David Chen, Vice President of CAA:

It’s our annual Halloween showing! We’ll be watching Detroit Metal City in 2040 VLSB from 7-10 PM. We’ll also be showing another exciting episode of Kurenai and another hilarious episode of Goodbye, Mr. Despair Extreme.

Detroit Metal City tells the story of a young aspiring musician wanting to make it big in the city of Tokyo. Through multiple twists of fate, he becomes the lead singer of the ultra popular underground heavy metal rock band, the Detroit Metal City. Hilarity ensues.

This show is not for the faint of heart. It features awesome uncensored swearing and awesome raunchy humor. I dare say this is our most “mature” showing this semester.

We will also be having our annual Halloween Cosplay Contest, with fabulous prizes to be announced. If you want either music or an image shot up on the screen make sure you bring it along with you or speak to us before the contest begins. See you there.

Stanley Liu, President of Cal Animage Alpha writes:

Our Halloween Cosplay Contest will be during the intermission of our 8th showing which will be on Oct. 27th. Like our other showings, we will begin at 7:00 PM with our showing of the week, which will be “Detroit Metal City” (It says Birdy on the website). This will be followed by the Halloween Cosplay Contest which will begin some time around 8:15 until 9:00 when we begin our weeklies (Kurenai and Zetsubo). The showing as well as the Halloween Cosplay Contest is completely free to watch just like all of our other events, however membership is required to place in the contest itself. Everyone is free to come wearing costumes though the prizes are limited to our members.

Unfortunately we are still working on the specifics of the contest, however the rules for the contest are on our website here RULES. Unfortunately due to campus policies about classroom reservations, we will not be able to give an exact place until October 14th.

Updated 9.26.2008:
CAA has decided to open up the contest to everyone regardless of membership status! Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 contestants. There is no need for advance registration; just show up and sign up at the event.

More updates will be posted here as we get them so keep an eye on this page if you’re interested in entering or attending!
