Restaurant Trip Update

Hello everyone!

As previous updates have explained, on November 22 we will be making a trip to Columbus to eat at Sushiko. Our reservation is for 26 people at 12:30 pm.

On Facebook, we have a document that will allow you to put yourself in a car for the trip. Departure times will depend on the driver of said vehicle. If you do not put yourself in a car then you will not be given a ride - it is your responsibility.

On that note. I have contacted the manager of the restaurant personally and we have discussed the terms of having a large group in his establishment. He has asked that we pay by table and not per person - this is simply a convenience factor for their business. So I ask that everyone bring cash to pay for their meals or work out payment with those you plan on sitting with (someone pays with their card and others pay said person back, etc. This entirely depends on the people you will be sitting with).

And secondly, the manager has also given me his personal email and has requested we send in everyone's orders to him the day before so they can prepare things shortly before everyone's arrival. I will open up a document on the facebook for everyone to access and record their required amount of raw fish and tempura and soup.

I can't wait for the day to get here when we get together! See everyone soon!

Update from the Tuesday Meeting

If you missed the meeting Tuesday here's a quick update one what we discussed.

The picnic/Saturday Social is set for April 12th at the moment, starting at 5 PM. It will be potluck style and the document will be available on the Facebook for you to add what you will be bringing. We will be grilling out at the West State Street ball field back behind the University Commons and behind Larry's Dawg House (do not worry. It is about a 25 minute walk from campus).

The list of what is being brought so far is as follows:
Hannah Yinger = buns!!
Maddie Stricklin = Homemade Sugar cookies

There are some upcoming events through OU that the club may take a part in - once that is decided, we will update you!

Also, tomorrow night at 7:00 PM at the Memorial Auditorium there will be a Tao: Pheonix Rising Taiko drum concert. It costs $12 for OU Students to get in at the door and it looks to be a great show. Ali and myself will be going so feel free to join us!

See everyone tomorrow at the showing

Week 7 Meeting Information

Welcome to the week before Spring Break, everyone! If you didn't make it to the meeting today, this is what we went over... ~ Photos from the Saturday social will be posted to the website, but they will be posted to the Facebook with the disclaimer of "tag yourself at your own risk." I will upload them within the week. ~ JCon poker night! We're trying to bring it back ~ "All praise the helix fossil!" is written in the Bentley Hall bathrooms (specifically men's room) ~ The quote "Everyone in this room is white" before someone pointed out that was false - there was one Kuwaiti in the room. Everyone clapped. ~ Friday Social from 6 to 10 PM as a final hangout before everyone heads out for break. Come hang out with us! :) Roundtable: - "Do Dogs Have Brains" from YouTube - "What Are This" from YouTube

Update: February 20, 2014

I waited to update everyone because a lot of the things that we have been doing are all similar in taste from the last few Tuesday meetings. To make it easier on all of you I wanted to update you all at once rather than put it into thirds and make it confusing.

Last week we reviewed what we wanted to change in the Japanese Connection Constitution. Some of the Easter Eggs within it were changed and the idea of moving the size of the board and jobs of each board member were reviewed, as well as a few clauses were added involving "Damn it, Jimmy/Rico" and the calling of a member who has attended for the most years "Uncle". We also thought to add a clause stating that a certain someone cannot play Mario Party unless personally asked to take care of someone who's on a bit of an obnoxious winning streak.

This week we put everything to a vote.

1. Librarian Title has been removed from the Board; Board is now 5 member large
2. Public Relations has been changed to "Scribe" and the duties have been shuffled, removed and added
3. "Damn it, Jimmy" and/or "Damn it, Rico" are to be said when anyone or anything does something wrong
4. Jacob is not allowed to play Mario Party unless the club deems it necessary
5. Vice President is in charge of the Prize Bin
6. Stonecocks is now Ironcocks

Also on the agenda for the week after Spring Break (March 3 through March 7) are elections. So far, the people running for positions are as follows...

President:
  ~ Samantha Faris

Vice President:
  ~ Pancake Syrup [inside joke]
  ~ Matthew Scottie Luhn

Treasurer:
  ~ Alison Smith
  ~ Jimmy Bulow

Scribe:
  ~ Maddie Stricklin
  ~ Ryan Brown

Webmaster:
  ~ Luke Oleksiak
  ~ Hannah Yinger

These are subject to change within the week as people can nominate others at the next Tuesday meeting or they can drop their nomination if they no longer wish to run. Voting will ensue on March 11.

In other news - and to move onto something more exciting - there will be a Saturday Social this weekend (February 22) from 5 to 11. The time ending is more of a question rather than a statement seeing as we usually run over and there are plenty of events planned. It will be held in Morton 235, just like the Friday Showings. The schedule looks something like this:

5-11 in Morton 235

Game Systems @ 5/5:15
   w/ Maddie, Ryan & Jimmy
Psyduck, Psyduck, Slowbro @ 5/5:15
   [During Video game play]
   *Online game of Cards Against Humanity may ensue*
Blank vs. Blank @ 6:45 PM
   w/ Luke, Fajer & Ali
Tristan's GlopGlop Fanfic Game @ 8:15
   w/ Tristan [and other judges if needed]
Jeopardy @ 10 PM
   w/ Jimmy & Ali
"Spring Break Spectacular" -- After Jeopardy w/ Luke & Jimmy

Console Games will range from a variety of Mario games, Just Dance 4, Black Eyed Peas Experience, and more. Games will be explained upon request if any new people arrive and wish to partake in our shenanigans.

And lastly, a final tally was taken for those who wish to go to Midoricon 2.5 on March 29 and March 30. Hope everyone who goes has a great time!

Long post is long. But no worries. It's over.

Kudos and see you guys Friday.
