Committee Updates

GIANT SHURIKEN!

First, why don’t we start off the day with some shameless plugs? Thomas Hammer Coffee, in the Northtown Mall, thank you for being awesome. This is where we ended up having our committee meeting. We basically invaded a corner of the store and they were supa cool to put up with us. Okay, that is out of the way… Wait! Hammer Coffee! Okay, all better…

Anyways, we talked about all kinds of cool stuff at our committee meeting yesterday, most of which is top secret, but we will be keeping the cat as the mascot. However, there will be some cool stuff to come in regards to it, like contests for which you can win PRIZES!

K, so anyway, coming sometime next week is a contest that we’re very excited about, for it is a fundraiser. Basically you write some poetry, pay 3 dollars, submit your poetry, and the winners will be chosen! Then there will be an awards ceremony, perhaps at coffee social? We’re not quite sure yet, but we’ve been talking about it and you’ll know when we do.

Other than that, there’s been a lot of talk about programming for the con, and let me tell you, it will be pretty hard core. First of all, panels… SO MUCH PANELS! (it’s bad grammar I know, but the nerds, they lovez it. XD) A panel is a thing where you sit down and talk about a particular topic with someone who’s an expert on it. I for one will be running a panel on MECHA, so be there or be square. Anime theater will be back, dancing (with better music) will be back… other things, which are awesome, will be top secret! So you have to be there if you want to know what they are.

So anyway, we’re (or at least Sarah and I) will be shooting little webisode things, so watch out for those. They will be sweet. If you have a webisode idea, you should totally tell me about it and maybe we can help you put it together.

Also, before I go, one thing I forgot to mention earlier, obviously watch the website for all the intense details on this upcoming poetry contest, like rules and stuff. Also, one last thing, apart from doing submissions online via email and paypal, we will also be taking submissions at the Comic Book Shop’s two locations in the Northtown Mall (where all the manga is) and at their North Division location, the cross street there being Sinto.. I think it’s near Indiana… Anyway, if you can’t pay online, submit there and stick your three dollars in an envelope! Now get to writing!
