Greenwood Fall '09 Schedule - 10/2 Start CONFIRMED

[hikarichan78]

Hope you all had an awesome summer! Now that school's back in session, we're looking forward to hanging out with everyone again.

Here is the tentative schedule: PLEASE NOTE that we currently have a room hiccup (see below)

Greenwood Film Society Fall '09 Meeting Schedule
Dates: Weekly on Friday night (10/2, 10/9, 10/16, 10/23, 10/30, 11/6, 11/13, 11/20, 12/4 Thanksgiving Break: NO meeting 11/27, 12/11)
Time: 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM
Location: Sproul 1340
Screenings: Bounen no Xamdou, Toradora, Excel Saga, Eden of the East, Honey and Clover, how could I forget Chi's Sweet Home?!, random Youtube goodness, and more to be announced
Activities: Quarterly LA shopping trip, Halloween Cosplay Contest/Party, Special End of Quarter Party (TBA )

IMPORTANT!: We are currently having a room issue... we requested our regular room for this quarter, and the original request was accepted only to be rejected later on by Academic Scheduling (they have since placed a class in our regular room). El Prez has placed a new room request, but we have yet to hear back from Academic Scheduling. So WE WILL NOT be in our regular room this quarter. As soon as we can acquire a new one, this post will be updated in regards to where this quarter's meetings will be held, and an e-mail sent out to let everyone know. We're crossing our fingers that we will be able to have a meeting this week. So keep an eye out for the news on this thread!


As always, admission is free... so come by and hang out with us again this quarter! And if you're new, the more the merrier! ^_^

Hope we will be able to get together this Friday... ~_^



EDIT 9/30/09: We were approved for a room, whoo hoo! This quarter, we will be meeting in Sproul 1340, which is on the first floor in the northernmost building of the Sproul Complex (there are three interconnected buildings.) For the building location, please see location 523 on the map below:

This building is directly west of Watkins, so not too far from our usual meeting room.

Can't wait to see everyone on Friday!

The line up looks pretty solid and I wish El Prez luck in getting us a stable room.

See you Friday! I hope.....

[Dread Lord {sYn}]

WOOT!!!! It will be nice to see everyone again.

[tenchi0]

So I should come, ya? I remember Sproul 1340... kinda... I remember hauling a giant board around to use as a makeshift table... is it that kinda room?

[Nester05]

If I remember correctly, then yeah it is that kind of room.

[hikarichan78]

Yay! Yep, we'll get to see everyone on Friday! And if you can make it Loven, that would be awesome. I have yet to see your new set o' wheels!

And this room does not require a makeshift table (that was Watkins 1101). Yay for moveable desks! It's a really big room... ^_^

[Prime]

IIRC, that was my go to backup room.

[dreamer]

What?! No hentai night?!

EDIT: Also, can we have a trip sometime to ROYAL-T? Who can resist the maids?!

[carcinos]

Too many underage members; the dark recesses of the room corners are good enough until we start holding meetings at someone's house.

As for Royal-T, I'd like to go there too. It would be a good idea for a third destination for the road trip considering that Power Anime is no longer available.

[dreamer]

Is that what those guys are watching back there on their laptops?

[namtubb]

My bad, I pulled out mine during the break. Otherwise, I really liked the lineup.

[carcinos]

That was only a suggestion, though I am somewhat curious as to what people are looking at on their laptops. I'll have to lurk around and get into whatever action they're having.

At any rate, as a continuation from the spring quarter, I will resume opening the meetings with Vocaloid and Idolmaster videos (that is until enough people lose interest or tolerance and tell me to stop). I refrained from doing it in the first meeting, lest I drive off new members thinking we do nothing but watch YouTube for three hours, but now that everyone is settled in I should be able to do this without alienating anyone.

I will also be throwing in videos of Dream C Club to the mix. This is another XBox 360 game involving pretty ladies in maid uniforms working at a fancy hostess bar. There will be plenty of song and dance to go around, including drunken song and dance which could be interesting to watch. There are some areas of concern, one being the lack of English translations, though I reckon people will enjoy the performances enough to not care what the songs mean. The more pressing concern being the rather prominent breast physics turning off the female members of the audience, but that sort of thing is prevalent in anime anyways.

All in all, its going to be a good time for all, if I say so myself.

[dreamer]

Nah, its all good on the video frontier. Might leave early this week though, not sure yet.

I know I'll be looking forward to this.

hey it's Sarah! I won't be able to make it to club this fall, I have an 8:00 AM class on Saturdays so staying out late Friday isn't possible. I will probably be able to come next quarter/semester, we'll see how that works out
