“Who Ordered This Pig!?”
Click here to listen LIVE this Monday night (3/5/12) at 10pm ET!
Episode 49 (so close to 50!) of Hunger Games Fireside Chat will air live this Monday, March 5, at 10pm ET/7pm PT! This week, our panel of experts will include some of our fabulous friends from Down with the Capitol, Crystal of Mockingjay.net and FictionalFood.net, Sam of Sam Cushion Music, Rebekah from Victor’s Village, Natalie of Crushable, Ariel of Nerdy, Wordy, and Almost Thirty, and Courtney of Welcome to District 12.
- We’ll discuss the recently released clip featuring Katniss surprising the Gamemakers by shooting an arrow through an apple in their roasted pig’s mouth. (We’ll also attempt to determine exactly who ordered this pig.)
- We’ll also chat about #HungerGames24 and the production notes that Lionsgate recently uploaded to their publicity page (a massive document that includes, among other things, a list of cast members in order of appearance and a full list of the songs that will be appearing IN the film).
- Courtney from Welcome to District 12 will share her experience at the L.A. Mall Tour stop and we’ll finish sharing the fantastic Crackpot Theories submitted by listeners Grace and Rachel.
- We’ll also be joined by an incredibly special guest: Andrew Slack, the creator, co-founder, and executive director of the Harry Potter Alliance. He’ll help us fill you in on the HPA’s latest endeavor (which we have helped develop): a Hunger Games-related campaign called Hunger is Not a Game.

The Hunger Games Mall Tour Kickoff: The Frenzy, The Fans, and Meeting The Cast!

Watch out world! The Hunger Games craze is here!

It was a fun and crazy day yesterday when Welcome To District 12 photographer Denise, esteemed District 2 Mayor Aldrin, and I attended The Hunger Games mall tour kick off at the Century City mall in Los Angeles. Line up was to be at 8 am and the first 100 people were to receive wristbands to meet the cast. Unfortunately, when we got there a little before 8, this was the sight:

Yup. Apparently over 200 people were already there and yes, the wristbands had long been gone at that point. It was then we realized we were in for a very crazy day. We got in line with Aldrin and waited until we were to be put in the holding area, which would be the fan campground until the Q&A session, which would be taking place around 6 that evening.

Read the rest under the cut to watch some craziness, awesome fans, how I got to meet the cast, the Q&A, and what you might be able to win later this month!
