Open House
Open House is a time when all the clubs come together to sell food and promote themselves (AKA do very crazy things).
2011-12
This year's theme was Green and Gold Rush. We went with Trigun since it has a cowboy feel, even if it's not Californian.
We plan to dress our new food booth in wanted posters of Minna members, cosplayers, and other things.
2010-11
The booth was dressed up as the Cat Bus from My Neighbor Totoro. The Open House theme was Polywood. Ghibli films are close to Hollywood, right?
2009-10
The booth was going to be Gundam-themed, but there wasn't enough time to dress it. So, we made a cardboard cutout of a Gundam instead. It's beautiful. (deviantART Link)
- First year we won "Best Ethnic Food" for our chicken and rice! SOLD OUT OF ALL OF THEM~
2008-09
The booth was dressed up as the Gurren Lagann to go with the Open House theme.
- Several people cosplayed characters from the anime. Notable: Annaliese Christman as Kamina. THE COOLEST -- Goofanader
- We passed out flyers promoting our club with Gurren Lagann slogans. (deviantART Link)
- We had a Gurren-dan flag. It was beautiful. *makes warbling sounds* -- Goofanader
2007-08
This year's theme was Journey. Not the band, but going on a journey. Or something like that.
Whatever it was, we decided to go with a Bacanno! theme.
Planned Activities:
- Booth to look like the Flying Pussyfoot, a train from Baccano!
- Making a new booth to replace the old, rotting, wooden one.
- Group Bacanno! cosplay.
- Performing the Lucky Star/Thriller dance onstage (also as practice for the competition at Fanime)
- Normal Chicken and rice sale
2006-07
In 2006-07, the officers decided it would be very cool to follow the Open House theme (theme? there's a theme??? since when??)
The theme was: NAUTICAL ADVENTURES (or something like that)
The club will be going all out with a One Piece theme.
Activities:
- A booth re-constructed as the Going Merry.
- En-masse cosplay
- Annaliese's pirate flag/windsock
- Our normal chicken and rice food-for-sale.
