Anime Boston: Hetalia Luncheon and Panel

[squigglymello.livejournal.com]

Greetings! After seeing the post for the Anime North Hetalia Picnic, I decided it was about time I post the information on Anime Boston's Hetalia gathering!

THE PANEL NOW HAS A NAME:
HETALIA: ALL YOUR VITAL REGIONS ARE BELONG TO U.S.(A)
Alright, hey there, everyone! Hopefully people aren't going to kill me for this, but I feel I'm bringing a relevant piece of information to the community by posting this! Anyways.

I recently started posting around on the Anime Boston official forums, and the AB forums on cosplay.com about a potential Hetalia panel and luncheon. As it stands right now, the luncheon will be running from 2PM-3:30PM on Friday, with a small photoshoot at 4PM and the Axis Powers Hetalia Panel at 5PM. THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

But this is also a bit of a recruitment for me. For the Hetalia panel, I'm going to need several countries to help me out. So far, there's Sweden and Finland (Said Finland, if you're on here, let me know if you do intend to help with the panel.), and possibly Japan. I'm probably going to be either Greece or Poland during this panel, and I'll probably have Lithuania with me.

And here's where I need your help~
So, AB Hetalia cosplayers. Anyone want to help out? It's just going to be a panel of crack, lols, and discussion.
From pasta to the show's cancellation, we'll try and cover just about everything.
But, I'd like specific requests on what YOU the attendees would like to see. I'm considering making pasta for everyone. As well as other little ethnic treats.
As host of this panel I only have one character who I would like involved in the panel: Prussia. So he may invade the panel's vital regions with his five meters.

But enough of that! Tell me what you, my fellow Hetalia fans, would like to see! Even if you aren't going to Anime Boston, toss your ideas out there! This most likely will be recorded and placed on youtube for all to see! So, the more ideas people have, the better this panel will be!!   

Thanks guys! Feel free to ask any questions about this! Everything is still in the planning phase, so I need all the help I can get!

On the contrary, I think this merits a new tag!

[Modpost] New tag

[mumumugen.livejournal.com]

Organizing a lunch with some Hetalia friends?
Going to a convention?
Having a picnic to talk about Arthur and Alfred?

The new tag "events" is what you're looking for, for those real-life gatherings of any type.

[squigglymello.livejournal.com]

I'm flattered! I feel like I've redeemed myself after my post wanting American State OCs. Haha~

[ilovesquee.livejournal.com]

Hi!~ Azira_no_Meikai over at cosplay.com and will be North Italy with my friends as Austria and Hungary.
I'll be happy to help out with the panel or anything i can to to be useful really.


I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE PROMISE OF PASTA. IN FACT I WILL WORK FOR PASTA.

[squigglymello.livejournal.com]

I believe I saw you on coscom earlier. (Xailyn's me, fyi c: )

God, you might have just earned yourself at least an assistant spot in the panel with "I WILL WORK FOR PASTA".

[underthered.livejournal.com]

YES. WE'RE DOING SOMETHING AT AB.

I was thinking of coming as Belarus, although have been debating switching to Hungary since she's the better known of the female characters. I MIGHT be able to play in the panel but I don't know how well I can keep character. I gotta re-evaluate my survey of character designs before I can even decide who I'm doing.

I don't even know what I'd like to see... I'M JUST SO HAPPY WE'RE DOING SOMETHING.

[squigglymello.livejournal.com]

DEAR GOD. BE HUNGARY.
Because I MIGHT be recruiting an Austria for it, AND if I can, I WOULD LOVE A PRUSSIA.

BRING A FRYING PAN.

[demikkusuu.livejournal.com]

THESE MAKE ME WISH I LIVED NOT IN TEXAS. ARRRRR good luck, though. (:
My recommendation? Play Whose Line games. You can find a whole wiki article about them. oh god
especially the one 'Whose Line' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_from_Whose_Line_Is_It_Anyway%3F). To think, with a group this fucking ... [weird/awesome/insert adjective], the lines you could come up with would be amazing.

[squigglymello.livejournal.com]

A WINNER IS YOU.
That's a FANTASTIC idea!
Especially if we have Sweden. Somehow Sweden+Whose Line=FANTASTIC

[alacranita.livejournal.com]

Argh! I'll probably be in class for most of the events, except the panel, but I'll come.

Also, anyone cosplaying as US or UK, take some photos at the various revolutionary war monuments around town if you get a chance.

[squigglymello.livejournal.com]

There is probably going to be another photoshoot AFTER the panel though, for anyone who missed the first one.

[stafffighter.livejournal.com]

I don't know about helping, but I will try to come there as Greece.

[summersoltice.livejournal.com]

I would love to see who could impersonate the character's personality the best. Maybe slip in a little history in there too for us history otakus yes?

