Santa Barbara Animation Appreciation Association/SB3A (C/FO - Santa Barbara)?

The roughly mid-90's and earlier (generally pre-Toonami, pre-anime boom) era of anime & manga fandom: early cons, clubs, tape trading, Nth Generation VHS fansubs, old magazines & fanzines, fandubs, ancient merchandise, rec.arts.anime, and more!

Santa Barbara Animation Appreciation Association/SB3A (C/FO - Santa Barbara)?

Post by mbanu »

Hard to find any info on this one... looks like they joined the C/FO in 1988 and then exited during the exodus:
Club History: Started out as the Santa Barbara Chapter of the CF/O about six years ago. Broke with the organization during the Great CF/O Nuclear Meltdown a few years ago and struck out on our own.

On the other hand, there's a used bookstore in Santa Barbara that claims to have C/FO - Santa Barbara fanzines from 1986, so it might be a bit older: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDe ... -_-title28

They made it to at least April of 1998; here's the last schedule I could find.

Anyone have any more info?
