Multicultural Fair! [The Gym - After Classes]

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

The benefit of doing something like this for the second time meant that Joan and Turtle had a much easier time of setting things up since they knew what worked and what didn't.

Turtle had, once again, provided decorations from Turtle & Canary. There was the requisite refreshment table, though it was primarily there to provide beverages, since most of the booths featured culturally appropriate food.

After set up was complete, Joan and Turtle sat down to catch up while they waited for the fair to begin.


[wait for the ocd or Turtle will kick you in the shin OCD up! No shins were harmed in the making of this post!]

Arrive and Mingle -- 09/09.

At least a few sets of the bleachers were pulled out in case anyone just wanted to sit and watch, but what fun was that? The place was decorated to match the Fair, and it was a great place to just hang out and chat with people before checking out the booths.

Work was done, the sorority was later, and she was very fond of cultures, so Valentine made some time to swing by the gym, nibbling on a cookie was she drifted around with interest.

Jack was mostly there so he could watch in fascinated horror -- or horrified fascination -- if Miss Liddell decided to talk again. (He'd gained a sense of humor about it, though he still thought her concept of their time ludicrous.)

Still. There was food, there was people, and so there was Jack, roaming the tables with bright eyes.

Ender came upon the fair for about the same reasons Val did; mostly to keep his eyes open, and to ensure that everyone was still aware he was alive and around - just as much as he liked.

He passed from table to table, stopping for a time to examine each.

Alex decided to check out the fair since the Alpha Beta Gremlin meeting was later on. She helped herself to a beverage, wondering where she should start.

There was another gathering taking place and, again, this one looked nothing like the ceremonies he'd taken part in. It was organized but in a chaotic way and everyone was talking. They weren't all waiting for one person to speak.

Jonas had looked up the word multiculutral the other night so he'd know what he was going to and, after finding out the meaning, figured that attending would be beneficial. As he walked around, squinting at unfamiliar words and struggling to understand, he wondered if this would beneficial with a side helping of exhausting.

Mat had learned that if he wandered around enough, he would eventually discover people giving out free food.

So here he was, looking for free food.

Finding out more about different cultures seemed like a perfect way to spend the afternoon. Leto had picked up some refreshments, and then wandered around to see if anything caught his interest.

Ellie had enjoyed the last multicultural fair for the most part, so she decided to check this one out as well.

Didi liked fairs, carnivals, dances ... anything where there were people enjoying being alive, she tended to turn up.

Hence, Multicultural Fair.

She adjusted her top hat and started poking around the booths.

Dinah was on her lunch break from work, and checking out the food, mostly. Although she wasn't eating gaaagh again.

Unless someone dare her to.

Angela didn't have anywhere to be until the sorority meeting later, so multicultural fair it was.

She always loved being able to travel, and this was about the closest she was getting right now, so she was cheerfully picking at the food they were giving out, before stopping at some of the booths.

Hannibal was there for the food. He wasn't all that into learning about other places but he was definitely around for the food. He was still growing.

And he was hungry.

It was a busy day for Raven. After class, speaking to Nick, and the Magic Reserves meeting, she stopped by the Multicultural Fair to see what was there.

Karla ran in, a few minutes late. After the Magic Reserves meeting, she'd desperately needed a shower. Next time, no foodfights on the day I need to do other things right after! she thought, ducking past booths to get to her own.

Well, and occasionally veering off to grab something to eat. Hey, she was hungry!

Emma had time between classes and her sorority meeting, so she decided to check out the multicultural fair. At the very least to swing by Karla's booth, and get some free food.

She wandered between the tables, looking with interest at the people around her.

Chuck wasn't entirely sure what he was expecting from a multicultural fair at a school like this one... But somehow, it wasn't this.

Which didn't mean he wasn't kind of in awe of a lot of it, especially all the places he'd never heard of, and was sure didn't exist. Not back home, anyway.

Refreshments -- 09/09

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

The refreshment table offered coffee, tea, water and punch (of the non-spiked variety).

Once again, the table features Cheeses of Wisconsin (http://www.wisconsincheese.com/isapi/isapi.dll) and Maryland Crab Dip (http://www.johnnyroadtrip.com/tailgating/recipes/crabdip.htm) along with an assortment of crackers.

Talk to Turtle -- 09/09

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

For the most part, Turtle was staying stationed by her section of the refreshments tables, happy to tell anyone at all about Wisconsin and its amazing cheeses.

She could probably talk about cows a little bit, too. She once kicked a cow in the shins. It was not as pleasant as you might imagine.

Talk to Joan -- 09/09

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

Joan was pleased by the variety of booths available this time and hoping the fair would be well attended.

The MultiCultural Fair Booths! -- 09/09.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Set up around the gym are several tables for people to set up their displays of their culture! Each booth will be getting a separate OCD for them to ping into, describe their booth, and then people can ping in to react and response. Delicious OCD! OM NOM NOM.
