The 4th of July meetup has returned and with a new location and theme and along with up and coming cosplay group Haipa Mafia Cosplay to help make your July 4th much funner.

We will be meeting this year at the Aurora Municipal Center at 15151 Alameda Parkway in Aurora, Co nearby the Aurora mall and by the court house for their annual 4th of July event complete with a lightshow, booths, a museum and then some. We will meet at a certain time to set up a spot for us then enjoy the day to see the fireworks. New this year rather than a new location is the meetup will be a cooperation effort with the Haipa Mafia Cosplay group and the meet will have a American Patriotism theme for the day due to it being obviously Independence Day.

Foodwise this meetup will be a potluck event and don't forget them lawn chairs, blankets, and we do need a canopy or a big tent to help kill the elements (which was well learned last year with the rain storms.) along with whatever goodies you all provide.

A little about the group (which I myself is a part of) Haipa Mafia is a cosplay group that sponsors events each month, has cosplay get togethers/contests/photoshoots, etc. and will be posting HMC events on the NDK page and anyone is welcome to join the actual group we just have to get to know you fine people. And we also have private HMC group meetups too along with meetups at NDK, Animeland Wasabi and Starfest. We even have members in certain parts of the world too. Also to be clear on where our spot is simply Look for a American flag and a few signs that is our area for the meetup at the park.

Cosplay contest is cancelled due to lack of entries

Since this 4th of july falls on a monday this year, there's a good chance i might go this year.

Maybe? I would absolutely love to go, but it all depends on when my day off from work is this summer. =D Let's hope Monday and Tuesday, ne?

Hmm... maybe I will participate in the 4th of July this year. I have a Costco membership ^_^ so if someone wants to let me know how much food is needed I can be sure to get plenty for cheap.

O.O I better put this on my Calendar so I can be sure to remember it. <_< My mind tends to forget things quickly when it is stressed out.... stupid moving.

Glad to hear some good reaction for this meetup. Just be advised we'll be in Aurora this year, not Thornton. Just playing with different locals and most of you fine folks are near the Aurora area so its a good thing me thinks.

Something we learned last year was we need a big canopy for our group, possibly a tent. That way we can be away of the elements since it poured really hard last July 4th thus us being sopping wet. And as I stated if the park allows we can make it a BBQ so if they'll allow it someone bring the BBQ's and Burgera and Hot dogs.

The event will be a patriotic theme and since we'll be doing a Cosplay contest there will be a prize for most patriotic cosplay as well as Best in show etc.

Here are a few rules for this event:

1. No outside fireworks: Parks hate it and though I agree they're fun, we don't wanna be kicked out for our own pyro.

2. Keep weapons at home: Norms will call 911 if they see a weaponry so keep them home, its not NDK yet.

3. No Alcohol: You'll be around under 21 folks so keep brewskies home, don't wanna be in trouble for drunken conduct.

4. NO DRAMA- This ruins everything keep your con drama and bf/gf drama elsewhere.

I wanted to bring my rev war America (if fm-anime happens to deliver it by then) but i may do a casual America then. Its Alfreds birthday so I gotta do him lol.

sweet sauce!!!my friends and i have decided to do england,taiwan, and finland!sorta patriotic right?

The Pocky Pirate · « **Reply #10 on:** April 07, 2011, 03:32:04 pm »

Well, if I do go, i might show up with my Majora's Mask or as L (or both), for L is justice and America is also Justice AND Freedom. But that's only if I get the time off to go.

nemisis47 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 07, 2011, 06:54:11 pm »

Pocky Pirate's got my ethos of America!!!

I'm happy we got some good interest thus far.

Lusha · « **Reply #12 on:** April 07, 2011, 07:59:16 pm »

charathepyroqueen · « **Reply #13 on:** April 11, 2011, 07:10:46 pm »

nemisis47 · « **Reply #14 on:** April 12, 2011, 04:47:14 pm »

Around 10ish. Depends on how long the fireworks last. I also just added the cosplay contest entry list. If you are interested in being in the contest, please PM me your name, and what cosplay you are doing.

Proposed possible awards (My idea and may change) is:

Best in show

America's #1 fan (Most partriotic cosplay)

These and other are still being talked to with my group I will keep ya posted gang.

But Like I said on my end, I can't be 100% sure on showing up, but since it does fall on a Monday, there's a good chance I might.
