HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT SOON??? BUT SEEING AS THE CON IS CANCELED SO IS THE GATHERING.[/U][/B]

    Hello everyone! Stitchez from AM2 year 1, back in the fray and leading the Saturday (tentative based on the day we hopefully get our panel back) Hetalia Gathering! Time for this gathering is still undecided since we don't know what slot the panel will be given but my Hungary and I are glad to be back for year 3 to help run a gathering and another Hetalia Q&A panel just like year 1! We're hoping to have the panel before the gathering, that way we can plug and remind the audience and then sort of lead the way to the area as well once we leave the panel room.

    Now due to the fact we also have a Cosplay Dating Game panel we're hoping for on Sunday I will not be saying for sure that we'll lead that one as well (as there usually is 2 days worth of gathering for hetalia) since we have plans both before and after that panel.

    Now then onto the nitty gritty -

    [U]Details[/U]
    DAY: August 24th aka Saturday aka 2nd day of con
    TIME: ??? (time undecided until panel times are approved, open to suggestions of times)
    LOCATION: In front of the water fountain, as usual!

    [U]Rules[/U]
    1) Be kind and courteous, do unto others as you'd have them do unto you, and all that jazz. Don't glomp or touch people without permission, don't grab their clothing to get their attention and don't yell annoyingly into their ears "DAZEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11oneoneevelevn". Sorry, but it ain't that cute. Don't steal or kick their things, don't start fights over stupid things. We're all here to have a good time and it'd suck if we had to disperse cause someone likes USUK more then FrUk and they get into a hissy fight over it.
    2) Be quiet when your attention is called for as the meet starts. We'll be announcing various group pictures to be taken (individual characters, groups, and if we have time we'll take pairing requests) and it would suck if you or people around you missed out on some fun posing action cause you were having a shipping war or something.
    3) IC is fine, annoyingly IC is not. Don't be IC all the time guys. It's fun, but it can be annoying. It's cool for during the photo and when you're messing with friends, but being a glaring Russia all the time is gonna freak people out.
    4) RESPECT, have some, please. For other people, their costumes and props, along with you're own. Especially flags. A lot of people look down on Hetalia cosplays because most of the ones they see are the weeabo's who knowing nothing about history beyond what Hetalia has given them and have no respect for the flags they wield. Many Hetalia cosplayers that are on the more serious side look down on their fellows for using them as blankets to sit on and various things, so please, have respect.

  • Awesome!
    Wait, I thought AM2 was on August 23-25?
    I think I'll be cosplaying as Norway or Iceland one of the days, and Romania in another
    day (if there ends up being a gathering for a second day). Don't know which days yet,
    but I do know that I'll be cosplaying in their original outfits.

    So excited! XD

    I forgot to change the dates whoops haha. I just copy pasted my stuff from year 1 since I'm lazy and didnt want to write a new thing out >w>;;; I meant to go grab the correct date then forgot due to talking to poeople about the panel, whoops!!! changing now :>

  • Too bad I won't be going to AM2 T_T I just looked it up but it appears to be very far from the Bay Area, lol XD I would totally join as England :D But if you're attending Sac-Anime you could probably catch me there as England ^w^

  • Great to see somebody starting up the Hetalia gathering for AM2 this year! :)
    If you need anybody for the Hetaila Panel/Cosplay Dating Game, I'd love to participate as either China or Austria~

    For the Hetalia gathering, I may cosplay as Austria this year~ (unless I change my mind when the time comes near)

    BTW, last year (AM2 2012), there were actually 2 Hetalia gatherings held on separate days: Day 2, June 16 and Day 3, June 17. Do you think it's possible to hold 2 gatherings again?

    I'm not quite sure why there were 2 separate gatherings, since clearly Day 2 had a larger group than Day 3, but the gatherings themselves were still small in scale--I don't see why they had to be separated, in terms of group size, though I understand that some people can't make it on certain days...[Reference: [url]http://www.cosplay.com/showthread.php?t=287577][/url]

    I was also one of the original hosts (panel and gatherings) from year 1 of am2 so im glad to be back in control haha. Thank you for the offer, I may contact you about the dating game (we might need people to audition for it) but for the regular hetalia panel we already have a cast picked out, sorry!

    It is entirely possible to hold 2 gatherings! Alas I will be unable to do so. My plan is to head this gathering on day 2 because it will be on the same day as the hetalia panel with the same cast as year 1. Day 3 I will be in One Piece cosplay as I cohost the dating game panel so I can't exactly run a second hetalia gathering. I myself am unsure why exactly there were 2 of them (since i wasnt part of organizing anything for 2012 as I was busy with the hetastuck dating game panel, i suspect it might have something to do with a hetalia panel not run by my group being hosted on day 3??? dont quote me on that though.) but if someone else wants to step up and plan with me theyre more than welcome to head a day 3 gathering and i'll just add it to here and keep track of it to make things easier on everyone since 2 seperate boards for 2 different days would just get hectic!

  • due to the con most likely being canceled this gathering of course will not be happening. on the off chance the con comes from underneath and explodes into being again in the next few weeks i will take the reigns for the gathering again but.... yeah not likely...
