August 2025 Meeting

August 2025 7000 BC Meeting | Saturday, August 9 | 1:00–4:00 | Slice of Life Anime and Manga | Albuquerque, NM

We're returning to Slice of Life Anime and Manga at 11200 Montgomery Boulevard NE Suite 6 for a meeting on Saturday, August 9 at the usual 1:00. We'll have our usual socializing and sharing work, but also going to use the time to get started on the big rats drawing for Bubonicon.

("What's with the rat drawing," you ask? In honor of Bubonicon mascot Perry the Rat, we collaborate on a big drawing of a rat for each year of Bubonicon and raffle it off, with proceeds going to charity. The winner of the raffle gets drawn as a rat in the center. So this year, we need to fill it up with 55 rats before the event ends.)
