Starting off, JMAGE is happy to announce we welcomed over 50 members yesterday at our first meeting of the Semester. As claimed, this turn out of students is better than the turn out we had last year! Every one mingled and had an enjoyable time before the meeting.
Our officers were introduced to the crowd and the unveiling of the numerous events we attend and supply. This year we will be attending Ohayocon in Columbus, Ohio, and attempting to attend Katsucon in Washington D.C., Maryland. The deadlines for both are in October - Ohayocon is $40 for registration and $60 (of $65 depending on the Hyatt's fees this year) and Katsucon is $50 for registration and is $140 for hotel fees. If you wish to attend these your membership fee of $20 must be paid prior to or at the time of registration/hotel payments. This membership fee will pay for the gas your driver will use to take you to said conventions.
Finally, all members in attendance at the Tuesday meeting were given the chance to vote on a collection of 35 different titles of anime to elect 11 to be thrown into the Grab Bag Showing we will have this Friday. In order, those titles are as follows...
- With 44 votes: Bobo-bo Bo Bo-bobo
- With 43 votes: Saint Young Men
- With 34 votes: Panty & Stocking with Garter Belt
- With 29 votes: Code Geass
- With 29 votes: Psycho Pass
- With 25 votes: Cowboy Bebop
- With 23 votes: Noragami
- With 23 votes: Squid Girl
- With 20 votes: Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei
- With 19 votes: Sakurasou no Pet no Kanojo [Pet Girl]

This Friday - the 29th - we will watch an episode (most likely the first of the series) from each of these 11 anime choices and members who attend the showing will be given the ability to vote on these titles using our 3-2-1 point system. Remember that one must show up to Morton 201 to be able to vote.
At Roundtable...
