Hi there JMACers,

So how ’bout that stomach virus going ’round campus… The cold/flu season is almost over, so take care of yourselves during this last stretch of the season. (I mean it’s surprisingly warm today in Chicago bUT STILL gotta be vigilant!)

Next Week’s Meeting: Winter Quarter Week 8

The next JMAC meeting will take place on Monday, February 22nd from 4-9pm in good ol’ room 380 of the Lincoln Park Student Center. Join us at the start of social hour for a panel about JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure!

Our weekly showing will be a complete screening of Garzey’s Wing (a true gem of anime, by which I mean it’s HORRIBLE, but that’s what makes it great). In this (so bad it’s glorious) 3-episode OVA, college student Chris suddenly gets his spirit hijacked by wings of light and must somehow fight in an ancient rebellion using the power of "Garzey’s Wing."

And as always, join us at approx. 7:30pm for a screening of the second of our two running series Terror in Resonance.

Last Week’s PowerPoint: WQ Week 7 (aka JMAC Week 16)

Attached are the slides from last week’s meeting, themed with Funny Miiverse Posts to laugh at to take a load off of stress. Be sure to check out the manga of the month about horror-filled short stories as well as a Vocaloid music video of the week!

Take is steady, JMAC, and stay in good health too!
