Mon, 23 Jan '12: Line sitting was so much better...
The Planning MMeeting took place a few days ago and we wound up with a pretty solid schedule. Go check it out over on the schedule page. Other than that, we have our reservations lined up for this semester. The first meeting of the semester will be January 31, so in about a week. Unfortunately Hamilton 100 was stolen right from under our noses, so we will be in Gardner 105 for a majority of the semester. There are two other patchy dates I have to take care of, but for the most part we'll be in Gardner 105. See everyone next Tuesday!

Thu, 19 Jan '12: Everything is so different in the future
Happy New Year to the 10 of you that read these updates! The Christmas Party was nice, lots of food and hanging out and whatnot. I'll try to aggregate some picture and put them up on the events page in a bit. In other news our Spring Planning Meeting will be this upcoming Saturday the 21st in New West 219. We'll be picking the shows for the rest of the semester, so try not to miss it.

Thu, 01 Dec '11: "insert witty holiday-themed update title"
Oh hey I haven't updated in forever, as usual! A buncha stuff happened this semester. We just finished our last meeting of the semester and everything wrapped up quite nicely. In case you haven't heard there is going to be a Christmas Party in New West 219 on Sunday, December 11th starting at around 1:30p. It's potluck style, so try to bring something if you can. I will have all of the T-Shirts with me, so you'll be able to pick them up there as well. ALSO the Events page was updated with pictures and albums and whatnot, so go check it out and get a blast from the recent past.

Sun, 11 Sept '11: The Start of a New ~~Era~~ Semester
The Planning Meeting was a success! If you'd like to check out the new schedule, click here or click the 'Schedule' tab up at the top. In other news, the first meeting of the semester will be this upcoming Tuesday the 13th in Hamilton 100. In other other news, new background picture, woo!

Mon, 29 Aug '11: Wheels Are In Motion. Wheels Within Wheels...
The new member meeting was a success! Or I'd like to think it was...We had about 50 or so people come out and watching Trigun: Badlands with us, and it was great fun. To any of the newer members reading this, thanks for coming (Also, don't forget about the COUp Table in Lenoir)! The next major get together will be the Fall 2011 Planning Meeting, and that will be September 10th. I'm not sure where yet, but I'll update this post when I find out. After that, the first official meeting of the semester will be September 13th (woo!). Again, not entirely sure where that will be at the moment, but I'll send out emails and update this post as soon as I find out.

Sat, 27 Aug '11: New Website for a New Year
It's finally happened! The website has been redone! Whoaaaaa. Everything has been shifted and re-done, courtesy Hanna Palmerton. If you see Hanna ever, you should totally tell her what you think of the new website (I think it's awesome). Some links still may be broken, and the Events page hasn't yet been filled out with pictures, but they will get filled in. Slowly but surely. If you notice any other issues, or just have general cristcisms/comments about the site, please feel free to email me (cblashka@email.unc.edu), and I'll get right on it. In other news, FallFest went splendidly, getting the club around 99 sign-ups. The New Member meeting is today starting @ 2p in Union 3411, and good times will be had for all there. See everyone there!

Wed, 27 Apr '11: Member Updates!
Oh snap! It's about time I put these things up. We had a great final meeting of the semester. Trigun, as always, was quite good and left as all hungering for donut-y goodness. Head on over to the updated members page for some new avatar goodness and an updated group picture. Gasp! Other than that, Animazement is a month from now and, as usual, there will be a decent chunk of COUp going to that. Summer COUp will be starting up at some point, we just have to figure out a fun filled schedule. FINALLY, I swear the website will be getting a redesign over the summer, because I know how important this site is to everyone. That being said, peace out!

Sun, 21 Jan '11: Reminds me of Spring
Just a quick note that the new Spring schedule is up for your viewing pleasure. ~~Meetings start this Tuesday (Jan 25th), though we can't confirm the location until room reservations open on Monday, so check the mailing list then.~~ Scratch that, meetings start next Tuesday, Feb 1st, and will be in Hamilton 100. See you then!

Tue, 7 Sep '10: I love the smell of first meetings in the...evening?
Heads up! We will be having our first meeting of the semester next Tuesday September 14th, starting at 7pm in Hamilton 100. The powers that be have decreed that we can't get a room in order to start meetings a week early, but we are good from here on out. Attempts to update regularly will be made on a semi-regular basis. In other news, brace yourselves for the flood of emails likely related to food, and the consumption of it.
