to hold off on buying the Gundam movie DVD's... for now).  I highly
recommend that everyone watch some UC Gundam (not Wing, or X, or Turn 'A')
it's really great stuff.  I also suggest that everyone pick up a copy of
Kenshin manga books 17 - 28 and either learn Japanese or read along with
a translation (there are a few online and one of our members is doing his
own translation). The end of the manga is even better than the Shishio
saga, really great stuff.


That's enough rambling from me, for now.

Mata ne,
Dylan Hall

Konnichiwa minna-san,


This weeks delectible diet includes a modest serving of Minna no Manga
followed by gourging proportions of Minna no Anime.

We will actually be restarting our work on Katakana (The Japanese alphabet
used to write forign (which are mostly American) words).  Ben-sensei will
be there as his health has been improving over the last week.

Other than that, bring all your translations, new manga and other fun
stuff that has lots of kanji in it (we can always do more fan translations
of "panty high school").

When: Tuesday, 7-10pm
Where: bldg 14-246
What: MNM, bring pen/cil, paper, books


We also often have a couple of people from Japanese class there, so if you
want someone to work with you on class work they'll be there.


Ja ne,

Konbanwa Minna-san,

Tomorrows meeting content: null
Entertainment value: great
Educational value: glorious!

Yes it's time for another meeting of Minna no Manga, where we all get our
weekly dose of kanji (hopefully with furigana).  If anyone needs help
reading or writing I'll do my best or send you to someone who can help
you.


Meeting location: 14-246
date/time: Tuesday, 7pm


Also note that this weekend MNA will be moved into 3-112 (the room we were
in last week).  Yes, yes we know you don't like having to move, but

but it's better than nothing, honestly.

MNA Meeting 2/3

(Minna No Anime, Thu Feb  1 23:37:51 2001)
Thank you all for tolerating the schedule changes last week...  and
hopefully thank you in advance for tolerating the ones for this week.
Yes, you heard me right, we are not going to be in our usual spot, so for
those of you who need to get your weekly anime fix, we will be in 03-112,
same room as last week after the move.

On a happier note, thank you to all of you who contributed to the MNADVD
fund, the 2 of you know who you are...  j/k.  But seriously, thank you.
We nearly had enough through donations alone to buy the player, and the
order is being made as we speak.  Soon we shall be watching all our great
shows (yeah yeah, we are allowed to toot our horns once in a while) on our
new MNADVD Player.  Future generations of rabid otaku will thank you as
well.

On a final note, this week is the last week for t-shirt preorders.  Bring
cash or plastic.  Yes we take plastic, we keep it until you pay us cash.

And now on to your weekly fix:
5:00  Maison Ikkoku #32 - Egg is mystery. Yotsuya's dangerous gift

Japan Trip SOS

(Minna No Anime, Thu Feb  8 17:51:15 2001)
"And now that I have your attention...
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

-Labrat


I don't think that I could have said it any better myself.  As you all
probably know, I, your Minna no Anime president, am planing on taking a
trip to Japan this spring quarter.  Well, unfortunately, we found out this
morning that we just don't have enough people to go yet.

So I'm desperately trying to contact everybody I know and get them to come
along with me.  The deadline for my mission is very soon.  We need to sign
up two or three more people to make the program work.

What are we going to do on this trip?  How much does it cost?  How long is
it?

Well... I'm glad that you asked these questions.  I spent a couple hours
this afternoon compiling all that information into a Word document which I
converted to HTML and stuck on a web site that I've never done anything
with before.  I was planning on making it my on-line Japanese Trip
Journal, but if I can't go, I can't do that!

Anyways, the answer to most of your questions should be at this site plus 
a list of all the really cool stuff we're going to be doing:

http://www.piyo-piyo.org/


It may seem a little expensive, but this is a once in a lifetime
opportunity.  The professors going with us have tried very diligently to
get us the best deal, and there's no way that you could do as much stuff
as we're planning on doing for so little.

Don't worry about your lack of experience with Japanese.  All of the
classes will be taught by Cal Poly professors in English, and the rest you
can pick up as you go. ^_^

Please, think deeply and hard, and most importantly fast!  If you need to,
call your parents tonight, and try and arrange your finances.  Remember,
you can get your financial aide reevaluated for this trip to help you
along.

There are several people from Minna no Anime going, so you will have lots
of friends there to share the glory that will be this trip to Japan.

One more benefit to coming on this trip: I will be your best friend for
life (that's right, life!), and owe you a million favors!  (See how
desperate I am?)  I've been looking forward to this trip for some time now
and will go into a serious depression next quarter if I can't go. ;_;

If you have any more questions, call or email me.  The numbers are on the
web site.

