I think it's wonderful you guys throw a party for us new feathers. It's very nice of you guys. Can't wait for it.

[Huh, a written message. She doesn't have a pen around at the moment, though, so she'll just stick to voice.]

Will we be seeing you there then?

I hope so! A Hawaiian-themed party sounds fun too. Haven't been to one of those in awhile.

I sure hope it turns out as fun as we're making it sound too. But that's only possible if lots of people turn up.

I'm sure it will. I've had a few people mention the party to me and it seems like it's a highly anticipated event.

Besides, who doesn't like a good party?

I mean this is the first time I've ever heard of the event and I'm very excited for it. I'll definitely be there.

Glad to hear that! I don't believe I got your name, though-- who should I look out for at the party?

[Written] shadedsunlight July 20 2011, 09:49:49 UTC

I'm Ginia.

[voice] liketofu July 20 2011, 09:52:58 UTC

Good to meet you, Ginia! I'm Rise.

Hey, um...mind if I ask you something?

[Written] shadedsunlight July 20 2011, 09:54:33 UTC

Nice to meet you, Rise.

Sure thing. What is it?

[voice] liketofu July 20 2011, 09:57:03 UTC

You said you'd gone to parties before with this kind of theme. How were they like? Um...like the deco, stuff like that?

It's my first time organising a Hawaiian party so I'd like to hear what other people enjoy about them. You know, so I can try to make it as fun as I can.

[Written] shadedsunlight July 20 2011, 10:06:43 UTC

Sure thing.

I think the biggest thing people associate with Hawaiian themes are leis. Traditionally they're given as signs of affection when one arrives in Hawaii so maybe put one on each guest as they arrive at the party?. They're usually made out of real flowers, but plastic ones are common too. It'll mostly depend on what you can find around here.

After that, think tropical. Bright, tropical flowers, palm trees, pineapples, coconuts. There's an association with grass skirts and coconut bras on hula dancers.

As a fun bit, the common greeting in Hawaii is "aloha". It means hello and goodbye but also means peace and love.

[Oh, wow. Think think think]

Got it. It might be a bit more difficult getting someone to dance the hula here but I think we can manage most of the rest. Thanks, Ginia.

[written] shadedsunlight July 20 2011, 10:33:59 UTC

I wouldn't worry so much about the hula part. Though you could always have limbo dancing.

[voice] liketofu July 20 2011, 10:36:05 UTC

With fitting music!
