Halien Party - Chicago, Labor Day weekend, 8-31-13

[Haleylvr4evr]

^^ Birthday Gift, eight days early??
speaking of which...Haleylvr4evr...you mentioned you might like to bring a cake or cookies. Could it be a HAPPY BIRTHDAY HALEY CAKE?

Sure! I still need alot of practice with writing in frosting but since I am working in a bakeshop I should be able to learn better

And yes, I would love to be a part of a scrapbook/present!

Not sure whether it's considered "kosher" to add comments to the "Pictures" threads, so I'm going to put them here, cuz it relates -- sorta.

Himm2, I've seen the things you've uploaded in the "Pictures of Haley." I've got a couple of questions, one specific to Haley, the other general:

1.) Are they items that you intend for display when you get your "Haley Exhibit" installed at the Wheeling Museum?

2.) Roughly, what is the population size of Wheeling?

The Historical Museum has quite a Haley Reinhart photo & news collection already. Guess they're waiting until Haley gets her first Grammy to display it all.
2.) Roughly, what is the population size of Wheeling?
33,847

Mr. Himm2, I apologize for not getting the museum's name correct. I'm guessing that you aren't on the committee that decides when exhibits go on display -- otherwise, the "Haley" exhibit would already be up. Or maybe they have certain criteria defining "historical" that's not known to the Wheeling public.

That sounds like a nice size town -- or "village." Large enough to not know exactly what everyone else is doing, but small enough to have a nice sense of community. Is the designation of "village" specific to some Illinois code?

For the book - I'm thinking the easiest way to do it is for each person to prepare as many 8 1/2 x 11" pages as they'd like - Artwork, Poems, Stories, Letters, Pictures, anything really. I'll find a nice scrapbook to put the pages in, and get page protectors to put the pages into once we all get to Wheeling. If you are going to participate, PM me the number of pages you think you'll be preparing, so I can have enough protectors. I think Haley will like it.

Edit to add: If you're not going, but would like to mail me a page, please PM me and I'll give you an address to send it to once you're done. I will need the pages by Wed. 8/28 if you're mailing to me

Talk about pressure..hehe I'm not very creative. I'll have to give this some thought.......I might just write a "fan" letter to her.

There's 5 Haliens that we haven't heard from in awhile about this Haley Shindig/pre-birthday party weekend after they initially confirmed they were in or most likely in: RTBaker, Swansteel, Buzzenator, Miguel, coolnebguy, and Blue22HR. Any new info from you folks or will you signup closer to Labor Day? Anybody new ready to jump on the Haley/Midnight bandwagon?

Man, you're really keeping an eye on folks!

I haven't replied because I need to dig up my ticket information. I think I get in around 2:30 on Saturday. I had thought about moving the flight to Friday, but there is a $200 change-flight fee.