[squigglymello.livejournal.com]

Oh there's definitely going to be history. (lolzy history, but history nonetheless).

[bananamanifesto.livejournal.com]

:DDD

I'll be there with a decent sized group. I'll be going as Russia, with an America, UK, Sweden, Finland, Lithuania, Hungary and possibly others~ We probably won't be able to make the luncheon, because we have school that day and don't get out 'til 2:15. But I think we'll be able to get to the photoshoot and panel.

[squigglymello.livejournal.com]

Aww, too bad. BUT. There will be treats at the panel for those who can't make the luncheon! <333

AND YOUR NAME IS EPIC.
*has an OC whose name is Manifesto*

[kodonaa.livejournal.com]

I'm going to be Finland as usual x]
Caaaan't wait!

[squigglymello.livejournal.com]

YOU'RE THE FINLAND I'M TALKING ABOUT.
I KNOW. I SEE THE NAME JEREMY.

[deliciouswurst.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I was planning on cosplaying as England!
I have a few friends i'm tying to coerce to cosplay hetalia as well, just not sure who yet-
Keep me informed, i'd love to meet up :)

[mad-bomber75.livejournal.com]

YES! OMG THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY! I'm actually planning on going with a group of my friends to AB and we've got an APH cosplay planned. I'll be Latvia, and I'll have Russia, America (and possible UK and Japan) with me as well (I must go tell them of this epicness nao >:3) This makes me so psyched! Thanks for putting this together! :D

[squigglymello.livejournal.com]

I might need to get your Russia and you to cause a scene at the panel.
I actually think I've got all panelist positions filled, but I'm whoring EVERYWHERE for people to cause lols at the panel.

[thirteenoclockk.livejournal.com]

OH GAWD MY HEART
JUST SKIPPED SEVERAL BEEATTTSSS KDLKSFDLKSL
I'm just so happy that there's so much APH activity for AB this year.
I'm planning to go as either Hong Kong or Austria haha, maybe even Romano? (Someone with short dark hair)

Thanks so much for trying to organize this, I'll be on the lookout for any updates!

[squigglymello.livejournal.com]

...You want to be Turkey and get into fights with me? 8DD

[peter-kirkland.livejournal.com]

APH at AB 8D

My life just got more awesome ;_;

[vitalregions.livejournal.com]

Hah! You beat me to it! A friend and I were considering doing a Hetalia panel there too, but I guess we're slow to the punch. xD ...if you need help we're in! ID I'm not sure who exactly we're cosplaying at AB though, as we've planned like 40 Hetalia costumes...

[vitalregions.livejournal.com]

Partner? I thought you were my backup!

8D

[kyo-starr.livejournal.com]

(Larielle from the AB forums~)
A luncheon/panel sounds like a great idea! I'd love to help out with the panel :D Er, did you want it to be all cosplayers? I'm also cosplaying Liet, so I'm (most likely) available as back up, or I could come in civilian wear and help serve.

[squigglymello.livejournal.com]

Hmm, well, there is a Liet already. But if you'd like to assist. Like I said, as it stands, there's Sweden, Finland, possibly Japan, Lithuania and I'm either being Japan or Poland. So~ If there's anyone else you were planning, let me know ^^.

[genius-freak.livejournal.com]

Italy Romano here~ (Toki from the AB forums)

I'll be there all of Friday and Saturday (and some of Sunday), so I can probably help out with the panel, just gotta check with my school chaperone-type person first though....

[cavechan.livejournal.com]

I posted at the AB forums already, but mayaswell reiterate! My boyfriend (zatoichi_fan) will be Prussia and I will be Hungary. xD my otp~ We'll definitely try to make it!! He's 99% chance going to be staff at AB and I hopefully will be, but I'm sure we'll be able to escape the karaoke room to hang out for the photoshoot and panel and whatnot. XD~

[cavechan.livejournal.com]

I just noticed you said you wanted a Prussia for the panel. I really don't know if my boyfriend would do it because he's really not a big Hetaliatard. XDDD If you're desperate though you will probably be able to drag him up.

I just told him. He was like, "Oh dear. Do I have a choice?" XDD

[squallokins.livejournal.com]

Oh heck yes.
I'm so in for this 8D.
Will hopefully have Switzerland ready for it.
Berb, I need to horde myself somewhere to sew it 8D totally got me motivated now.

[nekoshoujo223.livejournal.com]

I am so excited for this!I'm going as Austria (is ilovesquee previously mentioned friend)
I'd love to help if I can. And I would not be opposed to bringing various Austrian dishes for attendees consumption >.<

[maid.livejournal.com]

Totally going to this ;__; Totally. Dunno if I'd be cosplaying a Hetalia character, though.