So, for my sake, Tony's sake, Labrat's sake, Tim's sake, and for the sake
of the very stability of Minna no Anime (I cannot be held responsible for
my actions if I am not allowed to go) come join us on a trip and adventure
in Japan this Spring quarter!

MNA Kaichou - MNA President

MNA - Meeting 2/10

(Minna No Anime, Thu Feb  8 19:08:54 2001)
The "Fuku" edition of the MNA letter:
Konbanwa Minna-san,

What a concept, no new news except for the fact that we are having a
giveaway before the Kenshin movie.  Lotsa good stuff, a week you don't
want to miss.  Don't say we never give you anything.

And now, for those it pleases, we proudly present:
Schedule, the weekly email

5:00 Maison Ikkoku #34 - Be pushy for love! Grandma Yukari with gold teeth
5:25 Now and Then, Here and There #1

Break - After a few weeks of old school Lupin we go to a cool new show
from the director of Kodocha (although this show is very different from
Kodocha).  

6:00 Fushigi Yuugi #13 - For the Sake of Love
6:25 MK Rayearth #12 - Fearsome Illusionist Caldina

Break - Ashram vs. Akio: which one wins the title of 'most suave bad guy'

7:00 Lodoss War TV #15 - An Old Enemy... Reunion With the Black Knight
7:25 Shoujo Kakumei Utena #35 - The Love that Budded in Wintertime

Break - Finally the Kenshin movie!  Unfortunately this is the last
appearance Saitou makes in animated Kenshin (except for the OVA's).  I
know, I know; it's just not fair to leave you like that, but it's not my
fault, honestly.

8:00 Rurouni Kenshin Movie: Ishin Shishi e no Requiem (Requiem for the
Ishin Shishi)


Will we have more technical difficulties this week?
Will we watch an ADV dub of Kenshin?
Will Yotsuya give Godai another gift?
Will we only have the silo of part of the night again?
Will 'Welcome to Lodoss Island' present some great philosophical
commentary on the meaning of life?


I hope none of those things happen.

We're really sorry about all the problems we've been having the last
couple of weeks.  We appreciate all your cooperation in moving things back
and forth and not complaining about the small screen and bad sound system.
We're try to keep things in the club as professional as possible, but we
have slipups sometimes too.

Fuku to Matt-kun

Almost forgot...  the weekly website plug:
http://www.calpoly.edu/~minnclub, bet you thought we would forget.

MNA - Library/MNM Meeting

(Minna No Anime, Sun Feb 11 22:56:05 2001)
Konbanwa,

Today's edition is a super-special dual part message.

Part 1: State of the Librarian Address

Our librarian, Paul, will be gone this weekend (as I imagine many of you
will be as well).  But that will not stop the free exchange of tapes.  So
if there are any tapes you want for next week email him at:
freeknight@lodoss.org
and he'll make sure the tapes get to club this weekend.


Part 2: State of the Minna no Manga 

Time: Tuesday, 7pm
Location: 14-246
Activity: Manga translation, sharing, language assistance, what ever else
piques your interest


I'll leave you alone with those tasty morsels to digest.  This weeks Minna
no Anime will be back to the regular schedule.  Only four episodes of
Utena left (sheds tear).

MNA Meeting 2/17

(Minna No Anime, Thu Feb 15 16:34:24 2001)
Thanks to all your donations, this will likely be the last week on the
Apex DVD player.  We should be moving to the shiny new MNADVD player.  I
see technical difficulties on the horizon...

If you missed it last week, we announced that during the last 6 weeks of
spring quarter, we will be showing 2 eps of Trigun in the 5:00 slot.  This
gives all of you a perfect excuse to skip studying for finals to see
"Deep Space Planet Future Gun Action." (with apologies to Nightow and the
publishers bad Engrish)

Schedule
5:00 Maison Ikkoku #34 - Be pushy for love! Grandma Yukari with gold teeth

7:00 Please Save My Earth #3
7:25 Kenshin #66 - Happy Kaoru! Kenshin's Proposal! 

10 Minute Break - The dreaded/anticipated ring ep of Kenshin.  Will he
give up his sword for vows?  Will evil triumph over good?  Or will Kenshin
just say "oro?"

8:00 Lodoss TV #16 - The Holy City. Pursuing a Clue 
8:25 MK Rayearth #13 - The Most Valuable Thing in This World

10 Minute Break - Happy Deedlit! Parn's Proposal! (in her dreams...)

have) because it's time for another meeting of Minna no Manga.

This week's activities, more manga, more "now in English" and Nic comes

Ohayo Minna-san!


