Summary of the Last Meeting (7/17/2024)
Griz Grobus readers: the next discussion will be pushed back to Wednesday, July 24. The reading remains up to chapter 49! You can read it online here, or check out your library or bookstore for a print copy.
Anime NYC is also coming up! August 23 through August 25 at the Javits Convention Center. Chris, Masha, and Suyang will all be sharing a table. Come say hi if you want to!
More importantly, as representatives of the PCM group, we are making enamel pins of the tomato guy! They will be 1.5” and come with Anime NYC-themed backing cards. If you want one, you can pre-order them for $10; at Anime NYC, they will be $12. If you pre-order, we will hand them out at a future meeting (unfortunately, we cannot mail them out). The pre-order form is here!
