So close together this year! They just had one a couple weeks ago, heh. But that's awesome. I'm sure the skies won't dump all of Antarctica on us this time. And yay A-Key Kyo!

Lol I am arriving at the portland trainstation at about 11:35ish in the morning. Is there any possible way that I could get a ride from anybody from there to Uwajimaya? I really don't know my way around town so its hard for me to get to places like the transit station and such. If anybody could do this that would be a huge help and save me a super long walk up portland hills.

OWO I want to go noooow... I wanna see A-Key Kyo! But... Beaverton DX? I might try to go, especially if I go to town on my Keyblade and finish painting it on Friday! I could be Deep Dive Riku.

Is there admission?

Nah, it's always free. I hope you make it out. Ifn ot, I'll be filming A-Key Kyo and you can at least see the video (though I know it wouldn't be the same).

I'll be there from 10 until 11:30 am, then I'll have to leave for the Beaverton Borders Monthly Manga Book club meeting from 1:00 to 3:00 PM. If any of you on the forum would like to join me, that would be great!
If possible, I might come back to Uwajimaya after the book meeting ends.

Also, like always I'll be bringing my camera, so come dressed in your best cosplay!

If you need a ride from the train station, call me when you are getting close and I can swing out and pick you up BabySugarBear.  The train station is a LOT closer than going to Albany to rescue reg...   ;D

See everyone at the event!   8)

Oh noes! Jeff figured out maps without me! I'm out of a job! LOL!

I probably will stop by later in the day. I am going to go to the hotel with the video camera to take some footage for the meeting on Sunday. On my way back I think it'd be cool to stop by the booth and show you guys what I got.

Setup starts roughly at 8:30am (maybe as early as 8:00), we do already have people there but more help is much appreciated! (and more fun ;D). Events start at 9:45.

Ok, I've decided to go as Shadow tomorrow! =3 I'm looking forward to cosplaying as him again!

There's just no way I could do Matt tomorrow with the heat. So Shadow it is!

YAY!!! I wasn't looking forward to riding the max (it's scary the first time all by yourself).... Yeah if I can get a ride that would be awesome. I can even buy you some ramune or something in return :P... I finally got my paypal card... just in time too I want to buy those giant bottles of ramune and possibly treat a couple of close friends out to dinner ^_^... Anyways <3 I will give you a call then... how much time do I need to call in advance? The train was fairly on time last weekend and got in at about 11:35am. Shouldn't be too many delays that time of the day XD. I am so excited now!!! YAY.. *notes she needs to check the forums more often, realizes she will have much more time to do so after school is out* Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

Give me a call when you are getting close to Tigard, I think that will give me enough time to get downtown and then call when you hit the station.  Looks like an awesome day for a festival!  971-227--4@62

Heh, it's funny how many people say they hate summer/love rain. Really, how many people say, "Hey, it's raining! Let's go cosplay today!" or, "Today's a perfect day for a walk!"
You gotta agree, though. The weather was way better. I heard nothing but horror stories about April's festival from everyone.
