Hello all,

For those of you who could not make the club meeting this was our clubs Video Game Day.

During Video Game Day Only one person brought a game and game system and we did not get to play any games until the end of the meeting.
Mainly because the members DID NOT bring game systems. So most of the time was spent on just hanging around.

Non of the officers who attended the meetings were happy.

So as the President of DC Anime Club and with the Officers of DC Anime Club decided to no longer have Video Game Day.

For Four years we the Heads of DC Anime Club have told YOU the members that IF YOU DON'T BRING YOUR GAMES AND GAME SYSTEMS THEN WE WON'T PLAY GAMES AND GAME SYSTEMS.
Sadly YOU the members did not get the message over FOUR YEARS so there will no longer be any Video GAME DAYS.

If you want to blam anybody blam yourselves and your fellow club members.

of
the Martin Luthur King,Jr Memorial Library from 12pm-5pm with
a Cosplay Contest, Prizes, raffle, Video Gaming and much more!!!

Here are the rules for the Cosplay Contest by DCAC Cosplay
Coordinator Jonny Gross:

Here are the Cosplay Contest Rules:
1. This competition is open to all who have a costume that is
related to characters or styles from any one of the following
catergories:
Anime
Manga
Video Games
J-Pop/J-Rock
Live-Action Jap. TV and/or Movies
EGL/EGA (Elegant Gothic Lolita/Elegant Gothic Aristocrat)
Japanese Street Fashion

2. If the costume was made by you, you will have a better chance of
winning than someone who bought their costume.

3. You must have a reference photo(s) for your costume.
The DCAC Cosplay Coordinator does not care how popular the series
is, or how well-known the character is. No reference material equals
loss of points towards your score.

4. There will be no biased judging, regardless or age, gender,
religion, etc. ad nauseum.
Even though the DC Anime Club Cosplay Coordinator is a guy, he will
go for the extremely intricate bulky armor cosplayer over the
scantily clad cosplayer.

Decision for Costume Contest winners will be based on four key
things:
Detail- precise workmanship in making the costume as exact as
possible to reference
Flow- how the costume reacts to the wearer while in movement
Effort- time and work placed into making costume or modifying
previously manufactured costume
and
Overall Attitude- dedication to the costume you are in, as far as
making you become the character.


The whole purpose of the Anime Art Show is to promote anime as an art
form.

For those of you who could not attend the meeting this was our clubs Regular Line Up/BYOA:

We watched the following Anime:

Excel Saga
Ramen Fighter Miki
The Third: The Girl with the Blue Eye

We ended the club meeting early due to a lack of Anime DVD's. :(

The folks of ADVFilms are not sending any more anime to anime clubs for a while. :(

So members are going to have to bring anime to watch and let me know what they plan to bring.

We will also talk with the US distributors who are still sending DC Anime Club stuff to hopefully send us more screenings.

We also had an guest who was quite long winded.

Poor Latrice headed for the hills.

Hope your ok Latrice and thanks for the membership cards/DCAC flyers.
