We will be talking about the upcoming elections for the club for next year, and giving an update on the progress of the GMD judging.
See you there!
Hi everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111one
I was unable to book a room for a meeting this week, and since we haven`t really had any non-meeting club events this year, I propose that we go out to an arcade or net-cafe and relax!
This weeks meeting will be in an arcade or net cafe at 5-7pm on Friday March 28th.
We can meet at 5pm in the circle on the 2nd floor of Bahen.

Since this Friday is a holiday, there won’t be a meeting this week. HOWEVER, CSSU is hosting another Game Night this Thursday!
It starts at ~5pm in the Bahen Great Hall, 3F. More info here.
Hey Everyone,
Today’s meeting will be in BA2165 at 5-7pm
Hope to see you all there!
Hey everyone,
Since last time was such short notice, I figured I’d let you guys know about the band I mentioned a while back’s next performance,  here’s the info:
The Runaway Five
15/03/2008
500 Queen Street East, Toronto, Ontario
Cost : $5.00
Come join The Runaway Five to here live video game music arranging in the jazz idiom. If you don’t like game music, come for the jazz. If you don’t like jazz, come for the game music. If you don’t like jazz nor game music, come to see Alex Goodman do a quadruple backflip while wearing a dress (The Runaway Five assumes is not liable for Alex Goodman’s lack of backflip ability or ability to fit into a dress). This night will include music from many games including: Final Fantasy, Sonic The Hedgehog, Earthbound, Super Mario Brothers, Chrono Trigger, Zelda, Megaman and many more! With the growing popularity of video game music, this will sure be a night to remember. Come be part of a unique audience and help support live jazz and video game music!
The room that we will be meeting in is BA 2165, NOT BA 2135.
