Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

Hey everybody, I know it's late notice but we've got a meeting coming up this Sunday. We'll be watching some more FMA: Brotherhood and Gurren Lagann. Will there be anything else? Maybe. Come and find out. Trivia? Quite possible!

P.S. We'll be in the Children's program room this time because somebody else is using the auditorium. See you there!

Movie Night is back!

Yes folks, that's right, we'll be showing a movie this Thursday night (the 22nd) at 7PM in the auditorium. I've got a little show called "Le Portrait de Petit Cossette", a nice and creepy OVA series which happens to involve murder, possessions, evil spirits, and a weird little girl. Lots of screaming and blood everywhere! In other words, everything you want from a movie for Halloween! Extra snacks for anybody who comes in costume! We'll see you there

Naruto Shippuden on Disney XD

For those of you who have been wondering when and where Shippuden would make its appearance on TV in the US, the answer is the Disney XD channel. Hopefully you get that channel! And if you don't, of course you can watch the streaming subs online a mere day after they are aired in Japan. Read the article for more information.

Big Read: Teen POEster Contest

Hey everybody, I wanted to let you know about a nifty art contest the library is running to go along with this year's Big Read. It's Edgar Allan Poe-themed so you can do lots of cool stuff like skulls, blood, crows and whatnot. Anyway, if you're interested, read the message from Allison below (the Library's diligent Teen Librarian) and the attachment. It'd be awesome for somebody to do some Poe-themed work in anime style.

Hello everyone,To get a jumpstart on the Big Read activities, we started our Teen POEster Contest on Tuesday, September 1. All contest entries will be displayed throughout the library during September and October to promote the Big Read and this year's author, Edgar Allan Poe. I have attached a copy of the entry form and guidelines. Please post these in your teen areas. If you need copies for your teens to pick up, please let me know and I will make sure you get some. The contest ends on Saturday, October 17. Winners will be selected the following Saturday by local graphic artist, Bill Fountain, after his Teen Graphic Novel Workshop on October 24 at Central. Prizes will be awarded to the winners.If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. And thank you for helping promote this year's Big Read. Allison

And here's the entry form.

Director and cast for Evangelion 1.0 announced

Look here for the cast list: Funimation.

Funimation gives an approximate release date of Fall 2009.

I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the first movie when I saw it a few months ago (on the big screen!) and I think that at least so far it's definitely worth watching. So if you get a chance, pick up the dvd when it comes out. I watched it subtitled, of course, so I'm looking forward to seeing the dub when it comes out. There are a lot of well known voice actors involved in this dub, including some of Funimation's usual stars. It should be good.

COSPLAY WORKSHOP!!!

Yes folks, it's that time again! Timed to coincide with the beginning of A-kon, the Irving Anime Club is having its second Annual Cosplay workshop next Thursday (May 28th) in the Central library auditorium (as always). I've got some neat demos lined up, so make sure you make it there! We'll be opening the doors at 6PM this time instead of the usual 7 to give you all more time to work (and play!). We'll be playing a cosplay slideshow in the background to give you inspiration if you need any and listening to some good anime music. Our foam-sword and kimono makers will be displaying their skills once again, plus there will be more mystery guests. There's a real cosplay learning opportunity here. Don't let it pass you by! Don't let the free food and drink pass you by either! If you want to come show off your own costume making skills, by all means come and do it! We'll set you up a table and let you do your thing. For those of you who have an outfit, come show it off. We're going to be filmed for an Irving Community Television show, so I'd appreciate it if some of you made a special effort to show off how cool our club is.
Furthermore, keep in mind that if all of you come in cosplay, James and myself have sworn to crossplay. For those of you who don't know what that is:

Got it? Thursday next week, 6PM, be there or be fail!
