Hetalia Day '10 - Eugene, Oregon

[Shi_no_Akuma]

If needed, I can probably give two people a ride from Roseburg.

And I really can't cook. .__. So unless I can bring cake, I don't think I'll bring anything~

You? Can't cook? BLATANT LIES.

But if you're only saying that because you're gonna give the cake to me, that's fine. <3

Okay, so maybe I can.
But I don't like cooking. |D Srsly. I prefer baking.
And why would I surrender cake to you?

Bah, baking, cooking. xD

And because I beat you at chess? :3

[Shi_no_Akuma]

Bah, baking, cooking. xD

And because I beat you at chess? :3

xD Yup. There's a difference. Or did your 'awesome' self forget that?

I won't even start to go into the illegal move part. So what happens if I win?

[Malaria]

I'll probably make this as Austria.

From what I remember of Eugene public transport, Alton Baker is easier to bus to than Hendricks Park, in case that's a factor for anyone.

[GenkiIchigo]

Alton baker is easier. Hendricks doesn't have a bus route now (not one that gets really close anyway). XD And yayyyyyyy Malaria~ 8D

Hey, you made the illegal move.

And yay, Malaria!

[Malaria]

Genki: Whoooo Eugene budget issues! That was my favorite part of being a carless teen in Eugene, lemme tell you. XD

Oh, should also add that meeting earlier in the day is better. That late in October the sun sets around 6/6:30 at the latest, yeah? I dunno how much you guys wanna be out past sunset in any of Eugene's parks. I, for one, am not super fond of crackheads, hobos OR crackhead hobos.

I was thinking the same thing about times. 6 is like, the very latest we should end for sure~ Uuugh crackhead hobos.

And yes, yayyyy Eugene budget issues! They've cut sooo many bus routes. So uncool~ Not that I ride the bus, but Oni Kitsune does. XD

Oh, and I'm gonna modify this to say that she and I will bring country appropriate entrees, or an entree and a salad, once we figure out who the heck she's gonna be. X3

[Fuyuko]

Alright, Malaria! I'm happy you might be able to come this time. : D

And yes, I agree that Alton Baker would be easier for some of us to get to but it's up to Kyo since she's in charge of this. :3

[KyoKyo866]

Hurray! I attracted Malaria, the big fish of planning hetalia events *feels special*

But since I'm not native Eugene, the input of this is most appreciated! Anywho, thats a good point when one thinks about it. All right, calling to vote, who agrees the time should be changed to 12-5 pm? And also vote numba two, who thinks the event should be held at Alton Baker park?

[Malaria]

>/////< You guys make me feel more important than I deserve.

I like 12-5. Since this is during school season, I'll probably be awake by then. : D
Alton Baker, but hopefully in the picnic shelter thing and not in the duck poop areas.

[zetetic]

- i feel like Canada right now.._

SO anyway, greetings and all that fun shiz. This is well actually I don't know who I'm going to be. I'd like to be N.Italy but.. I'm not too sure about that. I don't know the Eugene area that well but I think overall this is a great idea. I'm going to try and help out as much as I can.

Ohhh POT LUCK. In that case I should be England or Germany since I can't cook worth.....well the oil that goes in the pan. ^ ^.

[KyoKyo866]

Dun worry i duno eugene well either xD thats the great thing bout maps on da internet though anywho, if ya dont want to really cook anything country wise thats fine, fast food stuff is always great like that, um, 50 mcnugget thing for 10 dolla at mcdonalds at moment (which, for even a few cents cheaper you can get 50 spicy chicken nuggets from wendys!) And that goes for ya'll .. drinks would be nice too probably xD

[GenkiIchigo]

Yeah, the picnic shelter at Alton baker is nice~ It's in a big area too, and a was away from the duck poop areas! And the geese... -shudder-

I totally vote for the 12-5 thing~ Whatever's best for everyone else, since I live here and it's easy for me to get there. XD

[Shi_no_Akuma]

I don't know Eugene all that well, so I'm depending on a GPS to make sure I don't get lost. So I don't really care where it's held at~

And I vote for 12-5. :3

[MiriaRose]

We'll bring batteries this time so it doesn't die.

Add another vote for 12-5. :3

EDIT: I meant 12-5. Seriously ^^;;

[Fuyuko]

You have my vote for 12-5 as well! And a big YES for Alton Baker! x3

So, since most of us are ok with that plan, I'll go update this on the FB group as well as check to see if any others have confirmed attending~

[StarryShay]

I can come as Belarus if I could roadtrip it up there with someone > u <

[AgehaIX]

dont you mean 'down there?' silly shay.

[Chibiorochimaru]

-whine whine whine- I'm not on the list yet ;o;
And It is the 24th right >>;;

[GenkiIchigo]

-whine whine whine- I'm not on the list yet ;o;
And It is the 24th right >>;;

Yep! The 24th~

Also, Oni Kitsune has settled on being Austria. We're going to bring Hungarian cucumber salad and chicken strudel~

[Malaria]

Rochi: I don't think Kyo's been on. o.o

I have no idea what I'll be making. : D I don't eat meat or wheat, so German food and Austria's ridiculous desserts are no-go for me. I could go easy-and-Russian and make beet salad. How do y'all feel about beets?
Failing that, I can make up a ton of tofu to accommodate the rest of the health fascists.

