[omgcpla]

Hey! Do you mind signal boosting the omgcplondon meet-up this Saturday 25th May? We're meeting in the Southbank Centre in London 1-4pm and will be just chilling, probably playing check please themed games and eating lots of food. Any UK based CP fans are more than welcome! Cheers!

Hey UK Wellies (and I don’t mean the rain boots)! There’s a meetup happening just for you in London! We’re 8 hours behind you so hopefully you see this in time to make it to Southbank Centre 😬

🏒♥️

3rd Anniversary Meet-Up

Wow! We’re turning 3 on Saturday 25th May!

To celebrate we’re meeting up in the London SouthBank Centre, Waterloo, between 1 and 4pm and depending on how we feel we might go for pizza afterwards :) Closest tube station is Waterloo.

If you’re new to Check Please or if you’ve been around a while we’d love to see you there! So if you’ve come along to any of our previous meet-ups or not, everyone is welcome!

We shall eat lots of food, play some Check Please games that @itsybittle has made and chat about the comic we all love :)

We tend to meet on the 5th Floor Terrace but if this is out of action we’ll update the blog with where we’ll be.

Even if you cant make the meet-up please can you share to anyone who you think might be interested in coming along.

Cheers!

@hazelwickpepperweb and @itsybittle

Check Please @ Anime Expo! 

Hello! I’ll be at Anime Expo next weekend! ★I’ll be in the exhibitor’s hall at Booth 1027 & 1127★ (aka NOT the artist alley.) New: patches, pins, and charms for the og SMH crew!

[omgcpla]

Hello folks. Sorry we fell off the face of the earth. If anyone is planning a meet up at AX, we will boost the heck out of it.

[omgcpla]

Just a heads up, our favorite webcomic author ngozi is going to be at anime expo in july!

Yes! Good point!

Anime Expo is July 1-4th and is held at the LA Convention Center downtown. The main organizers of this group don’t currently have plans to attend the con (*sideeyes last year’s long lines and overcrowding*) but we’ll keep you posted. If anyone wants to take point on organizing a meetup at the con we will support the hell out of that! 

[omgcpla]

Relevant to our interests! You can purchase tickets through the NHL site or find cheaper (shirtless) options at sites like Seat Geek. A few of us plan on attending so maybe we can organize a mini meetup before or after the game depending on the level of interest. Let us know if you’re going or if you have any questions.

[omgcpla]

Yo @lauralex and @uglyasanalibi will be sitting in section 321. Message us if you want to meet up before and/or during an intermission and we can work out logistics! 

[omgthankyouplease]

Have you ever wanted to let Ngozi know how thankful you are for Check, Please and more? Well now is your chance. I would like the fandom to join me in creating a book for her filled with letters and art showing our love and thanks. I will collect all your letters and art and then put them into a book which I will then give to her at ECCC next year. I know many of us are super proud and love Ngozi lets take the chance and show her!

Where to send 

Send all your letters and fanart to [email protected]

Rules:

Letter length: Please please try and keep your letter no longer than 500 words there’s only so many pages I can include in the book unfortunately. 

Fanart: I would really like to keep everything pg13!

Important dates:

All letters and fanart need to be sent in by January 28th by 12:00 am EST!!!

Questions:

Check Please Meet LA

Hey so I’ve seen a London group form and I want to start a group in Los Angeles. I went to Anime Expo I know y'all exist. @showsonface is helping me out and we’re planning on being at Grand Park on December 26 at 11 am to hang out with you guys. I’ll hopefully be in Check Please cosplay and have some blankets out to sit on and chill. Let’s talk draw and enjoy Check Please together!

[omgcpla]

The more the merrier! Check out this event, everyone!!

hey idk if you guys know about this but i think i saw something about a trump protest going on in perishing square tomorrow?? like idk if it's actually happening but i think i saw something about it and just???? stay safe????? or reschedule or something

Thank you for your concern. Here’s what I know: 1) there was a big protest today downtown, 2) there is another scheduled in Hollywood tomorrow.

I haven’t found any information on a protest happening tomorrow in Pershing Square or that the rink has been affected by previous protests. If anyone has better information, please let us know. <3

[omgcpla]

hi sorry im a little late! im just messaging for me and my partner to rsvp for tomorrow!! i cant wait to meet you guys there :-)

Huzzah! Psyched to meet you both!

[omgcpla]

I may arrive a bit after 11am my train from Palmdale to LA union station arrives at exactly 11am(leaves from my house at 9am). Then I have to take the metro rail. Hope I can still make it in time :|

It should be a quick metro from Union Station to Pershing Square. At worst you might miss a few minutes of skating but I wouldn’t be too worried about it. You can even purchase your ticket online ahead of time to speed the process along. :)