Waiting for your weekly dose of bizzare Japanese TV, the latest video game
info, some translation assistance and something to do on Tuesday night?
Then look no further because Minna no Manga is here!  Maybe this week
we'll see more kids trying to sneak in and see thier favorite celebrities?
Perhaps Matt and Nic will talk about video games? Maybe Dylan and Nur will
torment themselves discussing Region 2 DVDs?  Maybe Shane will more
Kenshin read? Maybe Gina will have more doujinshi?  Only one way to find
out...


When: Tuesday, 7pm
Where: 14-246

Well, whaddaya know, no new news.  Lotsta stuff is in progress, but for

MNM - Meeting 3/6

(Minna No Anime, Sun Mar  4 23:55:05 2001)
Konnanichiwa!


It's time for Fuku's weekly rant and rave, also known as the Minna no
Manga newsletter!  This week;s rant:  Why is it that I can't easily output
my Utena movie DVD with subtitles?  This week's rave:  Maison Ikkoku
manga, I love it!  My favorite work by Rumiko Takahashi (Ranma, Urusei
Yatsura, Inu Yasha).  The anime takes quite a few liberties from the
manga, but keeps everything going well, it presents stories that were
never in the manga and gives a different perspective on many of the manga
stories. Plus I love Yotsuya's voice actor.  You should all come at 5 to
watch it, or ask me and borrow my manga.

Now to the official business:

What: Minna no Manga
When: Tuesday, 7pm
Why: Because we love the show "What a cool we are!" and discussing Kenshin
manga

PS - to the MNM regulars; I probably won't make it till late this week, so
have fun without me

MNA Meeting 3/10

(Minna No Anime, Fri Mar  9 01:04:29 2001)
Fuku says- (and I quote) "I have now 3 DVD players in my room, 2 of which
are region free, I am better than you all."
Fuku-san is also not going to be getting sleep due to his procurement of a
Playstation 2 and Tekken Tag.

What this all means to you dear and gentle readers:  1) Sears had a couple
of playstation 2's left after we got ours this evening, so if you want one
and rush, it can be yours for retail price, not ebay markup.
2)If you show up at Fuku-san's room at any time of the day or night, you
will be able to play Tekken Tag.  (PAAAAARTY AT FUKU'S!)

This Week's Lineup:

5:00 Maison Ikkoku #10 - Dangerous costume party! Kyoko's radical change
5:25 Infinite Ryvius #1 - Sucks to your spaceship-mar...

10 Minute Break - Yet another new show this week, hope you like

6:00 Slayers #18 - RETURN! The Red Priest is Back!
6:25 Fushigi Yuugi #17 - The Melody of a Meeting

10 Minute Break - No tentacle monsters or cross dressing this week
folks... hopefully

7:00 Please Save My Earth #6
7:25 Kenshin #69 - The Place of the Battle, Shimabara! Judgement Day of
Who is The Chosen!

10 Minute Break - End of Please Save My Earth this week folks, hope you
enjoyed

8:00 Lodoss TV #19
8:25 Magic Knight Rayearth #16 - A Powerful Foe! Lafarga the Swordmaster

10 Minute Break - Will Neece meet Nephew?  Will Big Mama meet Dota (or
Daughter depending on who you ask)?  SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

9:00 Cowboy Bebop #18 - Speak Like a Child 
9:35 Utena #39 - Someday Shine Together

Yes that was the final episode, and unlike Gekiganger, it didn't move to a
different timeslot and continue for another season unbeknownst to you
(with apologies to Akito).  I will be bringing a shovel with me and those
of us who remain living without more Utena to watch can hold an all night
(or at least what remains of it) vigil in memory of those who couldn't.
BTW, Gina (MNA munnygrubber) says she has dibs on Fuku's Import stuff. =)

-Out

MNA - AX01 / MNM

(Minna No Anime, Mon Mar 12 10:08:24 2001)
Zenryaku Minna-san,

First of all, the AX01 info.  After careful consideration by myself and
Ben we decided that the club will NOT be doing any kind of assistance for
Anime Expo 2001.  This does not mean that you can't talk and work out
arrangements for it during club, just that there will be no official club
assistance in getting tickets, rides or housing.  Sorry for any
inconvenience caused by this.


And now for something completely different...

Minna no Manga - last meeting of the quarter!

We can (hopefully) get our fix of "What a cool we are!"

When: Tuesday 7PM
Where: 14-246
Why: because we don't like studying when there's manga to be read!

It's time for the second two-part newsletter of the day.  This time the
subjects are this Saturday's trip to Tsurugi's and Open House.

