It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

It's time again to start planning for Tampa Bay Anime's Christmas Extravaganza. Every year we all get together someplace nice and exchange gifts while enjoying a fine dining experience. It's an opportunity for us all to get together and shift the focus from anime to each other. It's something many of us look forward to every year.

Because we have so many people that will want to attend, we need to start thinking about the many decisions that we will have to make. Specifically, we need to agree on a time and a place for the event. The rules for gift-giving will be discussed at a later date. If you're concerned about planning your personal schedule so far ahead, don't worry. We won't be taking reservations yet. This is just a planning phase.

So, head over to this thread and let's talk about it. Do we want to do the same thing we did last year? Is there a good place you've been that you think the rest of us might enjoy? What date do you think will work for you and most people?

TBA's Holiday Extravaganza 2007

Well, we've held the last meeting for the year. Now, all that's left to do is party!

Tampa Bay Anime's 2007 Holiday Extravaganza is fast approaching! Everyone is invited to come to Kobé Japanese Steakhouse to join us for food, fun, and - most importantly - presents! This event is a favorite of many of our long-time members because it gives us all a chance to hang out, chat, get to know each other and exchange presents all with a good meal.

Get all the details and let us know if you're coming here, in this forum thread!

Holiday Schedule

The holiday season is upon us once again! Everybody has plans for getting together with family and friends over the next couple of months. Tampa Bay Anime takes a break around this time, to let people enjoy the holidays however they want. This year, we'll be skipping two regularly scheduled meetings.

THERE WILL BE NO MEETINGS ON THESE DATES

• November 24
• December 22

We're also making plans for our annual Holiday Extravaganza! This is a party we hold around the holiday season where we exchange gifts and TBA gives some lucky otaku some special prizes. It's a more upscale event that gives us the opportunity to live it up just a little bit among friends. We're still looking for a good place to hold the event. If you have any ideas, visit this thread to tell us about it.
