Wednesday's party was a big success! A good team effort pulled into organizing this by all the clubs... although the environmental club ditched us and left us to clean the mess at the end.
I really wanted to put the emphasis on the video game tournament and the anime screening. Unfortunately for the screening, we didnt get the huge screen the theater offered. Also, the DVD player we used the DVD on sucked.. really bad. Thats why some parts of the anime got cut off at random times. If you were wondering what we were showing, its Lucky Star. Its a pretty interesting and funny anime to watch but there are alot of references in there that many people probably didnt get. I especially liked episode 12 since it mirrors some of the things we did at Anime Boston.
The video game tournament went pretty smooth. The SSBM tournament could have been better since it took forever to get round 1 done. The main problem was getting the people to play. Not only that, the people who won never reported it to the booth so they were surprised that they didnt get in the next round.
We will try to organize both the Halo 3 and SSBM tourney better than before. The problem was that we didnt expect to get such a huge number of people participating. In fact, the video game tournaments went so well that we are planning more tournaments in the future. Back then the only tournaments were done in the Halloween/Christmas party and the End-of-the-Year party. The thing is, we didnt have any tournaments in the past 2 years! I really felt that the video game tournament is a good way to get people together so we were seriously bent on making it possible.
The art contest went pretty well. The only problem is that not much people knew there was an art contest. We barely got any word around in school and there were no announcements made about it. Hopefully we get to advertise the next art contest better than we did for this one. The quality of the art we got was great and I hope we get more from other artists out there.
Now might be the time your wondering about who won. Whats funny is that seniors dominated all the contests. I know there were a number of very good people in the Halo tournament but they ended up having to go in the middle of it. Hopefully they get to stay in the next tournament.
Winners are..
SSBM
1st Paulo Talion (12)
2nd Chris Marino (12)
3rd Mike Chang (10)
Halo 3
1st Brian Murphy (12)
2nd Andrew Pedicino (12)
3rd Lance (..?) (?)
Art Contest
1st Dorina (..?) (12)
2nd Naaila Hassan (11)
Correct me if Im wrong on any of them. I know the results for SSBM since I won in it. Not so sure in Halo though.
Feel free to comment in on the party and add your suggestions in the shoutbox on how to make it better. We are always looking for ways on how to improve it and your input would really help.
As for screenings, we will start having them soon so check out the blog for info on what anime we are going to screen. Again, feel free to give us ideas on which anime we should screen. Use the shoutbox or talk to us in school.
On other news... today is the finals for Saimoe 2007 with Rika vs Nagi. I encourage you to vote for which one you think deserves 1st place for being the most moe. This is probably going to affect which anime we are going to screen also so get a good start by knowing a little bit about the shows where Rika and Nagi come from.

For Halo, it was Andrew Pedicino in 2nd place. And Naaila got second in the art contest, but I don't remember there being a 3rd place for that.
It was pretty freakin fun regardless. definitely hoping for another soon. also, whats the word on the laser tag/movie thing? I heard Mr. Dougherty ( speling check?) say something about that.
btw this is Eric Rodriguez for anyone wondering who I am
Woot! Grats to Naaila on winning. Oh oh, let's scan the pictures pf the winners and post them on the blog. xD Mainly so I can see...since I missed it. But it's also a good idea. =)
The party turned out great. Despite the problems with it having to be moved to the caf, I'd say it was handled well and the turnout was a lot of people despite that.
We need some DDR for the next party though; to attract some girls to the whole thing. But the place was actually crowded and I was happy to see people in actualy costumes. We should've had a costume contest and put up posters, that would be something people would really look forward to. Let's try and do that for next year.
I have the pictures right now and I will give it to the Grape for scanning ASAP
I think naaila's idea is really good. The whole thing about a costume contest. Causeeee, there were people who were in actual costumes and they should have some kind of reward. It'll be funnnnn. =)
about a costume contest, I would participate but I probably wouldn't be able to fit my costume in my locker or anything :(.