[Chibiorochimaru]

I could make olive bread ><! (its much better then it sounds)
If I got off my butt and actually picked up my grandmothers cookbook I could easily make something more French >> (be scared)

[GenkiIchigo]

@Malaria: Personally, I love beets~ X3

@Chibiorochimaru: Olive bread sounds yummy~ n.n

[Saki-the-cat]

Ok, now i don't know what i should make ;w;

[GenkiIchigo]

Ok, now i don't know what i should make ;w;

Aww at least there's over a month to decide? 8D

[Saki-the-cat]

Meh, that's true.

[Chibiorochimaru]

Ok, now i don't know what i should make ;w;

-holds up cook book- Magicly find a way here and cook with me >>; I'll need the help

[KyoKyo866]

Sorry bout that chibi! I realize i had forgotten D: thank you for showing me the error of my ways! But now I fixed it : D

[Chibiorochimaru]

Thank you kyo x3

[Fuyuko]

Oh right... food. 'w';
I suppose I could make pancakes again but I want to be a little more creative than that... Time to research traditional Canadian cuisine~ ^.^

[Malaria]

Genki: That is one vote for beets!

Fuyu: POUTINE POUTINE POUTINE
even if I can't eat it POUTINE

[Fuyuko]

...Poutine it is? owo

[goatchild]

Alton Baker, but hopefully in the picnic shelter thing and not in the duck poop areas.

There's a possibility that you have to actually reserve the shelters, especially for a group this big. I could be wrong, but it would be wise to check. We could of course just steal an empty one, but if another group shows up and says they have it reserved, we have to leave. Best to avoid that situation.

It is highly unlikely that I will go, btw. I have a con that next weekend so spending money to get down to Eugene is pretty unlikely. >> But if I do go I'll be Norway and force Malaria to be Sealand bwahaha

Beets are delicious. <3 Barszcz.

I have a 50% success rate with cooking and so I have no idea what to bring. Do pommes frittes count as German food if I call them pommes frittes?

[StarryShay]

If I end up getting a ride with someone, I can supply you all with Belarusian Draniki.

[Fuyuko]

So apparently we do need to reserve a shelter if we want to use one for this event. I also read that the planner is required to have a park rental permit which costs money, and that they have to call the rental coordinator in order to confirm the date and location, and then come up with a price for the shelter.

@Kyo: So, do we want to try that out or go with another plan? Either way, if we want to use a shelter in any other park, we still have to rent one. I can give you the link to all the info if you still want to go through with it? We can each pitch in if it's needed.

[MiriaRose]

FIND A RIDE WITH SOMEONE, STAT. I love those.  

I'm looking up German food recipes right now~

EDIT: Decided I'll bring Maultaschen. They're like pierogi enough that I won't screw them up~

[AgehaIX]

I hate cooking ;-;

KYO, GET IN THE KITCHEN AND COOK US SOMETHING!

[Malaria]

I hate cooking ;-;

KYO, GET IN THE KITCHEN AND COOK US SOMETHING!

Bring drinks? A thermos of something hot would be nice.

[AgehaIX]

Drinks I can do! Thanks, Malaria!


What do yall enjoy? hot/cold, tea/juice/hot chocolate ect ect?

[MiriaRose]

Hot. It'll probably be cold that day.

[Malaria]

Even if it isn't cold out, it's always the weather for hot tea. Always.
But never iced tea because iced tea is almost always icky and I will not be convinced otherwise. 3<

[MiriaRose]

Pfffft! Iced tea is alright, sometimes.

But I prefer hot tea. Earl Grey, specifically. :3

[GenkiIchigo]

Oh, I'll bring a big thing of water too~ I did that for the last Eugene meet-up that I went to. I also have left over paper plates, bowls, cups and some plastic cutlery, so I can bring those as well. n.n

[KyoKyo866]

Hey sorry for the nonresponsiveness since i was gone from a day or so

But Fuyuko thats a really good point... I'm flat broke at the moment so I cant exactly get a permit so... So! Does anyone have any Plan B's for the destination?

[GenkiIchigo]

Haha it's okay. Do we know how much a permit would be? Is it super expensive? -knows nothing of this stuff- I was trying to think of a plan B last night... I'll keep thinking, and check some other stuff out, just in case. n.n

Edit: Also, if the number of people is under a certain amount... I forgot what it is... Like 20 or something, I don't think that we need a permit. The only problem would be if the shelter was reserved for another event. As long as it isn't raining, we probably wouldn't absolutely need the shelter. I'm just thinking aloud~ XD

[Malaria]

I'm willing to risk going to Alton Baker and just hanging out on the grass. If it rains, meetup gets cut tragically short. We really don't have a lot of options in terms of covered public spaces.

[MiriaRose]

. . We could bring a giant tent in case it rains?

[StarryShay]

xDDD
Oh you~

All the Russia's can hide in my dres-- The tent idea is prolly less creepy. o x o
