  • Andrea Finnin - Treasurer / Director
    Andrea was born in a tool shed in Winchester, Massachusetts to a rare fungus and a cosplay seamstress. At the age of five, she entered the renowned Kindergarten of the Green Thumb and excelled in multivariable calculus and shaved ice making. She was expelled for mistaking my room-mate's bootleg collection for a litter box and herself for a cat.
    As Andrea was acutely aware of each tick of the clock on the detention room wall, the years passed slowly. In seventh grade, She proved that a triangle was indeed a circle and was immediately admitted to MIT and was recruited by NASA. In ninth grade her first girlfriend dumped her for someone with better taste in lawnmowers and her second boyfriend for the same reason. Since then she has had a debilitating phobia for all forms of yard work. For the remainder of high school, Andrea was a member of the junior varsity chess club (3rd string) and the Basket Weavers Association of the Northeastern United States (BWANUS). The latter was surely due to her admiration of her Uncle Lucky Jack who has remained under professional care in a padded room since first asserting that Goku could beat Sailor Pluto.
    With luck on her side, Andrea was admitted into the Drugstore of the Damned management training program, and it was there that she earned a bachelor's degree in European Medieval Torture and met her future husband James. In college, Andrea was also coronated as the Queen of Jupiter, first of her name. From her lofty throne she continues to mete out justice.
    After graduation, Andrea served as the assistant deep fryer at Franks Funny Fried Things restaurant until her directorial debut of the feature film, "Go Home, Pirate Man." A year later, she dropped everything became the Treasurer and a board member for the New England Anime Society.
