| Today, 6pm-9pm, SEM II B1105! Help us decide what to show next year! (Also, free popcorn!) |
[02 Mar 2010|04:26pm] |
Don’t forget, our annual meeting to decide on what DVDs to ask the S&A board to purchase for us, and to figure out what would be a good night to reserve the projectors for, is… today! Basically, we'll be showing the intros to all of the shows suggested so far, there'll be a brief description, and then a vote.
Can’t make it, but still want to be heard? We’ve put up an online survey asking basically the same questions. (Please show up if you can, though! ^_^; ) As always, plenty of free popcorn.
Hope to see you all there!

| Two new shows for Winter quarter |
[04 Jan 2010|09:35am] |
The first G.R.A.S. meeting of Winter quarter will be tomorrow at 6pm in Sem II B1105. We'll be continuing Ouran High School Host Club, and starting two new shows, Planetes and Welcome to the NHK. As always, free popcorn. ^_^
Hope to see you there!

| Last Exile marathon, tomorrow! (free popcorn!) |
[11 Dec 2009|11:17am] |
We've only got a few more episodes to go in Last Exile, so Kent and I thought we'd just finish them up. That way we can start with two fresh shows for Winter quarter.
So, marathon! ^_^
The timeframe will be roughly the same as our normal Saturday meetings, 2-4pm, maybe a bit longer. In the HCC as usual. I think we have 6 episodes left. Free popcorn, as always, and a good time to do your laundry. ^_^;

| Anime Con! Evergreen! This Saturday! Free! (In case you didn't know...) |
[19 Feb 2009|09:21am] |
Saturday, Feb. 21st, 10am to 11pm. Great shows, great times. The Evergreen Gaming Guild is also running a room, packed with Eurogames and one-shot RPGs if that tickles your fancy, and the SVGA is doing... something?
All things you cool cats have heard before, I'm sure, but if not, check the website! Particularly useful is the Schedule.
Tell your friends? ^_^;;

Not like anyone else is concerned with it, but I am cause I live in the PNW and know how dark/cold it gets and am (way more) paranoid about walking from the CAB back to the dorms...
So is there anyone else perhaps willing to go around for the anime club at it's times? I mean it's already getting dark at 4:30, and by 5pm it's pretty dark. Aside from being sick, the darkness and having no one to go with me, is my main reason for not going to any meetings yet.

Hey, guys! I know there's been yammerings about another anime club on campus and all that jazz, and I have official news for you:
The person who was going to start up a separate anime club is actually going to come and merge with us at GRAS to form a totally new, independent anime club called the Evergreen Anime Club. I'm going to be training him in this year and teaching him how we run our showings and ChibiChibi and all that jazz. So yes, in effect, the EAC is GRAS. He's not trying to do anything to spite us or anything like that, he just wasn't sure whether there was going to be a club or not, which is entirely my fault and not his. I contacted him, and we've worked things out really well.
Please come to the first meeting if you can and bring with you a whole bunch of enthusiasm and support. If we get enough interest, we probably won't have to merge at all with the Gaming Guild, making things a lot easier when it comes to be convention time.
The meeting is Wednesday, October 8th at 6pm in the TV Lounge. We'll be talking business for a while, but we're also hopefully going to get to some anime before we're through.
Let me know if you have any questions. Should be a really fun year!

| Another Anime Club? |
[02 Oct 2008|01:54pm] |
Out of curiousity, I was wondering... Are there two anime clubs on campus?
One of the windows of J Dorm has a sign saying "Anime Club" (email: EvergreenAnimeClub@gmail.com). It says they'll be meeting Wed Oct 8 at the CAB building on the 3rd Floor in the TV lounge x.x Spaced on the time, sorry...
But this made me wonder if perhaps this is the "time" for the anime club, or if someone is making a SECOND anime club??
._. And I figured, someone should email them and see about it...
EDIT Got the time. From 6-9pm.

Hey, guys. Thanks for your patience up till this point. I know it's hard when something you love is having issues and you can't do much about it.
GRAS is going to be fine. The reason that I've been so vague up until this point is because I had something I was working on with the Gaming Guild (RPG, tabletop and board game enthusiasts) and I didn't want to mention it until I was sure what I wanted was possible.
I will have the date for our first meeting by tomorrow, as soon as I work it out with the Gaming Guild coordinator. Meanwhile, I need one very important thing before we can continue - two more registered Evergreen students to coordinate with Shen and myself.
This will not necessarily be a permanent position - in fact, it most likely won't extend beyond fall quarter, unless you want it to. I don't have a limit on coordinators, so you are welcome to stick around with us. But I do need two people at least for fall by the end of this week.
If you're at all interested, please email me at gras.tesc@gmail.com.
As soon as we are a registered student group, we are going to be merging with the Gaming Guild, which will make us a funded club with no problems in terms of meeting space, advertising, and so on. I'll explain more later at the first meeting.
Thanks, guys!

| Tom Will Always Be In My Top 8.... |
[28 Sep 2008|05:26pm] |
Funny, cause being at work actually reminded me of this...
So, just about last week or so, Cartoon Network finalled ended its run of Toonami. Toonami has been on for years, and for us older anime fans the start of our obsession. Honestly, I stopped watching Toonami when they took off everything good, and had that Mi-Me-whatever guzi running. I still don't get what Code Lyoko was all about. Still, how did Toonami change your fandom? Were you like me and rushed home everyday to catch the latest episode of the horrible, horrible Sailor Moon dub? Did you watch Outlaw Star just for the endings (Well, no, the show was pretty hardcore too)? Did you actually wake up to WATCH the Rising Sun? Buy the OST to the AMV's with the original mixes (Broken Dreams was my favorite)?
I can't say I miss it being gone, rather than I miss what Toonami used to be. Why did they kill off Tom in the first place? Red ooze? Seriously now. Give him death by Gundam or something.
Edit: Nothing to do with anything, but it sounds like the third Bleach movie is going to be a re-make of the Soul Society arc. Whatever it is, it'll be better than the first one. Second one was good, and this is coming from a non-Hitsugaya fangirl.

