World Hetalia Day 2010: Birmingham, AL (FINAL UPDATE)

[hetalia17.livejournal.com]

Okay guys, I just wanted to make one final update for our Hetalia Day, to make sure that everyone knows what is going on.

LOCATION: Oak Mountain State Park in Pelham, AL (Website is www.alapark.com/oakmountain/ for directions.)

TIME: As the park closes at sundown each night (6 PM) I've decided to bump the meeting time from 2 PM to 1 PM on Sunday, October 24th, 2010.

COST: It's $3 to get into the park, and if everyone could bring at least $3 with them to help pay for the pavilion we're hoping to rent, that would be so helpful!!!

ALSO: Seeing as how the park closes rather early, Denmark and I have decided that if you want to hang out a bit longer, we'll head up to the Brunswick Riverview Bowling Lanes (Directions at the bottom of the page). Denmark and Korea have coupons for up to 6 people each, and those 12 people will need only to bring $5 to help pay (cost covers bowling and shoes). For anyone else, it'll be $4 for bowling and $4 for shoe rental.

REMINDERS:

- Don't forget to bring a dish or snack to share with everyone, from the country you're representing, if possible!
- Bring any kind of games you want!
- If possible, bring lawn chairs or blankets.
- The weather is looking phenomenal for Sunday, so as of right now, there is no rain date location.
-  If any of you guys have Facebook, please, please, PLEASE RSVP there so I can have a clearer headcount of who all is coming! (I know most of you guys have already, but just in case, our Facebook event page is here: www.facebook.com/event.php )

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT: 

Let me tell you guys, our group has gotten together plenty of great ideas to make our Hetalia Day awesome, and I couldn't have possibly pulled this all together without their help and support. You guys ROCK!

So without further adieu, let me tell you all of the ideas, games, and activities we've planned!

GAMES: 
  - Pin the Eyebrows on England (I thought of this for my last Hetalia Day up in Pennsylvania, and thought it would be amazing to bring it back for my new Alabama group!)

  - Apples to Apples (hopefully this is going to work out. We have Korea looking for it at her house.)

  - Risk (Again, a maybe. Hopefully someone has it and can bring it?)

  - Twister

DANCING:

I'm bringing either my iPod or my computer, and I'm pretty sure Denmark is bringing her speakers, so we can dance to our favorite anime tunes like Hare Hare Yukai, Lucky Star, Caramelldansen, and maybe even learn some new dances too! (This America can't dance worth a hoot, so I'd love to learn! XD)

FOOD:  

So far, we have food coming from several different countries!

Spain (Churros)
Great Britain (Sticky Toffee Pudding and Scones (ew. xD))
Denmark (Danish cookies)
The United States (I'm bringing our cake, and possibly pizza if money allows it.)
China (Fried Rice)
Russia (unknown)
Korea (Some sort of Korean sweet...I forget what it was now. xD)
Italy (unknown)
Germany (unknown)

NOTE: If someone could help me out by bringing paper plates, plastic utensils, and cups, then I'd be grateful. Also, I'll be bringing sodas, and I'm sure my England is bringing some tea, but other than that, if anyone can bring drinks as well, that would be so great!!!!!

My Greece (who you talked to briefly) is planning on bringing Greek yogurt. ♥

My Canada (if she ends up making it) is planning on bringing.........well, she said bacon and maple syrup. xDD

Korea here!

I'm bringing homemade Korean Sweet Rice Cake and maybe Yakult (yogurt drink in those tiny bottles)
And unfortunately, I don't have Apples to Apples :( But I found Taboo and Dirty Minds..

And didn't Russia say she will offer to bring plates, cups ,and utensils?

[hetalia17.livejournal.com]

Russia doesn't know if she'll be able to make it. Said her boyfriend's parents are taking them to a game in Mississippi the night before. She said she'll try to, but it'll probably end up being a no-go. >:

Bacon and maple syrup, WOOOO! :D

Hey~ This is Spain. (It feels so weird to call myself that... and it makes me want to switch accounts....)

As far as I know, Italy's planning on bringing us pasta.

AND, America, you and England, when you come visit me tomorrow, I'm gonna stop by the grocery store on the way back after I've picked you up or something and pick up some stuff and we can experiment with this way that my mom told me to make the churros. It'll be like... a jillion times easier than what I was planning and I want you guys to be with me and let me know what you think of how they turn out. &hearts

That sounds good to me! :D I can't wait to taste them!

I HAVE APPLES TO APPLES!

[imbusyreading.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the message! I haven't been keeping up with this too well..
I'm totally coming to this!

I have Apples to Apples! It's the Party box one too~ I'll bring it!

I won't be cosplaying, but I'll bring something to eat/drink!

So excited to meet RL Hetalia fans~

[hetalia17.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Thanks so much for bringing it! xD And I'm excited to meet you too. We'll have to apply a Nation name to you anyways, just because. XD

Re: I HAVE APPLES TO APPLES!

[imbusyreading.livejournal.com]

Hmm, well I'll probably wear something England related and I have green eyes. I could wear pony-tails and be casual female England.

Baking cookies with Norwegian flags on them as we speak. I've got my iPod and it has like 60 anime themesongs on it if anyone is interested. Will add both Hetalia themesongs to that playlist.
