ugh... we need money

Alright peoples, we're down to one month, more or less, or ChibiCon2008. The problem is money. Now we need to go and buy stuff. First off, let me make a list of stuff that would be lovely id donated:

Prizes: dvds, t-shirts, etcs cool stuff you dont need or have space for. like the two copies of the same dvd you have

Food stuffs: plastic ware, spoons knives the whole bit. Not to mention any of those cake mixes your moms been hoarding but never using. Non perishable items like coffee, sugar, hot chocolate packets, tea...

Blank DVD cds for us to burn with. We're starting to make our library.

We plan to hopefully have two bake sales before ChibiCon.

Hopefully, other clubs can help us buy stuffs or donate prizes.

We are also looking for any businesses or organizations that want cheap advertising. TokyoJam is set to come out that week, so we are hoping that local businesses will help us fund out event and get some business out of it too.

Tentative prices:
full page = $50
half page = $25
quarter page= $15
eighth page= $10

TokyoJam will be a full color magazine to be available for ChibiCon2008, an event reaching many many people.

We are collecting a pool of funds to help us buy stuff. The SGA will reimburse the money once all the paperwork is done. Anyone who could help us by letting us borrow money would be a great help.

yay for planning

We are laying things down for ChibiCon2008. One of the newer things we are trying is going to be the maid cafe. Food, beverage, and a few other things are going to be at the cafe. Here's a nice tentative list.

• Food
• Candies, such as gummies and pocky
• baked goods, such as cupcakes and cookies
• fruit, washed and cut, such as apples, bananas and good stuff
• maybe cold sandwiches, like bagels, and ham and cheese. probably prewrapped.
• Beverages
• Water
• Tea
• Coffee
• Sodas
• Juice boxes
• those wonderful japanese drinks that go pop...
  
• Stuff
• T-shirts
• glow sticks
• disposable cams?
• maybe trinkets, like cat ears and bells?

The maid cafe might be just a stand behind the counter thing, it really depends on how many maids we get. If your interested in working at the maid cafe, email us. Remember, if your part of staff, you get a free ChibiCon t-shirt. *and maybe a cupcake* ^_^

The date is official!

April 5th is the day for ChibiCon 2008!

We are really looking to make ChibiCon big this year, and so we would like to invite every club, organization, and school within the 50 mile radius. And farther if your willing to come. Anyone who enjoys anime, manga, or just Japan in general should attend. Find us on Facebook or the website.

If you would like to run a panel or workshop, send us an email. We'd like all ideas submitted by March 1st so we have enough time to prepare.

Right now there is talk of a maid cafe and a projector for the showings. ^_^

Want a free tshirt? Join our staff team.

In other news, elections were had. I am the new vice president and Abdul our new treasurer. ^_^ - quel

Nominations and Elections

Alright, I have great news. We will be having nominations and elections on Tuesday. We would like to finish this issue at once, since it has been dragged on for so long. The attorney general will be there to make the election valid, which is why we need your support. Let's get the paperwork out of our way, so we can move onto the good stuff. Planning ChibiCon2008.

Frustrated at 3:00AM

Our website is coming along nicely. Unfortunately, I can't stand the fact I can't do everything I want with the graphics. We use Google for a lot of things, and it makes sense because things are a lot easier with one screen name and password. But since Google's page creator is still in the beginning stages, it's not very developed yet. You have to choose one of their layouts, and frankly they just don't work for me. Please excuse if things look a little off on the website. I'm stuck. I'm no wizard at html, and the basic choices hinder my artistic ways... U_U until Google further develops this a little further, I'm afraid nothing really cool is going to happen. *sigh* -quel
