Cheesy intro.

Let me take the time to tell you guys about the first two Zu parties.

28 Dec 97 2000H - Somewhere behind a KFC
	7 members (namely, Switch, Yebah, Rain Man, Pervert, Gee, Radler and
Mayhem) of the Nikholas F. Toledo Zu meet, some for the first time.  Armed
with
some VHS tapes and natural wit, they begin the first official Zu party.

Zu Party I:
	Animes watched:  Please Save My Earth (dubbed) 1-6, La Blue Girl 
(subbed) 1-6, 3x3 Eyes OAV II (subbed) 1, Fushigi Yuugi (subbed) 1-20.
	Total time taken:  15 hours.

03 Jan 98 1000H - Same place
	Zu central, at the insistence of some members, is disconnected from the
'Net, and is transported to Location X.  A TV and a VHS is transported, with
another computer.

03 Jan 98 1100H
	10 members (namely, Switch, Rain Man, Pervert, Hollie, NomaD, Jewel,
Elf, Radler, Pinball 1/4 and Mayhem) arrive.  The direct cable connection 
between Zu central and Pervert's platform doesn't work, because the former
lacked communications port 2.  In any case, two computers and a VCR were
playing.  Life was being grand.

03 Jan 98 1355H
	Blackout occurs.  Switch waves it off, saying that it happens often, and
will be done in five to ten minutes.

03 Jan 98 1410H
	Electricity does not return.  The group break for lunch and open up a
Monopoly set, and some Ranma playing cards which they bought at a nearby shop.

03 Jan 98 1600H
	The entirety of Metro Manila ticks three hours of complete blackout.

03 Jan 98 1800H
	Datzo and a friend arrive.  Several other members, Elf, Jewel and 
Pinball, leave for their respective homes (hey!  classes start on the 5th).

03 Jan 98 2000H
	Power returns.  Much celebration ensues and sacrifices are offered to 
Thor.

04 Jan 98 0115H
	Pervert leaves, taking his PC.  With screams of 'El Pollo Diablo', the
others settle down for some hardcore watching.  The Zu's 20th member,
Attar, is
inducted, with the provision of fanfiction writing.

Zu Party II:
	Animes watched:  Neon Genesis Evangelion (subbed) 1-4, 17-20, Fushigi 
Yuugi (subbed) 21-52, Sukeban Deka (subbed) 1-2.
	Total time:  26 hours.
	Total viewing time:  18 hours.

As described earlier, the latest acquisition to the Zu, Attar, Full Plate,
has 
been contracted to do fanfiction work.

*sigh*  Well, another year has gone, and none of us are getting younger.  Here
is an updated list of titles coming out in January, some of which are already
at my desk, waiting for editing and posting:

Is it any wonder why I feel like Puff Daddy?

In any case, it's good to be back in the seat, and great to be hamming the 
keyboard again.  Keep 'em coming!
