2/23/10 Minutes - The Meeting That Would Not Die

A long meeting, with lots of stuff to talk about. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention and have no idea what any of it was. Luckily, our secretary was!

Hello Japan Club members!
Yay or nay for today's snow day! :D I know I liked it haha.
Anyway let's get down to business. :)

Thanks to those who came to the Mitsuwa field trip and the Chinese New Years parade!
I hope you guys had a lot of fun!
Just a reminder that Quel did make during the meetings: If you aren't coming and signed up for it, please let us know.

Reminder about bake sales!
March 10th @ 2:30pm-5pm at Richardson
March 31st & April 8th & April 21st @ 10am-4:30pm at Dickson.
I MADE A FORUM FOR THE JAPAN CLUB.
please take the time to tell us if you are helping out at the bake sale by clicking HERE.

on that note i decided to make a temporary forum for the club.
japanc.roflforum.net
hopefully it will make things easier to communicate with everyone.
the thread is opened to guests but lets us know who you are. (and signing up is more appreciated!)
post appropriately! :)

Anyway during the meeting we have talked about MSU's World Fair.
It is on Thursday April 22nd from 12:00pm - 2:00 pm at the Student Center Quad.
We discussed about any ideas for the events.

Also Quel is still accepting people who haven't bought a badge for Anime Next yet.
If you buy the AnimeNext badge yourself, it will cost $42.50 until April 1st.
BUT because we are forming a group, we can get the group discount price for $37.50 :D
Quel has also reserved two rooms at the double tree hotel, for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
So far about half of the spots have been taken. If your interested, find Quel. Best way is to contact her directly at fordr3@mail.montclair.edu or email japanc@gmail.com
In order to claim a spot, you need to give a $10 deposit.

Meanwhile, I was busy whining about how long the meeting was and bothering everyone.
My minutes:

5:00 - Half of the attending members are in the office. I arrive amidst a conversation that both overflows me with a feeling of dignity and a feeling that I don't want to be touched for a few days.

5:20 - Strategically retreating from overwhelming awkwardness, AJ, Jash, Sid and I move up to the meeting room. In place of our usual empty room stood a strange girl, who wasn't actually strange at all aside from being in our room. I skillfully negotiate her to relocate her business elsewhere in a stunning display that witnesses would later recall as "breathtaking."

5:22 - I commandeer the EBoard table to play Yu-Gi-Oh. Sid unsuccessfully flirted with me and Josh while AJ observed our game. We didn't get far before the others from the office arrived, all of whom I skillfully avoided eye contact with. Alas, our game was canceled since the meeting was soon to begin. Matt and Abdul immediately replaced us by playing Magic right next to us, and getting shoved away along with us two minutes later.

FINAL CHAPTER: DESPERATE STRUGGLE

5:30-5:40 - Meeting begins. Quel yells at us.

5:41-6:00 - Quel still yelling at us.

6:05 - I irritate Suz with body language without even saying a word. Mwahaha.

6:12 - I attempt to steal Matt's frat binder about 10 times, and talk about pancakes with Jerry and Dan Z. My efforts against violence towards women are finally recognized, and so are Cherry's damned Peruvian good looks. However, Abdul gained 3 points for saying something I can't actually remember at the moment.

6:18 - Quel tells me she's happy to see me and to shut up.

6:19 - Quel tells me to shut up again.

6:25 - Quel blathers on about some sort of money week cultural bake sale thing. I continue to bother Matt. Someone slams a hammer several times to make us shut up; SPOILER ALERT, doesn't work.

6:40 - We're past the normal ending time and show absolutely no sign of ending soon. Matt leaves. I begin to wonder if the rest of us will ever leave.

7:00 - I become certain we never will.

7:11 - I begin to wonder about the existence of other worlds. Other entire universes beyond the stars we can't see, worlds within ourselves, the true meaning of the order of natu

7:12 - MEETING OVER!

Thank god. The nightmare is finally over.
