If you missed the meeting Tuesday here's a quick update one what we discussed.
The picnic/Saturday Social is set for April 12th at the moment, starting at 5 PM. It will be potluck style and the document will be available on the Facebook for you to add what you will be bringing. We will be grilling out at the West State Street ball field back behind the University Commons and behind Larry's Dawg House (do not worry. It is about a 25 minute walk from campus).
The list of what is being brought so far is as follows:
Hannah Yinger = buns!!
Maddie Stricklin = Homemade Sugar cookies
There are some upcoming events through OU that the club may take a part in - once that is decided, we will update you!
Also, tomorrow night at 7:00 PM at the Memorial Auditorium there will be a Tao: Pheonix Rising Taiko drum concert. It costs $12 for OU Students to get in at the door and it looks to be a great show. Ali and myself will be going so feel free to join us!
See everyone tomorrow at the showing

Hello everyone and welcome back to Ohio University. Hope everyone had a good spring break and is not hating life too much now that they are back on campus.
This week we had our board member elections for next year. The results are as follows:
President: Samantha Faris
Vice President: Matthew "Scottie" Luhn
Treasurer: Jimmy Bulow
Scribe: Maddie Stricklin
Web Master: Hannah Yinger
Also discussed was a date for the Club Picnic and group photograph. The date suggested right now is April 12th, the Saturday a week before Easter. We are planning for it to be later in the day, around 5:30 PM or around that time.
There is also the possibility of a final Saturday Showing in April as an end of the year get together before the university lets out for Summer.
Note for scheduling: Ohio University has put up their course offerings for the Fall '14 Semester! They were uploaded Monday night. It is not possible for everyone to start looking up classes for the upcoming year!
I will also begin planning the Fall Semester schedule for next year, as per the new requirement of my position.
Enjoy the rest of your week everyone! And see you all on Friday.

Week 7 Meeting Information
Welcome to the week before Spring Break, everyone! If you didn't make it to the meeting today, this is what we went over... ~ Photos from the Saturday social will be posted to the website, but they will be posted to the Facebook with the disclaimer of "tag yourself at your own risk." I will upload them within the week. ~ JCon poker night! We're trying to bring it back ~ "All praise the helix fossil!" is written in the Bentley Hall bathrooms (specifically men's room) ~ The quote "Everyone in this room is white" before someone pointed out that was false - there was one Kuwaiti in the room. Everyone clapped. ~ Friday Social from 6 to 10 PM as a final hangout before everyone heads out for break. Come hang out with us! :) Roundtable: - "Do Dogs Have Brains" from YouTube - "What Are This" from YouTube

