IT'S LIKE A SEE-SAW!
We return to Saratoga Library this month, so make sure you don't end up at the wrong place!
This month, we double up on Mermaid's Forest, with an original story (not from the manga). Fans of Master Keaton will be glad to see he's on the case, and of course, all the good stuff like R.O.D. TV and Giant Robo are there, too. Note that we are skipping the ultra-violent episode 10 (which doesn't make much difference to the story) of Ghost in the Shell and going straight to #11. Finally, we round out the schedule with some laughs in Diaper Man, no, sorry, Dokkoida!.
Also note the Daruma Craft Boutique that's happening nearby. If you order a bento lunch ahead of time, you can just walk over to pick up lunch instead of having to drive 10 minutes to get fast food.
Please note, card stamping will take place at some random time. You have to be there when it happens, or you'll miss it.

All times are approximate, so try to be early!
*Some shows may not be appropriate for all audiences!

12:30 Master Keaton #18: (Subtitled, Mystery)
