The troops assemble at the store to talk and catch up the the news and the enormous amount of change going on in the anime industry. Here Daisuke tells us of more scary Japanese web sites. Dan and Victor and Colin listen in horror.

This was the first major dinner Colin was able to get out to since he got married. His wife at this time was not in the country while she was clearing immigration papers.

Today was a good day to catch up on the year as the quiet mild mannered Dilber came out. We also had a visit from our resident Chief from Vernon, Sam, or our designated Indian name for him, "Big Chief, No Jerky". (comes from all those time he promised us animal jerky and showed up empty handed).

Here is jolly Ed Yee, the other lucky married man.

James is relaxing by the most nerdy part of the store, where the internet computer, the fridge, the chocolate bars, the chips, and the microwave are located.
