NDK issue

Meeting notes:
Planning ensued and was deliberated on by yours truly all by myself.
From NDK ~
Didn’t get to make it this time – yet again.
There is still the FUNimation/Fathom film production movies for Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th in the evening at 7:30 pm to be getting on with. Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles and Full Metal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shambala!
Also the big meet – up event and skull session for the proposed convention and Christmas/Winter Solstice/Winter Break party.
I still have loads of goodies to give away and I have to still meet the famous and talented Chris B for a one on one interview with one of two great cosplayers – herself and Kagina!
Online should get a well worded and timely convention revue of NDK from Dave – we hope ^_~.
Until next time anime fandom * bow *
Sayonara!

Harry Potter Meet Up groups # 20 and #208
 Group #20:
Panera Bread hosted Groups # 20 and TCG group # 1.  Much discussion was off topic but we did get the idea in our heads going about a convention of sorts for Harry Potter. Official time, dates and guests if any weren’t touched on but we did start the think tank process on it.  I am going to do some research on  local advertising down here as for place…that’s another look into situation we’ll get with one of these days. We shall also consort with Denver and get ideas from them on who to contact for information and such.  Also I did finally get a chance to meet the illustrious Kagina aka Christina (SP?). She is a delightful person, full of energy and creativity; a true Potter and anime fan!
I highly recommend the broccoli and cheddar cheese soup along with the french onion – with or sans bread bowl.
Group #208:

4 Lands 05

The amulet Moonshadow, “like I said the mirror is in the Forbidden world, you have to go through the feudal like world first to get to it. As best as I can tell it is in tower on the edge of the Darkholm territory and what is left of the free lands.  The good news is that neither of the two big families knows it is there and the currant residents do not know of it. The bad news is the currant residents are not people friendly, it is the location of the Hells Kitchen who cater to demons and such. The mirror is in their basement, the lowest level. I do not know the lay out, it has been a long time since the Mirror made me. The only occupant that can affect you in a phased state is Basilisk and he is the only one who may be able to sniff you out, his senses go into that state of existence. Um, it would not hurt to get some demon hunters from the feudal lands to help you as long as you pay them.”
      Moonshadow tells Lim this as he heads for the nearest shadow gate in the car. Lim also notices that he is being followed in a dark blue sedan.

Lim shakes his head. “ Amateurs! I'm telling you.” He heads for the nearest building he can find that looks like it’s complex to get around in. He then figures the tail is good enough to give him a 1 and one half minute head start before trying to corner him. He goes into a corridor and disappears quickly leaving a noise trail that sounds like he headed up some stairs. He then heads for the gate and leaves before anyone else tries anything silly.

Dark hammer comes out of the elevator and notices two lovely ladies as guards. He also senses some thing is wrong, and expands his senses to investigate.
Hammer, “ah, they are some kind of robot, what a shame.”
He walks up to them, “I do believe I’m expected.”
Guard one smiles, “right though this door sir, our security scans show you have no weapons.”
Hammer chuckles, “yes, no weapons.”
Ear phone, Lex, “they don’t know you so good, do they.”
Hammer, “and I don’t know them and there are at least six with powers in the room, I can sense it.”
After going though another door dark hammer meets the others and introductions go around. Dark hammer shakes hands, (unless they don’t want to.)
Dark Hammer, “I’m here by accident getting some personnel who have wandered off and my associate’s equipment. They said there were others of like mind in this world and I thought this could open a rare opportunity to share some resources and information or at least start up some kind of trade.”

World 3 feudal:

   Askari, his younger brother Koji and the twin sisters Miko and Niko, are on the road to an estate of one of the wealthiest merchants in the land for her grand ball. Their parents insisted they go as it is an opportunity to get to know others of possible marriage age. With them were Koru and his wife Sil, who where in charge of taking care of these four since they were born and six samurai from the house hold.
Koru, “they could have sent us with something to ride in; my back and legs are killing me.”
    Miko and Niko’s sharp eyesight catches something ahead.
Miko, “there is some commotion up ahead, it looks like a wagon with three people getting harassed be 20 men or at least 6 of the 20. The other is crowded around something else that seems to give them pause.”
Niko smiles and she and her sister get their bows ready, “I do believe they are bandits.”
Askari and Koji look at each other and smile, Askari, “shall we, brother dear?”
Koji, “oh, yes we must keep the roads safe after all.”   

Askari doesn’t look over his shoulder but calls to the twins. “ Make sure you don’t fire until I give the usual signal. Sil, Koru stay here until the danger has passed, which should be in a bout a few seconds or so. “ Askari and Koji split up and head for the two groups of men. The older of the two wastes no time and simply attacks, but makes sure that he doesn’t kill. He knocks out all his opponents before securing the item, whatever it is, and then checks to see if Koji is okay or better yet the bandits and the people they were robbing are in one piece. Koji has a nasty tendency to forget that it’s okay to leave them alive sometimes. Askari will then see to the victims and then interrogate the leader to see how long he or she was operating in this area

Editors notes:

Well folks it’s that time again. NDK is coming up and people are claming up over how they are going to this event or if they are interested.  I shouldn’t be surprised. Even RMF had its share of problems finding folks to get organized who wanted to go so it could be more of a group party. Oh well…
On another note I do finally have one of he prizes for the big Trivia challenge ~ unless CoSp decides not to participate or Denver makes the same decision (shame if they do really as prizes normally would get anyone from either coast coming with bells on!) ~  .
This prize, prior to the one for December’s big party, is a Peach Girl pack with the fist volume of both the manga and the dvd and a carry all bag with an art box. I'm debating what I might do for the other prizes and if I want to put that much into this project as my hands are full with the Harry Potter Christmas/Winter Solstice/Winter break party which looks to be a really big event and lots of fun too! However, there is the election in November and we need a new president or one that can devote time accordingly to certain projects. I have a couple of candidates in mind but am looking to be sure.
I have stated that I will be devoting less time to the club and more to getting things done where I am with the house so I can move in due time. ~ yeah, I can hear the celebrating already “ Thank God the old codger is leaving!” or something to that affect.
I wouldn’t be half as cranky if I wasn’t as disappointed in the local fandom.
Let’s face it, nothing is truly free anymore and you can’t  keep an overblown sense of entitlement forever. We all have to participate in some fashion in order to make things work – keeping quiet says/does nothing and criticism only destroys and never really creates.  
So now what do you do? Don’t over fill your schedules, try to keep to things you are willing to devote your time and energy to and figure out what you really want to do and what makes you happy? Yup, in a word, that’s precisely right. Groups need group effort to stay alive – that’s why I like the Harry Potter bunch, everyone gets involved at one point or another and you can’t help but feel the energy of inspiration in the air and all around you as you really feel like you want to do something to make or keep things fun and not sit on the sidelines.  ~ Thanks to Nikki for helping remember that lesson!  I had almost forgotten what manic energy in a really positive way could feel like.
It always seems like I'm ranting with these editorials these days. Maybe it’s because I'm older and was raised differently but I can’t help but feel that it’s a crying shame and pity that so many talented folk can’t find it within themselves to want to do more and be more creative. To help out and make the groups that are already in existence better or present more options. Also to communicate those options clearly and with the desire to be understood instead of all the guess work. Why join up to anything if you aren’t prepared to speak in your own voice and communicate your wishes and your ideas? Karma is part farming and part sharing. If you want something you find others whose goals are similar and help them. You have knowledge and they have knowledge. Together you create new knowledge and understanding and make the idea or concept grow and make your goals that much closer to being achieved.
No one can do it alone, no one.

That’s my 2 pence worth and I'm sticking to it…

Peace Out
