Animazement? Pella festival?
#1: Animazement)
So, I had kind of put this idea off after getting my "go adventuring" urge drastically reduced after Detour, and seeing a lot of people having money constraints. But, the thing is, I've been wanting to go gem hunting in Hiddenite, NC (and surrounding areas) for at least 4 years now, and it is about 200 miles west of where Animazement (and some DA friends I have) are.
I was wondering if that appeals to anyone at all. O_o Animazement is a pretty big con and known for its japanese guests and millions of american VAs that come (that aren't the ones that frequent the midwest).
It is also over Memorial Day weekend, if that makes any difference.
Let me know, eh? I wouldn't want to drive all that way myself, I've found from Detour. x_x
#2: Pella Tulip Festival)
The Pella Tulip Festival is a Tulip Festival in the town of Pella, Iowa, a very dutchy place (Freisian, to be precise, though). It's still so religious that they don't have hte festival on Sunday--it's Thurs through Sat, and THIS thurs - sat, to be exact. (6 - 8?)
I've always wanted to go. SInce i might move away this summer, I thought it would make more sense to go now rather than later.
But I have no way to get there. I thought I would just go for a day and have a lot of fun, maybe in a costume (since the townsfolk dress up, too).
It might be fun to go during other fests and celebrations they have throughout the summer, but the tulip one is the biggest. Also, they don't dress up during not-festival, though the flowers might still be there. :)
Would anyone want to go (and has a way to)? I know it's last minute, but I didn't think anyone else would want to go. I thought I'd ask, though. If you want to, let me know now rather than later, because i realized today that I work basically during the whole thing right now. .__.
Let me know if either of these interest anybody. Thanks~~
