Hi everyone!
We’ll be screening Studio Ghibli’s Tales of Earthsea this Saturday. Also known as Gedo Senki, this film is directed by Goro Miyazaki, son of acclaimed anime director Hayao Miyazaki.
Based on the unique series of books by Ursula Le Guin, Tales of Earthsea takes place in a fantasy world of dragons and wizards. A ship is tossed by a raging sea and two dragons appear from the storm clouds, only to devour each other. This is seen to be a terrible omen that the very balance of the world is collapsing and sets Sparrowhawk, a wizard, on his quest to find the source of the evil forces that are shaking the world.
Date: Saturday, 29 September 2007

We’ll be organising a chalet cum barbecue for all of you. Enjoy a night of intense gaming, movies, anime and Japanese dramas. There might even be a party of thrill-seekers visiting the darkest places around the area. This is your best chance to rest, relax and get to know each other better.
Here are the details of the barbecue:

If you want to stay for more fun, some communal living experience, or are just too stoned to get home, the chalet lasts until Friday, 28 September 2007. That’s two whole days of gaming fun!
And if you think you have something to share, like a new game console or lots and lots of different party games, we’ll appreciate you offering your help!
