If you have a few hours to spare over the weekend and are willing to
volunteer your time, please come to the CTRL-A meeting next Monday. We
have some neat ideas for the show and need help implementing them.

If you have a few hours to spare before that weekend, and you can speak
Japanese fluently, you could help make the upcoming show on the 27th a
very special one!

We are looking at making an excellent lineup even better. I would like
some help translating the Japanese dialogue into English. The English
script will then be used to produce a subtitled copy for the show.
Several subtitling projects are already under way, and I have just
enough time to start one new project, with help - I do not have the time
to strike out on my own for the titles I have in mind.

In the past, we've been the first on the continent (can't say about the
rest of the world... I don't check that far) to subtitle and show titles
like Escaflowne, Kodomo no Omocha and Shamanic Princess. This tradition
will continue this term. If you can help, you can make this show lots
of fun!

Making a copy of a legally purchased LD for personal use is
perfectly legal. Adding subtitles to those copies is perfectly legal.
Showing them to the general public or renting them out is perfectly illegal.
Fortunately, this is not something The Club That Really Likes Anime
is involved in. A small, private gathering of friends to display the
fruits of so much labour is not really illegal, under certain
circumstances. Fortunately, this also is not something the Club That Really
Likes Anime is involved in.

ttyl.
