[Asianmedia] WELCOME.

[Tristan Athearn-Hess]

OG Asian media signer here:
Good to see you guys still going strong, and good to see you really laying down the law on laptops (it's been an issue since Asian Media started way back in the day). Now for the important bit:

I have the archive of pretty much everything we watched for the first three years. I'll be stopping by for Deathfest, and bringing the archive with me. If you want to see some older stuff and expand your own animu libraries that'll be the time to do it. 

Your Super Ultra OG senpai-

I get out of work at 8, so I'll be a bit late, if my schedule allows me to show up that much. We also show other forms of asian media, and are open to suggestions. I personally like martial arts movies, and would like to screen more of them. Bollywood, drama and other stuff is also up for grabs. We screen between 3-5 shows, and you can drop in for whatever. They go in an order, so you should be able to gauge when you'd like to drop in.
> We are attempting to go to a convention--for the past two years we've taken a trip to Anime Boston. This year, while NYCC would've been fun [its also NYAF so bleh], the time constraints were ridiculous. We may attempt to go to Katsucon this year, but it all depends on a lot of stuff. Planning a con is -A LOT OF FREAKING WORK- and by that I mean MONTHS OF IT. Plus, Katsucon is in Maryland/near it. We'd need a crapton of transport.
> Anyways: We encourage fun, but we do have some rules that are pretty general for screening clubs.

We want meetings to run smoothly and everyone to have fun, and we're your friends but there is a chain of command. Stefan Terry, former signer who left for Japan and is now back is also assisting as an..Assistant Signer dude. He doesn't fill out paperwork, but he knows his shit, has been around for an assload of time and -will be respected-. He's your goddamn senpai.

We get cheese pizza, meaty pizza and veggie pizza with no cheese, usually [for the vegans/lactose intolerants], and if need be we can invest in a gluten free crust if you have an issue that deems it a necessity.

If you master this technique on friday, Lauren won't have to slaughter anyone at Excalibur on Saturday. It's really important to keep order and not have things get messy.