Update: February 20, 2014
I waited to update everyone because a lot of the things that we have been doing are all similar in taste from the last few Tuesday meetings. To make it easier on all of you I wanted to update you all at once rather than put it into thirds and make it confusing.
Last week we reviewed what we wanted to change in the Japanese Connection Constitution. Some of the Easter Eggs within it were changed and the idea of moving the size of the board and jobs of each board member were reviewed, as well as a few clauses were added involving "Damn it, Jimmy/Rico" and the calling of a member who has attended for the most years "Uncle". We also thought to add a clause stating that a certain someone cannot play Mario Party unless personally asked to take care of someone who's on a bit of an obnoxious winning streak.
This week we put everything to a vote.
1. Librarian Title has been removed from the Board; Board is now 5 member large
2. Public Relations has been changed to "Scribe" and the duties have been shuffled, removed and added
3. "Damn it, Jimmy" and/or "Damn it, Rico" are to be said when anyone or anything does something wrong
4. Jacob is not allowed to play Mario Party unless the club deems it necessary
5. Vice President is in charge of the Prize Bin
6. Stonecocks is now Ironcocks
Also on the agenda for the week after Spring Break (March 3 through March 7) are elections. So far, the people running for positions are as follows...
President:
~ Samantha Faris
Vice President:
~ Pancake Syrup [inside joke]
~ Matthew Scottie Luhn
Treasurer:
~ Alison Smith
~ Jimmy Bulow
Scribe:
~ Maddie Stricklin
~ Ryan Brown
Webmaster:
~ Luke Oleksiak
~ Hannah Yinger
These are subject to change within the week as people can nominate others at the next Tuesday meeting or they can drop their nomination if they no longer wish to run. Voting will ensue on March 11.
In other news - and to move onto something more exciting - there will be a Saturday Social this weekend (February 22) from 5 to 11. The time ending is more of a question rather than a statement seeing as we usually run over and there are plenty of events planned. It will be held in Morton 235, just like the Friday Showings. The schedule looks something like this:
5-11 in Morton 235
Game Systems @ 5/5:15
w/ Maddie, Ryan & Jimmy
Psyduck, Psyduck, Slowbro @ 5/5:15
[During Video game play]
*Online game of Cards Against Humanity may ensue*
Blank vs. Blank @ 6:45 PM
w/ Luke, Fajer & Ali
Tristan's GlopGlop Fanfic Game @ 8:15
w/ Tristan [and other judges if needed]
Jeopardy @ 10 PM
w/ Jimmy & Ali
"Spring Break Spectacular" -- After Jeopardy w/ Luke & Jimmy
Console Games will range from a variety of Mario games, Just Dance 4, Black Eyed Peas Experience, and more. Games will be explained upon request if any new people arrive and wish to partake in our shenanigans.
And lastly, a final tally was taken for those who wish to go to Midoricon 2.5 on March 29 and March 30. Hope everyone who goes has a great time!
Long post is long. But no worries. It's over.
Kudos and see you guys Friday.

Update for the Day
Hello fellow J-Convicts. Welcome to the hell that is winter - well, at least the worst of it here in Ohio. There is NO meeting tonight due to the fact that Ohio University has closed it's campus for the first time in a few years. Long story short:
I hope everyone has warm blankies and hot cocoa and socks - preferably socks fresh from the dryer - and a snuggle buddy, because you're going to need it!! Stay warm, stay safe!! Maddie Stricklin

What You Missed: Meeting #2
Yesterday we discussed rides and etiquette for Ohayocon. President Sam gave a wonderful presentation about how to act and such. Biggest rules: "Ask the cutie before you touch the booty" and respect the talent at panels and such.
The anime was revealed for the Friday showings. They are as follows:
~ Sympho Gear
~ Space Battle Yamato 2199
~ Tiger & Bunny
~ Basilisk
~ Hellsing OVA
~ Gokaiger (Space Pirate Power Rangers)
Showing schedule will be announced next Friday after Ohayocon!!
In other news, Fajer Boarki will be taking photos if you ask her nicely while at the convention this weekend so please do not hesitate to ask her for a couple shots on your down time!!
The Ohayocon schedule has been posted to the website so those of you who wish it may create an itinerary for yourselves. The ball is Friday night - better get there early if you wish to attend!!
I hope everyone has their cosplays packed away nice, clean and safely, and/or that they are completely finished. I personally have just applied my acrylic nails and am working on their functionality. So far so good!
Driver listings are on the Facebook. Do make sure to remember where you are meeting and who to contact if you are going to be late and whatnot.
Sorry for the delay and God speed to you all!

Welcome to the JCon Page
Hello all.
On behalf of The Japanese Connection, I, Maddie Stricklin - your Public Relations officer - would like to personally welcome you to our page!
To further extend our roots and show others outside of Ohio University what we do, this webpage will be used to upload photos, updates and other information regarding our club affairs. Missed a meeting? No problem: notes on what was covered during that day will be shared here. Want to see how an event went that you were unable to attend? Look at our photos! Want a list of upcoming events with times, dates and locations!
That being said, I wish everyone a happy Wednesday - or "half day hump day" as my boss calls it - and may all your anime give you the feels on this late school night.
Cheers!
