 * FEBRUARY 18, 2009** -  A few new club events were mentioned at the Husson Gamers Club, Friday 12. Possibly peaking the interests of students on campus, including two club trips to Anime Boston and PortCon.

Anime Boston is a large anime convention held on April 2 to 4. Attractions consist of a masquerade; panels sessions, which talk about specific topics such as costume designing or comics; and an anime music video contest. Not only is this event the largest pop culture and anime convention in the entire northeast, but also it is a great way to meet new people.

Anime Boston will host special guest, Nobuo Uemastu, who composed most of the music in Final Fantasy. For further information on Anime Boston visit the website at: [|__http://www.animeboston.com/__]. Another convention, PortCon, is being held in South Portland, Maine on June 24th to the 27th. For more information about this event check out the website at: [|__http://www.portconmaine.com/__].

Gamers will hosting a MiniCon in the near future. A date for the event has not yet been determined, but so far event seems rather appealing to "gamer freaks" of all sorts. Discussion at the meeting indicated the MiniCon will have different panels relevant to what happens in the Gamers Club, such as video games, role-playing games, and other entertaining features.



The Gamers Club meets every Friday for anime night. Some Anime that is showing this semester is: Black Cat, Skip Beat, Adorable Animal Time, Sengoku Basara, Zen Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei, Fate/ Stay Night, Hell Girl, Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, and Paranoia Agent. Gamers Club gets together each semester to have a voting night, in which they select anime they want to feature. Saturdays are dedicated to straight forward gaming all night long. Some of the games that are played include: Munchkin, RPG’s, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Magic: The Gathering.
