GAIAN PIZZA PARTY @ METROCON Got your attention? Good.

Yes, that's right. We'll be having a pizza party for Gaians and friends. This party also includes a gamecube and music, so come join in on the fun. :3
Have your badge handy and come looking for us around the convention.
[Destruction Pancake will be in the video game room at 2pm and 4pm on Saturday, and 6pm on Friday] When you find us, donate money to the pizza fund, and we should have the pizza in by time the meeting starts ^_^ *OR You can donate at the door. Either way, if you haven't donated, you're not getting pizza.

In order to prevent stragglers, you MUST have your Gaian ID badge (your own, or our *pre-made ones for you). If you have a friend (or more than one) who goes everywhere with you at the con, then they may join too, but they're helping pay for the pizza.


It's been decided Saturday at 7:45 (If Anime Idol is still going on, come to the party whenever it's over) in Dashren Nolan's hotel room. Unless posted otherwise. Please respect the room, and follow these rules.
RULES

1. NO ALCOHOL. This is a pg-13 website, and thus nothing over this rating will be permitted.
2. BE RESPECTFUL. This is a nice offer from Dash put up in his own room, we don't want to be charged for any damage. So please stay out of other's personal space and belongings.
3. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE YOU. At any time, if we find you breaking any of the rules (or you come in already smashed), we will not let you stay and/or by any means necessary, we will remove you from the room. We're trying to have a fun and safe meeting.
4. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR BELONGINGS Before you ask, no, we will NOT hold your loot or any of your belongings. Please keep your stuff with you at all times. We are not held responsible for your items being lost/stolen.
5. NO FIGHTS This is self-explanitory. If you start feeling like you're going to argue, please remove yourself from the party until you're cooled down.
6. CONTRACT Oooh, big scary word, right? By showing up at our party you are agreeing to all the rules. They may be strict, but we want no arguements with you when you come in.
7. Give us your pizza money at the door. Or if you feel that you may not have any left by then, give it to us when you find us for the hotel room; and we'll mark it off on your badge.
...if you happen to have a cheap, tiny watergun, I suggest you bring it..

I'm also going also. 3nodding I should be going as kurenai.

*raises hand again* Will most likely be at MetroCon this year too. It was too much fun last year to miss it. Once again, I'll be spending most of my time in the Artist Alley with my friend who'll have a table. I'm not sure who I'll be cosplaying as... that depends on how much time I can put into costuming before then.

I think I'm going to Metrocon this year, since it's so early! whee Last year I went as Ichigo, did anyone see me? XD

Let me know when you know for sure and I'll add ya to the list. ;D

Do you have pictures? I may have,I just don't remember off the top of my head.Oh,I won't be going this year.I have to miss it unfortunately.I'll be out of state.But if anyone is going to the Final Fantasy Ball,please tell me how it goes!I'm really bummed about missing is this year....

I haven't gone to a Convention for two years! I'm really hoping to go to the MetroCon. It'll be the second time I go to any convention (My first was the MegaCon). If I do I'll be Edward Elric with black hair lol. First time Cosplaying at a Con! YES!!

Yay!Despite what I said originally,I might be going to Metrocon after all!YAy! 3nodding whee 3nodding
