Anime Festival Orlando

[angie]

Though our Fuhrer has some scheduling conflicts and will not make it, Vic Mignogna, Chris Sabat and Aaron Dismuke are going to be there. In light of The Fuhrer's absence, I'd like to see a strong M.S.A. presence there!

I AGREE 100%

We need to get together and plan out a scheme. I will talk to Chris Sabat while he is at Metro and get him on our side and see if he will be game for some dodgeball at AFO.

Sound good to you?

[angie]

I talked to the con chair of AFO about Dodgeball and she said there really isn't any space to have a game. I guess folks tried to have one last year and it didn't work. =P We might have to get creative with some other kind of showdown.

We can make Kev bring you over here since after this week he'll know how to get here. LOL I can't wait to hang out and have some fun. ^_^ There are so many things we can plan and do.

Awesomeness...we need to get together and talk soon about ideas for AFO, Angie.

[angie]

Yes, ma'am! Are you in the Orlando area or are you down in Tampa?

[GenAlley]

Tampa area. Kevin knows where. He's actually got to come back out for another practice session before Metro for our FMA thing. You are welcome to come out with him sometime or we can try to figure something out. I'm on aim or we can talk on lj. We'll figure something out.

[angie]

The organizer of this event asked me to post this for him. Sadly, I will be away at a friend's that weekend.

Call for Teams & Participants
What: Dodgeball Tournament & Cookout
When: Sunday May 28th, 11am - 4pm
Where: Sanlando Park, Altamonte Springs

We are making our own version of “Dodgeball” the movie so we are looking for teams of 6 or individuals who want to participant in a zany funfilled afternoon of mayhem, with a tournament play schedule and a cookout. We'll even have color commentary.

Cosplayers vs. Ninjas? Pirates vs. Gamers?

Show up in costume, if you dare, and guarantee yourself major screen time.

Metro is too soon after that ;_; I'm busy with stuff for it as is but it sounds so fun.