Tsurugi's - due to technical difficulties, we lost the sheet of people who
signed up to go this Saturday at noon to Tsurugi's.  Please reply to this
message ASAP if you want to go this Saturday.  Again the information is:

When: Saturday, March 17 - Noon (it's best to get there a little early)
Where: Tsurugi's Japanese Restaurant,  570 Higuera.  (Right next to
Tortilla Flats)
Cost: lunch will run between $10 - $20 depending on what you get, it's all
great food with excellent atmosphere and presentation.
Why: to have a break before finals with your friends at Minna no Anime,
and to eat delicious foods.


Open House:

Open House is right around the corner - Saturday April 21.

We will have the same booth that we had last year (hopefully in a similar
location) and will be running things in approximately the same way as we
did last year.  Additionally we should have a second booth space for more
informational/educational club activities.  We will also be trying to sell
California Rolls this year.  What's this all mean?

It means that we need volunteers!  Yes, you too can help out your fellow
otaku and, hopefully, have some fun while doing it.  We will be selling
our traditional Yakitori (BBQ'd Teriyaki chicken), club tshirts and
California rolls.  This means that we need people to help us prepare all
these foods.

Thankfully, the very nice people over at Tsurugi's will allow us to
infiltrate their professional kitchen and show us how to make California
rolls the correct way.  They will also be providing us with our Teriyaki
sauce.

So if you would like to help out we need people who want to learn how to
make (and eat) California rolls.  We will need you on the following dates
(note that these dates are approximate for now):

April 7 - training session at Tsurugi's to make California rolls
April 19(or 20) - late night prepare the rolls at Tsurugi's to sell at
Open House

We would not specifically require that you come to Open House, but you
might as well enjoy in the fun if you've already put in the hard work.


We will also need as many people as are willing to come and help us at the
booth on Saturday, April 21.  This includes people to make rice, prepare
and BBQ chicken and other activities.  You don't need to stay all day, it
will be helpful even if you can only help for a few hours.

So, if you want to help with either (or both) of those events, or want to
see if there's something else you can do to take up your time please reply
to this message.  Just say what you can do help and it will be
appreciated.


Well, I think I'm done annoying everyone for today.

Back to your regularly scheduled studying and manga reading.

MNA Meeting 3/17

(Minna No Anime, Thu Mar 15 19:23:26 2001)
Tsurugi's - Reminder to those who said they wanted to eat delicious foods
without Lina, be sure to be at Tsurugi's (570 Higuera) a little before
noon on Saturday.


Otherwise, just come to watch the anime.  Finals?  What are those?  You
don't need to study, you just need to watch anime.  =)

Schedule du jour:

5:00 Maison Ikkoku #38 - Godai-kun's lost love? Kozue approaching Mitaka?
5:25 Vandread #1 - If technical difficulties persist, we'll show Turn "A"
Gundam #2...  pray.

10 Minute Break - Is Kozue turning to Mitaka's overwhelming smile, or is
Godai just doing something stupid again? Only time will tell.

6:00 Slayers #19 - SHOCK! Sairaag Falls
6:25 Fushigi Yuugi #18 - A Love Trap

10 Minute Break - We're going to hold a poll at this break:  Who do you
think the most suave character Koyasu Takehito has played is?  (Fuku picks
Touga, Matt counters with Hanagata...)

7:00 Lodoss TV #20 - Counterattack... The Stolen Last Hope
7:25 Kenshin #70 - Impact of Rai Ryuu Sen! Kenshin is Sentenced to the
Dark!

10 Minute Break - Come see Fuku's new haircut thanks to SPE/Sony Visual
deciding not to continue Kenshin through the Revenge Arc and Utena
ending...  it's almost gone...

8:00 Utena Movie - Adolescence Mokushiroku (Adolescence of Utena)

Note:  This will be our first attempt at live subtitling (via Fuku's
computer - heh heh... Fuku and technology... heh) from a import DVD 
(higher quality does not even come close to describing the difference). 
So please bear with us, we hope the final result will be worth our
efforts.

We'll probably also have some music videos on during breaks, so stick
around for the bonus material.

That is all,
Matt to Fuku-san

PS - Sailor Fuku says: "Baka baka" (I've been watching too much Nadesico
lately)

MNA - Fanime Taihen!!

(Minna No Anime, Sat Mar 24 02:10:02 2001)
To everyone attending Fanime:

Anyone wanting contact with the Minna group - for social, housing, rides
and other coordination efforts, we will be meeting at:

Friday
2:00 PM
DDR 4th Mix room (currently scheduled as the "Rutherford" room)

This will be the only time we will try and get everyone together, so be
there if you need to contact someone (or need to be contacted ^_^).

If you don't show up, in the name of the moon, I shall punish you (that's
what I get for watching a 6 hour marathon of Sailor Moon, shame on me (and
Ben)).

Be sure to wear your Minna club shirts at the con!

Hope to see you all there!


Abayo,
