I'm more excited for the 10th anniversary than I am for Valentine's Day. XD Looking forward to both events though!


I think most of the oldbies are looking forwards to 10 years more than Valentine's honestly.

Of course Gaia's doing a major 10th anniversary event with Valentine's Day in it. But the question is... will it also be a Mardi Gras-themed Valentine's Day? cat_ninja

Well seeing as Ash Wednesday comes between Mardi Gras and Valentine's Day, thus putting Valentine's Day firmly into the season of Lent this year, I doubt it.

I'm actually very intrigued by it. I hadn't even logged into Gaia in the longest, but the email they sent got to me. whee I actually also hope there's a cool freebie involved. :3

There likely will be a cool freebie.

Mater of fact, if they're doing 10 days, I wouldn't be surprised if there was 10 freebies involved!

Definitely. V-Day is a pretty minor holiday in the grand scheme of Gaia holidays. I'm very excited to party like it's 2003! 8D

I feel the same way! As much as I'm interested to see what's going on for VDay, a ten year anniversary seems even more exciting.

2003 wasn't a time for parties, it was a time for weird alliances with odd names like the fist and the boxer shorts rebellion.

LOL. I think I missed that part of 2003. I joined in November and hid in the Chatterbox like the weeaboo newblet I was.

Oh, so you're from my neck of Gaia?

I honestly can't say I've ever met you, even back then.

Question:

When IS Mardi Gras? It's not on my calendar.

Mardi Gras is the Tuesday 41 days before Easter.

Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox.

This year Easter is March 31st. So Mardi Gras is February 12th

Also, is Ash Wednesday on your calendar? Mardi Gras is always the day before.

I'm quite surprised that the event also mixes with the Valentines day event and I'm excited for both of them really.

My calender does list that on the 13th, yes. Apparently Mardi Gras is the same day as Abraham Lincoln's Birthday.

Thank you for lifting the veil of confusion.
