We are a new club for people interested in Kabuki theatre, one of Japan's most entertaining and beautiful art forms. This time we will be watching Bando Tamasaburo's legendary performance in the dance play Musume Dojoji. We will watch a projected DVD with English commentary. Everyone is welcome! When: September 18, 2pm Where: San Francisco Public Library Main Branch Paley Conference Room, 3rd Floor 100 Larkin Street, San Francisco (across the street from Civic Center BART/MUNI) Contact: Mark, <a href="mailto:communications@jetaanc.org" rel="nofollow">communications@jetaanc.org</a> Summary of Musume Dojoji: "A beautiful woman inveigles her way into a temple compound at the time of a ceremony to consecrate a new bell. She secretly burns with anger because she believes that one of the monks betrayed his vow to marry her. She changes from one gorgeous kimono to another until the maiden turns into a frightening demon who melts the new bell. Performed at Tokyo's Kabuki-Za Theatre, Tamasaburo is seen here at the height of his powers as a dancer." --Marty Gross For updates and more information about this and future Kabuki Club events, join our Google Group: <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/jetaanc-kabuki-club" rel="nofollow">http://groups.google.com/group/jetaanc-kabuki-club</a> Note that this event is not sponsored by the San Francisco Library.

Due to numerous factors, Anime was a part of my life before I even knew what it was. Career necessities and personal political realities precipitated my complete uprooting from Atlanta, GA and relocation to SF proper (currently along the panhandle) Needless to say, my nearest friends are over 3k miles away, and I'd love to meet some like-minded people here. I'm absolutely surprised to see the state of the local anime community in SF county, though. Either it's buried very, very deep underground, or Atlanta's is much healthier of late (maybe it's just closer to the surface because the culture is all big-box). Loves include: -convoluted seinen style plots -the obnoxiously moe -hard scifi (not limited to anime) -character driven -parody (also not limited to anime, see mst3k, rifftrax.com) -high fantasy top 5 titles: Akira scraprin gits sac Aria shangri-la donmelvin5000 on "Kabuki Club - July 17" http://bayanime.com/forums/topic/kabuki-club-july-17#post-2157 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 21:21:22 +0000 donmelvin5000 2157@http://bayanime.com/forums/ Interested in watching one of Japan's most entertaining and beautiful art forms? Join us for the July meeting of the JETAANC Kabuki Club, a new club for people interested in watching Kabuki theatre. This time we will be watching a summertime thriller, The Ise Dances and Love's Dull Blade (Ise Ondo Koi no Netaba). Based on an actual multiple murder in the Aburaya Tea House, this play is one of the most popular in the Kabuki repertoire, combining action, intrigue and a spectacularly grotesque murder. The play is a staple of summer Kabuki performances in the belief that the audience will be cooled as they shiver with fear through the horrific killing scene. (Marty Gross) (As in all Kabuki plays, the violence is very stylized.) We will watch with the English commentary and refreshments will be provided. If you love Kabuki theatre or would like to learn more about it, why don't you join us? Everyone is welcome! This time we're returning to the Rockridge boutique shopping district of Oakland.

I actually signed up about two months ago and just forgot to "properly" introduce myself. I'm Ira and I have been into Anime since the 90's. My initial introduction was a little before that but that sort of unimportant at this time. I enjoy a variety of shows. Everything from the rare lesser known features like Voices of a Distant Star to mainstream shows like Working. I generally like a good story more than anything. I have also written a few articles concerning the various facets of the fandom. Mostly for practice and assignments though. But I do have fun putting them together since I get to learn something that I have yet to learn about being an fan. I hope to help out in anyway if possible and maybe learn something from all of you.
