I wondered what to write about for my first post dealing with something other than saying hello.  I decided that perhaps going over the upcoming events for the club would be a good place to start.

We have a good number of events and happenings coming up.  Besides the meetings on the second and fourth saturdays of every month, the first big happening will be the Tanabata Festival in July.  I believe we are holding it on July 12 to be exact, in Abingdon.  I missed the very first one that the first incarnation of AK held.  There wasn’t one last year, so this year will be the first one this version will have held.  So far, everyone seems to be pitching in and really helping to bring this to fruition.  I can’t wait, it will be my first Tanabata Festival and will be, I’m sure, another great event with these guys.

The next event is the big one….AWA…Anime Weekend Atlanta 14!!  This has been the big event on everyone’s thoughts for the last few months.  I know there has been a few people on the internet,  unhappy with last year’s con, but I loved it!  AWA 13 was my first ever con and I can’t wait for this year’s!  We have a good sized group going this year, a total of twelve people from the club, compared to the six from last year.  This year, I will actually be cosplaying, whereas last year, I was in street dress.  Everyone is really seems excited for the trip, which will be a long, but fun one.  I’m expecting, with double the people, this year’s con will be even better, which doesn’t seem possible with the fun we all had.

Before we can even go to AWA however, we need to do what we can as far as fundraising.  I don’t know how much we will manage out of the fundraising this summer, but I hope it at least makes a dent.  So far we only have one event planned, but maybe we will eventually come up with something to help gather some extra money.

So that is what’s to come over the next few months (now through September).  I hope we get several more awesome events to come.  See everyone at the Tanabata Festival, the fundraising and AWA 14!!!
