Field trip! We're going to Spirited Away at the Enzian! (7/29)

Great news! We mentioned last week that Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away would be playing at The Enzian in Maitland on Sunday, July 29th(and also on the 31st). It seemed unlikely that those of us who plan events for Propeller Anime would be available to help organize a group to go see the movie.

But it turns out Shane O'Mac actually is available! That's great news! This means we can organize a carpool with people that go to our events. It would also rule if we could help fill the theater for the only anime to ever win an Oscar. RSVP on Facebook!
