Hey everyone!

Anime Kurabu will be having meetings again this summer!
Come hang out with us and watch some great anime every Saturday from 6PM to 9PM, starting June 7th. No dues are charged for summer meetings.

A-kon is just 19 days away! For those who don't know, A-kon is an anime convention May 30th - June 1st in Dallas, TX. Let us know in our forums if you're going, so we can arrange a meetup at the con. This is also a great chance to put together carpools, to help with the rising gas prices.

Fun in the sun?! Anime Kurabu is hitting the beach this summer!
On Saturday, July 19th to July 20th, we're going to Mustang Island State Park, just a few miles from Corpus Christi, TX. $25 per person includes transportation, camping fee, meals, snacks, drinks, and more. Space is limited to 8 people, going first to club members. Camping gear is free for UTSA students to check out. If not enrolled, the attendee will need to bring their own sleeping bag and other equipment.
More details to come, sign up at our first summer meeting!

Have a great summer!

New Meetings!
In addition to our weekly meeting, we will have late meetings twice a month.
These meetings will be every 2nd and 4th Friday, from 7PM to 10PM at Joe Momma's Coffee House (http://www.joemommas.biz/), next to the L&M Bookstore.
Viewings at these meetings will be different than our weekly meetings. Rather than viewing a few whole series over the course of the semester, these meetings will focus on showing only a few episodes of many different shows, changing each meeting. These meetings are open to everyone, and we encourage members to bring guests.
