The 5th Biannual Animarathon sponsored by the Purdue Animation Club was
yet another milestone in the exponential growth of our Student Organization.

Ben said it was a success, but don't you have to make money to be successful?

But I guess if attendance was steady until 3am and two dozen people REFUSED
to leave at 5am, then it was a success in terms of our goal of bringing
anime to the people.

Next time I won't think of so many great things to show... :)

It was also a success in that the administration of the residence hall 
in which we hold meetings allowed us to permit women to remain in the 
attic theater after normal guest hours expired (12:30 am, females are required
to leave male dorms/buildings/wings and vice versa, campus wide), thanks
to the charisma and reasoning powers of our President John.

Here is the list of what we showed (from memory, so the order may not be 
accurate):

Maison Ikkoku TV eps 15 and 16
Project A-ko 3
Bubblegum Crisis OVA 1
Urusei Yatsura Movie: Only You
Dragonball English Special
Prefectural Earth Defense Force High School
City Hunter Movie: Magnum of Love and Destiny
Rumic World: Supergal
Assemble Insert I
Video Girl Ai I

... and for those die-hards at 5:30 am, Dynaman: Spunky the Wonder Squid.

I had to disappoint several members who asked if we had any more VGAi, 
explaining that, according to our source of subbed anime, the Dallas Operator
7G is not willing to distribute any more episodes, at least not wider than
whatever little clique of his exists down South.

*** A word of warning to DO7G: I hold no hostility towards you, but if you 
    ever visit Indiana, be careful where you crash, because there's quite
    a few country boys up here who want to have a word with you... :) ***

The monotony was periodically broken up by clips from Robot Carnival and the
following music videos:

"Girlfriend" 				Matthew Sweet/Cobra
"I've Been Waiting"			Matthew Sweet/UY
"Slime Creatures from Outer Space"	Weird Al/various
"Christmas at Ground Zero"		Weird Al/various
"The End of the World as We Know It"	REM/Macross, Gundam, various
"Nagisa Bonita"				Madonna Janai/Iczer One
"Kittens Got Claws"			Whitesnake/Ranma 1/2 (Shampu-chan!)
"Hair"					Unknown/various
"Shot in the Dark"			Ozzy Osbourne/Supernatural Beast City

ObNote: I mentioned we'd never show that movie because "some scenes may be
offensive to some viewers.." a mandatory precaution due to increased female
attendance, after which several friends approached me and said "why?"

I may have left some out, it was a long night.. *_*

13 people entered the Souichiro-san Impersonation Contest, the brain child
of Pres John; the runner-up receiveda six-pack of Jolt Cola to get him through
the rest of the night, and the winner received his own siw pack, a bag of 
chips, and a "BEWARE OF THE DOG" sign...

The worst impersonator was given Ryan's copy of Streamline's 3x3 Eyes...


<insert cute pink-haired girl's voice>

Joo dan desu...
(we'd never do THAT to anyone... :) )

This Animarathon was graced by the highest number attendees, the longest
time-elapsed, and the highest number of survivors (people who stayed till the
end) in the short history of the PAC.

Also, most number of pop cans on the floor afterwards, most number of chairs
requiring rearrangement..... :)

"I fell in love with this Shojo
 When I saw her naked bod in the Iczer-pod.."


to which I explained a few such scenes, to which they replied, "so?"