Post Number THREE Regarding Meeting Times:
I will post the time of the first meeting when I have it set up. I have to get approval from Student Activities as well as plan things out with one of our other clubs before I can set a time. I have mentioned this several times now.
Also, why is it that everyone is attempting to attend meetings this week when the Fall Quarter does not even start until Monday the 29th? We are a college club, and we meet during college quarters ONLY. Not only that, I am not allowed to advertise ANY kind of meeting or event without prior consent from Student Activities.
Please, please, PLEASE listen to me. I obviously will not schedule our meeting and not post the date and time here! Things have not been worked out in regards to our budget and things like that yet, and I cannot schedule anything until they are. I will try my best to schedule a meeting for next week, but if needs be, we will postpone it one week. We have all quarter to get things settled, guys.
Having the club be a successful working unit is more important than throwing some anime on the TV. Please understand this.
You will all know when our meeting time is as soon as we have one.

A few notes for clarification:
Since the last entry I posted, I've gotten a lot of people concerned about our showings and our budget. I will repeat this again: Our not having a budget does not mean that we will never have a budget or that we are going to lose the club. Many clubs at Evergreen are not funded and still function, incidentally. If there is significant interest in the club and keeping it going, I will apply for a budget as soon as the S&A Board reconvenes, most likely in October.
We do not pay for our meeting space.
The not having a budget is not the issue. The issue is involvement. The issue is interest. I appreciate that many of you are going to be overwhelmed with class and work, but I beg you to remember - so will I. So will Shen. The more people that get involved, the easier it will be to spread the time around, and the less everyone will have to do.
There will be big news at the first meeting. All I ask is that if you're still confused, you come to that first meeting. I'll post the time and place as soon as I have it. And if you can't make it, you can comment on that future entry, just so I know you're interested in the club, and I'll give you all details about what gets discussed as well.
Thanks, guys.

Hi, guys.
Because of the massive lack of interest and volunteering last year in regards to GRAS, I did not apply for a budget for the 2008-2009 school year. It is extremely difficult to run a club when everyone is willing to reap the benefits, but no one wants to donate any time or energy to the cause. I've been coordinating for two and a half years now, and I can promise you, it's an extremely thankless job.
We can have a club next year, we can have showings next year, and we can have ChibiChibiCon next year. All these things are very, very possible. However, those of us who have been doing all of the work for the past several years will not be sharing all the responsibilities on our own.
To sum up - would you like a club? Then YOU get to do something about it! Let us know that you want to volunteer. If no one wants to help arrange ChibiChibi, then there will absolutely not be another con, because I simply do not have it in me to run another one singlehandedly. Showings are not something we simply chuck together in five minutes, either.
I suggest you all consider what I've said very carefully before you leave a comment that contains even the slightest bit of whining or complaining. Again... the way to get GRAS running again? A good attitude and the willingness to volunteer, be a coordinator, give us a small amount of your time, and do what you can.
You have all emotionally drained me to nearly the point of exhaustion. I have run two ChibiChibiCons, and I have had two significant nervous breakdowns in the past two years. Believe me, they are connected. I want very much to have GRAS be a fantastic club again, but I cannot do it without you.
There will be a meeting most likely in the first week of classes to discuss all of this. I will post as soon as I arrange a time. Just because we are not a funded club does not mean that we no longer exist or cannot have meetings. However, if I do not have enough interest at that first meeting, either in person or through e-mail if you aren't able to make the posted time, I will not continue to coordinate, and GRAS will be left to the whims of whomever comes along.
Again, I speak for myself and Shen. A club requires four coordinators to be funded, keep in mind. One person will not be able to run everything. So a very big response will be necessary.
Thanks, guys.

I noticed that GRAS wasn't listed on the Evergreen website, so I emailed the Student Activities folks for the scoop. This is the email I got back:
Hi,
So sorry to say that GRAS does not have a budget this year. As such they have been taken off the website.
We anticipate their return in the fall.
Please check back the 2nd week of class and we will have more definite information.
Kindest Regards,
Nikki G***** | Student Activities CAB 320 | The Evergreen State College | 360.867.6220
So what's going on? Watching fansubs doesn't seem like it would require much of a budget, but what about ChibiChibi Con? Any officers willing to fill me in?

| Schedule, location, time, etc.? |
[14 Aug 2008|09:06pm] |
I noticed the post from last year saying meetings were in the 3rd floor lounge of CAB. Is that the standard meeting place, or are different places reserved every quarter? Same time as before (5pm Wednesdays)?
I know it's another month before the quarter starts, but has anyone tossed around any ideas for the Fall lineup? Always nice to know what to look forward to. :)
