This will be the last meetup before A-Kon, so ppl wanting to go and coordinate with each other on that should definitely come. And for those who can't go or don't want to go or whatever...this will most likely be your last chance to hang out with us for that month...except of course for those who are joining our fearless leader for his B-day bash later in the month.

So aside from that, it's more of the usual: discussing quantum physics, chaos theory, social injustice in the third world, the long term effects of a recession in a truly globalized world market, the principles of manifest destiny and their place in a post modern world....y'know that kind of stuff. OR.....i guess we could just talk about anime......AGAIN!!! I mean if....if that's what you guys really want to talk about (sigh).

So you know the rules: Same place...same time as always. Anything I forgot....you know where to post it.

C yas there,

    meh, there's always going to be ppl who would rather watch than talk, and vice versa. C'est la vie.

    Wow, I heard this was only previewing in select markets, but I didn't know Houston was going to be one of them. Man I hope your students don't see this and start getting ideas (lol).

Who attended?

    •  was fun, i like to talk to peeps about the anime. When you watch it either everyone is mad beacuse you are talking about anime or no one talks?? I had fun... looking forward to A-Kon. 
    •  Meh...wasn't bad...

       i met alot of the new members and saw people i hadn't seen since the showing last month and even longer. it was cool. 
    •  Sorry guys if we threw everyone off by meeting in a new spot in the cafe, but hey, at least we were near one of the doors. 
    •  Leting people see anime on your laptop is more fun than just talking about it. As talk about Negima! is not same as Negima. There is Negima Natsu OVA and Gegima Haru OVA For those playing amime files with extension AVI I find GOM Player best. For extension of MKV I use ZOOM player. For Mp4 I use GOM player and for Ogm I use GOM player. I was never able to make good connection with Internet was the only bad thing.

       Wasn't too keen on sitting at the tables off to the side up against the wall, was kind of cramped and started getting a little hot, but had a blast talking with everyone and watching some interesting anime on someone's laptop. 
    •  Jesse's description of Negima as "Harry Potter done right" made me shake my head. He's lucky I was in the middle of another conversation at the time, or there would've been a verbal smackdown!
