- Well now, Joel has been bugging me for weeks now to post something to
- alt.fan.lemurs (I was one of the ones "present" on a local BBS when
- he first "discovered" this subject- it's a _long_ story).
- He also likes to tell me how lemurs love to watch Japanese Animation
- because of all the big eyes. Well, since it seems that all is fair
- in net.war, here is an announcement that should attract lemurs from
- all over the country:
-

-
- On the weekend of Febuary 20, 1993, the Animation Society of Virginia
- Tech, VTAS, will present AnimeFest X. This will be a 30-hour, weekend long
- FREE Anime showing on the campus of Virginia Tech university.
- All programs will be shown on the giant projection TV in the
- Hancock Hall auditorium, complete with 900 watts of sound.
- Virginia Tech is located in Blacksburg, Virginia (like you couldn't
- guess from the name), about 30 miles southwest of Roanoke along I-81.
-
- While the schedule has not yet been set, we can promise a wide variety of
- subbtitled and English material. The prime feature will be the British
- claymation film "Truckers", based on the Terry Pratchett novel of the
- same name (also the author of the "Diskworld" series, and "The Color of
- Magic"). We are quite certain that this film has never before been shown
- in the United States, so it promises to be quite a premire!
- Other Animation films (mostly Japanese in origin)lineup include
- the Ranma movie (subtitled in English), Women Warriors Effi and Jiri
- (also subtitled), Samauri Pizza Cats (English), Mamono Hunter Yohko
- (subtitled), Supernatural Beast City (subbed), the completed Aeon Flux #1,
- and The Wind is Called Amnesia (subtitled).
-
- For more information, send email to VTAS@vtcc1.cc.vt.edu, or snailmail
- to VTAS, P.O. Box 10143, Blacksburg, VA, 24062-0413, or log on to the
- VTCOSY conferencing BBS (telent to vtcbx.cc.vt.edu to reach the
- VT CBX network, then type CALL VTCOSY). A complete schedule
- for AnimeFest X will be posted when available.
-
- We are sorry, but VTAS will NOT be providing Twinkies or Big K Grape soda
- for any lemurs who might attend. Additionally, the Hancock 100 auditorium
- is equipped with conventional built-in lighting, there are no kitchen lights
- to swing from.
