I wanna karaoke Tiny Dancer. 

That'd be fucking epic. Record it and send it to tama:

I'm like Tim McGraw but with a bit more southern accent.

Question: Where do you go hang out at the beach in LA? There's gotta be someplace. I wanna play beach soccer or volleyball. It would be ton of fun going a bunch to the beach, hang out, whatnot.

[StreakInTheSky]

Not exactly sure what you mean about where, but the coast is pretty much miles of public beach, just go west . The areas around the piers have the volleyball nets, so you might want to go to them. I tend to go to the beaches in the South Bay area, just south of metro LA, so if you need help or directions while here, just ask me. Don't know much about other beaches though.

[cool_kickin_dude]

everythings almost set up here..need my bank card to pull it off which costs me another week or two..

i wanna try and get there before the concert starts even though LA is two hours behind my time

BTW, how you guys gonna find us at the airport?

[daigong]

^ You find us. There's so many faces I haven't seen yet. Can't miss The Big Pimps in the JPH!P Logo Tees.

BEACHES. Fo sho we gotta check out Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier, wherever they filmed "Brothers Gotta Work it out" music video by PE.

Is there any rules of BBQing or whatever...we should do 4th of July, toss around the pigskin.

The LA Store here is cool, dope gifts ideas:

[StreakInTheSky]

I don't think the beaches in LA actually close, but there's no loitering between 12am-6am, which I have no idea what that means. Never really been to a beach after 10pm.

I think the location of an afterparty will have to depend on how many people go, who's going, what people want to do, etc. I'm not really that familiar with the metro LA nightlife scene. But I do know of a karaoke place in little tokyo with large rooms. There's also lots of places to eat, everywhere.

As for shopping, there's 3rd Street in Santa Monica, Beverly Center, and Citywalk.

This is all in LA btw, there's still a whole lot of crap in the OC for people willing to travel for a little bit. But I don't think it's really worth it unless you're going to Disneyland or something.

Like I said in the other thread, Yelp.com is a good resource for finding places. Can see ratings and and filter by location and price.

[sayahchan]

lol@ the idea of bar sinister!!

A goth bar!

oh I love you....

well I know the only days I am staying out past 10 pm is friday and saturday, With recent events my funds are even lower then I hoped unless I pull mircle money outta my butt..... but thrusdayI wanna be hone early for gettin up earlies on friday for the concert, and on sunday I am gonna need rest.

HEADS UP Hello! Party news 

281... *FAINTS*
It's only been a month since the last update, but the number of RSVP's has more than doubled since then. Thank you to everyone who has been helping to spread the word!! Please continue to do so. <3


LOCATION INFO YAYZ
So we were actually able to visit the Sheraton location this Saturday. We bring you more precise information on how to get there:


- From the CONVENTION CENTER, walk towards the skyscrapers to the corner of Flower Street and 12th Street. Cross to the other side and turn LEFT (on Flower). From there, just go straight until you get to 8th. There will be a Macy's Plaza on the corner. Turn RIGHT at the Macy's and go in through the main entrance. Inside the Macy's plaza you will see the entrance to the Sheraton on the LEFT.


Here is some map help:
Google Maps Street View


Map photo with labeled entrances
http://party.hello-ranking.com/map.png

- INSIDE THE SHERATON follow the striped carpet to the end and turn left, where you will see escalators going down. Go down TWO floors and follow the Hello! Party signage to the California Ballroom (If you get lost, just ask Sheraton employees how to get to the California Ballroom). Be sure to check in and choose your favorite member at the entrace!


We are working on having signage at the hotel to direct people where to go to get to the ballroom, but they may be a bit small (and thus, hard to see). Just look for graphics that look like the website (http://party.hello-ranking.com/)!


PARKING WTF?
I got a couple people asking questions about parking. I don't really know that people will need to park at the Sheraton because it's so close to the Convention Center (10 minute walk at *most*), but I got the info just in case.


There is a parking garage at the Macy's (that is attached to the Sheraton), the details are as follows:
- 3 Hours free with validation (i.e. you can only get validation from Macy's, Bally's or GMC)
- Regular price: $2.50 for every 12 minutes (maximum of $28)
- Early bird special: $11 flat rate if you park before 10am.


According to this review, there is a parking garage that charges a $2 flat rate after 4pm. It seems to be right across the street from the Macy's Plaza (but I don't remember seeing it while I was there). It doesn't have very many spaces, though.
http://www.yelp.com/biz/central-parking-systems-los-angeles-2

Street parking is FREE after 6pm. Before 6pm, it's $0.25 for 15 minutes (so $1 per hour).


FOOD COURT FTW!
Since the main event begins at 7pm (sharp) and doesn't break until 10pm (excluding a short intermission), we recommend people eat before they show up to the party. Lucky for you, this possible complication has been made easy by the unexpected presence of a food court! Since the Sheraton turned out to be connected to a Macy's Center (which is really like a miniature Mall), there is a food court a few paces away from the entrance to the hotel. YAY!


I expect the food court will be closed by 10pm, though, so once again I must suggest eating *before* Hello! Party begins. Just some friendly advice. :3



But don't worry, we'll still love you all the same just for showing up!


TWITTER LOVE <3
If we've got any Twitter users around, just letting you know that if you tweet anything related Hello! Party, it would be awesome if you could use the hashtag, #helloparty :3 This way everyone can view related tweets with a simple search! And who knows, we may just aggregate tweets into something cool.


Also, Flickr users can tag future photos of the event with "Hello! Party 2009," but I'll just announce that at the event since there are no photos yet. xD


So this is the last major update you will get from us. I'll send out one more e-mail about discographies soon! We are so looking forward to meeting you all!! Feel free to say hi to us, we don't bite (unless you're covered in cheese). :3


See you there,
Jen & Bryan


P.S. I forgot to mention, the e-mail party@hello-ranking.com wasn't working at first, but we did fix it shortly after the first update. Sorry to those that had to find a work-around way of contacting us! ^^;

I edited some parts lol, sign up and get the email. But this is a general info for those going or are interested. RSVP!
