Hetalia: Axis Powers 2012!!

[lily on coffee]

sorry this is our first years so what exactly is the date time and place are you guy considering? any time is fine with us but we would like to know to build our schedule around it.

Last year the gathering was on Sunday at 11am or something, right? Personally that time and day sounds fine for me. If anything, the location might be in question by the time the con happens. I know that the fountain out front is gone now, but I don't know what that entire area will look like come Memorial Day Weekend. I've seen the specs for the future look of the convention center somewhere on the forums here, so we can get at least an idea of how much room there will be out front.

I dunno, maybe it's too early to tell right now and I'm just rambling. XD Basically, time and day from last year sounds good to me, but maybe later (based on what people think and what we're told about the look of the convention center) we can decide on the exact location. *shrug*

cool, sunday it is. i'll check back for location. oh and i'll bring sweden instead of hong kong
so excited about the con :D :D :D

[obliviousedward]

LOL, keep in mind I'm not the gathering's organizer! XD Ultimately it will be left up to that person. (But unless anyone objects or proposes another day, I think Sunday is a safe bet. :P)

Sunday sounds awsome because I am going to the Bleach gathering and I think it might be on Sat in the late afternoon. Hetalia is my obsession and I don't want to miss it. However i am already signed up for the Bleach gathering. So Sunday works for me and 11 sounds good. I also think most of the other big gatherings wll be on Sat.

Yes, there are a lot of big gatherings on Saturday.  So is everyone okay with Sunday at 11am?  As for the location, yeah....I heard about the removal of the fountains, ect.  I know Bsapphire was going to keep us organizers posted regarding photoshoot locations....but at the moment, we can stick with our location from last year, which was: FiF CE = Fountains in Front (Convention Entrance).  After our time is up, if we still have more shots to do, is everyone okay with moving to the Aztec/snake/giant poo statue?  For those of you not familiar with it, it is a statue with some park-ish area around it and it is a very short walking distance from the convention center.  We would move en masse, so even if a few people don't know how to get there, we should all make it just fine.  So, the rundown:

Day: Sunday
Time: 11am
Place: FiF CE = Fountains in Front (Convention Entrance)
Post-photoshoot location: Aztec/snake/giant poo statue

Sounds good to me! :D

11 mite b a bit too early no? i mean ppl mite wake up late or mite hav to take a while to get ready..

[Haunterluvcookies]

[MidnightPrincess94]

MidnightPrincess94, the problem with going to a later time on Sunday is that we start running into other gatherings.  The Kuro photoshoot is at 3:30pm on Sunday, and I know we have Hetalia people who want to be in that.  Trinity Blood is aiming for 1:30pm, and we have a few Hetalia people (including myself) that are a part of that shoot.  Afternoon/late afternoon photoshoots are very popular, and given the amount of people that the Hetalia shoot always has, trying to have a shoot when everyone else is/or during a busy Con time is problematic.  :-[

[Haunterluvcookies]

I know the Shonen Jump is later that day as well I would like to attend. Early sounds best because it gives us more time to do a whole shoot without people running off in the middle of it. Sorry.

Well, this will be my first Hetalia Gathering at Fanime (I've gone two years already, but just got a useable China cosplay last year, but couldn't go since FMA was around the same time, so I went to the Hetalia Gathering for SacAnime). So I hope this will be as memorable, as I come as China-aru!

I can see IF I can pack an extra cosplay of Prussia! Unfortunately I am kind of dark toned so a white wig would NOT look good on me so I'd prob just be a half-assed Prussia lol

Don't worry about it, we won't judge you!  I for one don't believe in the "only cosplay characters that fit your ethnicity/gender/body type/height" mantra.  You just do what you want to do ;-)

[amandald98]

I'll be coming as America!

[Pika-Ninja]

IF it's the same day as the Hetalia panel (Which i'm in) I'll come and be Hungary. Although Prussia's should watch out. I don't play friendly ;)

[obliviousedward]

Doh! My name's not on the list. Dx

I'm attending as Canada.

[MidnightPrincess94]

yay! im on the list!!!  :D
