Manga Book Club Meeting, 8/8/2009

Well, we're still trying to come up with the best procedure for streaming the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood episodes from the computer through the projector. We are getting better--we watched two episodes this past week. The next episode is the one with Nina and Alexander (sniff, sniff.)

While we were waiting for the episodes to fill the buffer so we could watch without hiccups and interruptions, we watched some other short videos--like the Potter Puppet Pals "The Mysterious Ticking Noise" which I think is the most clever of the videos that Neil Cicierega has done.

BTW, we are in the planning process for a new program starting in January for 6th grade and up called "Get in the Game." It would be on alternating Thursdays at 4:00 or 4:30. We are looking at getting the proper equipment for Dance Dance Revolution, and have discussed board games like Monopoly, Clue, or Trivial Pursuit. I'd like some input from you guys as to the sort of things you'd like to see--board games, video games, or something else. (And before you ask, we will probably not be getting any shoot-em-up or Grand Theft Auto type games. DDR and Guitar Hero are much more our style.

Anyway, our next meeting will be on Saturday, August 8, from 4:00-6:00. We'll talk about manga, or possible games, or maybe just have a bit of silly chaos like we did last time, and then watch a couple of episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood--three if we're lucky.

What: Manga Book Club
When: Saturday, August 8, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.
Where: Mesquite North Branch Library, 2600 Oates Dr.
