Meet the Cast of The Hunger Games at the Grove in Los Angeles!


Want to meet the cast of The Hunger Games? Do you live in Southern California? On Thursday, March 22, head on down to Barnes & Noble at The Grove and you might get your chance!
If you're a fan of "The Hunger Games," you're probably a seriously true-blue fan. The Suzanne Collins-penned trilogy has garnered millions of devoted readers and a big Hollywood movie to boot, not to mention hundreds of track-every-detail sites.

So, how to celebrate the first film's upcoming release, if you are such a devotee? Wherever you live, practically, you can find a theater, or reread the books, or dress up as your favorite character (we like the colorful, outrageous style of Effie, personally).

But if you live in Southern California, and you can make it to The Grove on Thursday, March 22, you can actually celebrate the film's release with the actual people in the film, or at least some of them. That's pretty dang big, right? So big that Barnes & Noble at The Grove -- where the evening event is going down -- will start handing out wristbands at 9 a.m.

Do day-long queues get more exciting? Rarely.

The cast members are not listed on the bookstore site, but a few of the goings-on are (think raffles, trivia and, yep, signings). We're pretty sure happy rumors will be flying about who is set to show.

If you want something signed, there are a few to-knows, like buying a book at the location. You'll want to read all, especially about that limited quantity of wristbands.

So, who do you want to meet most?

Also, you do know that Farmers Market'll start serving coffee and donuts long before the 9 a.m. line time? We're just saying that for the early birds. There will be early birds, too, and cheers to them.
We're not sure which members of the cast will be in attendance and it seems the actual event starts at night, but we're confident those wristbands will go fast so get there early!

We met Josh Hutcherson!!!

Courtney and Tiffany wait patiently for The Josh to appear!
Today Josh Hutcherson was on Jimmy Kimmel, so what's an L.A. Hunger Games fan to do? Stalk the stage door, apparently. The moment we knew Josh was appearing on Jimmy Kimmel, we had it in our minds not to attend the show, but to hang out by the stage door to possibly meet Peeta himself, Josh Hutcherson.
   So when today arrived, we finally got off the computer and met up with our good HG friend Amie, who you might know from HG Girl on Fire! We waited for a long while until both Nathan Fillion and Josh Hutcherson made their way to the long line of barricade.
Courtney, Tiffany, Amie, and Denise pose with Mal, I mean Nathan Fillion.

Josh makes his way down, Courtney prepares her book to be signed

The Josh.

Denise, Tiffany, Courtney, & Amie with JOSH!!

So, I (Courtney in case you didn't know) was the first one of us to encounter Josh,  and said hello and offered my sharpie but realized he has about three sharpies in his hands. So I said, "Do I give you? Or?" and motioned awkwardly. And Josh just threw his hands upward and shook them around saying, "It doesn't matter, I've got all these pens!". So he signed my book, and I inquired if I could have a hug. That's not weird right? Hugs are fun. Anyway, ever since the People's Choice Awards I was determined to score a hug from Josh. He said "of course!" and what a glorious hug it was. He moved onto Tiffany, Denise, and Amie, and then we got a picture with him!


I'm just gonna leave this here.

What a Hunger Games book signed by Josh Hutcherson looks like!


Pretty awesome day. Thanks so much to our partner in crime, Denise for taking the pictures!!
