A friend told me a college anime club (Not at the college I attend. They don’t have anything.) that I knew about accepted non-CTC students despite how I had been previously told that you had to be a student at that college to join the club but my friend kept bringing it up to me and I decided to go down to it today. Unfortunately, I was treated coldly by the people there and found out that you indeed need to be a student to join the club or have a CTC student escort you as a guest.

Just when I think things will be different, reality repeats itself.

What about having that "other student" escort you?

I worded that poorly. You need someone who is already a CTC student to escort you but I don’t know anyone who goes there and my friend is at a different college now.

That's the way most, if not all, colleges are.

I work in the library at Pace. No one from New York University can use the library----not can they join any club sponsored by Pace.

It's no slight on you at all.

I'm a member of the local university's anime club despite not going to that school. It's not free though, but it's a very reasonable sum. Are there any animeclubs that you'd need to pay for but are still reasonable price over there?

I know that UT in Austin has an anime club but I don’t know if you can pay to go as a non-student. The library in Waco says they have an adult anime club that meets once a month and a teen one that meets twice.

I remember there was a Austin Aspergers Meet Up group that had anime events for their teen subgroup and I asked if they could do one for adults but they told me they couldn’t and to just talk to the adult fans if there were any at the meetings. I attended a meet up and it was just middle-aged and elderly men. I was bored to tears and ruled out ever going back until five years later when I decided to give it another try and there was a man closer to my age as well as some women this time around but I felt put out how they said Aspergers helped them in artistic pursuits while Aspergers has not done that for me. I haven’t tried it again since the March of last year.
