[Event] Milwaukee meet UPDATE

[catgirlprime.livejournal.com]

Bradford Beach
DATE: Friday, August 13
TIME: meet up at 11 AM - 9 _{at the latest}
PLACE: meet up at Bradford Beach concession stand; Milwaukee

★★★You'll be looking for America and fem!Canada.★★★
★This is casual cosplay, chickadees. I also don't want anyone getting heat stroke on me, so please dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes.


★Bradford Beach is near McKinley Park and Lake Park. Nearby are numerous restaurants, but there are also plenty of shady spots to relax and have a picnic, if we so chose. We can walk around to different spots in the city for pictures, food, and the like easily enough as well.

★Please comment if you're planning on attending with how many people [since some like to bring non-LJ friends, and that's perfectly fine] and who you're planning on dressing as, so we know who to be on the look out for.

★If people have questions on getting to the beach, just ask for go to a site like Mapquest and enter the address you're coming in from. You can get there by car, bus, bike or foot if you live close enough. I'm sure parking's going to be a bear, though, so it may be best to ask a parent or friend to drop you off/pick you up.

Are there any Milwaukee-Racine-Kenosha-ish area people interested in a Hetalian meet up?

We were unable to go to the Chicago meet up and feel depressed left out.

We're still looking for a suitable location.
Right now, options are looking like: the Domes/Mitchell Park; Bradford Beach; Boerner Botanical Gardens.
Most likely, it'd be causal, too, since people might be a tad concerned seeing a blonde guy walking around with a giant battle axe...

Comments, suggestions, general display of interest, or any form of input are much appreciated.

I think I love you. c:

I'd totally be interested! I was pretty bummed about not being able to go the Chicago meetup too... But this would make up for it. :D

_{I punched my friend in excitement.}
:'D Any idea where would be a good place to meet up? Someplace that people won't get, like, mugged or shanked or anything, preferably |D;;

=^..^=~

I have pictures!! you missed soooo much!!! I'll do a post asap

[blacksoulandy.livejournal.com]

OMG I was hoping there would be one that I could go too....I'm unfortunately without my cosplay yet TT-TT

I'll be interested in future ones though for sure.

[catgirlprime.livejournal.com]

It'd most likely be casual so we don't freak out any of the residents or anything...casual's a lot easier to throw together than an official. _{Cuz I know I don't have the money for an official one.}

=^..^=~

[briefasa.livejournal.com]

I'd totally try and make it!
I need to cosplay out in public more often. I haven't been doing it too much lately. :c
I'd most likely be Belarus, but I may go as Poland if my Liet can come, too!

[catgirlprime.livejournal.com]

Awesome! :D Any suggestions as to where, exactly, we could all meet up? We have the idea of the Domes, which do cost money [[but it's fairly affordable, I think]], Bradford Beach, or Mitchell Park so far...any suggestion is most welcome, though~

=^..^=~

[tsukino123.livejournal.com]

I'd love to, really, but Im still trying to recover from the Botanic Gardens meet up yesterday D:

[tsukino123.livejournal.com]

however if its in about a month I should be able to go. Around Septemberish maybe???

[catgirlprime.livejournal.com]

That wild, huh?

We haven't even thought of a date, yet. We're both in college, so it'd most likely be next month or a weekend.

=^..^=~

[sameekin.livejournal.com]

Madison-Hetalian here. Totally able to go to Milwaukee though!

[catgirlprime.livejournal.com]

Cool beans, man. We're still planning, but we'll keep everyone posted.
The big thing is location right now. Then a date. |D

=^..^=~

[cannianniroxas.livejournal.com]

That sounds wonderful :'D
The one in Chicago was loads of fun but such a far trek x.x Totally worth it though :3

The Domes are wonderful, you could do a park if you wanted? Bradford beach is very lovely~

[catgirlprime.livejournal.com]

I was rained out; I couldn't go to Chicago. ;^;

I don't remember if I've been to Bradford Beach...I probably have.
The Domes would be really cool, and it's not too expensive. I'm sure a lot of people have student IDs or a parent's AAA, which could get a discounted ticket price.

=^..^=~

[kana-dragongirl.livejournal.com]

This sounds awesome. I had a lot of fun at the one Chicago, it would be cool to have one close to home. I don't know too much about Milwaukee but, the lakefront was always nice. I'd prefer not to pay but maybe with my I.D. it won't be that bad.

[catgirlprime.livejournal.com]

The lakefront is nice...I love the water.
Oh my God, if only we could get a boat xD Epic Hetalia water party.

The Domes is $5 unless you're 18+, but there's discounts for student IDs and AAA. So it's not unreasonable, but it'd be better if we didn't have to pay.
Everyone likes free things, after all.

=^..^=~

[kenichi-bokushi.livejournal.com]

Definitely !! It would be nice to have a meetup a little closer to home sometime!

[catgirlprime.livejournal.com]

Cool! Any ideas on location? Ideally it'd be somewhere we wouldn't have to pay to enter or anything like that...

=^..^=~

[earthdiva-x.livejournal.com]

That would be awesome if you guys get it together. It sucks never being able to go to any of the events [though I'm usually busy anyways]. What time-period are you guys aiming for? I'd love to go, but I leave for Nanjing in a month.

[catgirlprime.livejournal.com]

I live in the boonies without a car [of my own], so it's difficult for me to get places; thus I miss a lot of events.
My friend and I aren't sure on a time, yet. Right now we're trying to find a suitable location, which is looking more and more like Bradford Beach. We're both in college, so if it's not next month it's most likely going to be some weekend.
I'll update as things progress.
_{But Nanjing, man? I wanna go...my papa's going to China late August for work. I can't go with him. ;^;}

=^..^=~

ASDFGHJKL~!
:D
Im glad you liked the area.
I'm also twice as glad that Friday the 13th is the alternate day because I work Saturdays.
All the time. D:
It's some sort of wicked miracle i got off for the Chicago meet.
So its obvious where my vote is cast lol.

[blacksoulandy.livejournal.com]

I work Saturdays too. DX<
I second the vote for Friday!

[blacksoulandy.livejournal.com]

Fem!Hong Kong here. I don't know if I'll be attending with someone else....it pretty much depends on whether or not my friend is still here by the 13th...she's leaving for California any day now.

Man the only way to get to Bradfort Beach for me is by walking a few blocks after a second bus....I hate living in Racine.

[catgirlprime.livejournal.com]

I haven't gotten many responses on this meet since the initial posting, but the more the merrier.

A few blocks isn't too bad...but it's probably going to be hot. oTL But fem!Hong Kong can endure! ;u; Bring along a cold water bottle for the trip?

=^..^=~

[kana-dragongirl.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm excited. I'm going to be going as fem. Germany and I'd love to make a papercraft for everyone who's going. So, tell me who you're going as so I can make all of you papercrafts. :D

[catgirlprime.livejournal.com]

I don't know how many people read through comments, but my friend and I are going as America and fem!Canada. Some people've shown interest initially, but after I started updating, the interest has died? :/
I dunno.
But the papercrafts sound adorable. <3

=^..^=~

[cannianniroxas.livejournal.com]

Hello~!
It's D-Day! <3
I can't wait but just letting you know I will be showing up with my crew of kana and two more a bit later than the meet up time. WE WILL ARRIVE.
Not ditching
but we will be late
fashionably of course.
Also yes we do not sleep.
We are robots.

[catgirlprime.livejournal.com]

8D !!! Awesome! I dunno where we'll be when you arrive, though, because we're probably going to wander. If your settings allowed messages, I'd message it to you. :'c
