So we had a great meeting in Salem this past weekend, complete with manga swap, AMV and anime viewing, tabletop and console gaming, and cosplayers galore. HUGE thanks to LANIME for their help on this project, and all my good volunteers and staff who showed up EARLY to help out.
About 32 were in attendence for the meeting, up from about 5 at the November meeting. Many more showed up for the festivities afterward. We exchanged a lot of good information on topics such as staff status and requirements, meeting structure, possible future events, the future of AMVs, and state of department affairs. Good information and a good time had by all.
This meeting was what I would consider a great success! There will be many more meeting/events in the future. What I'd like to know is, what did you think? It took a lot more effort to pull this together, so I want to make sure our time is spent well in upcoming meeting planning.
Comments and ideas are welcome. After all, this is your anime convention.
