So I headed over to the South Park Blocks today and wandered up and down them a bit looking for a best location. The block that's closest to the hotel is a big open square with trees all around. It's very pretty, but the trees block out all that photo-improving sunlight. The other blocks are mostly grassy, which might be a problem because of possible grass stains.

I suggest the first park block over Pioneer Square because there might be some kind of city event there. There's always something up at the Square. At the park we can intimidate people out of the way, and the trees'll give up shelter if it rains.

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #51 on:** August 03, 2009, 05:03:34 pm »

I vote for the pioneer square as well, lot more memorable place for people to meet since i would think people would know where it is.

And I ha question bout Panel.. how is it gonna be set up?? like just a table up front for the leaders of the panel then chairs everywhere, or would there be just empty space with still table up front for equipment and what not.. and whats the offical stuff we're gonna do too? hah, we should have a contest for the best pj put togetherness cosplay sorta thing xD

goatchild · « **Reply #52 on:** August 03, 2009, 06:44:33 pm »

Now I'm torn. The Park Blocks would be a better place as far as area, but I also worry about people not being able to find it/not wanting to put forth the effort. Pioneer Square will be easier to find for non-Portlanders, but certainly a less ideal place as far as crowds and scenery. :x ...I think I'm gonna vote for Park Blocks, though (sorry KyoKyo D: ). Also, even with the tree cover and cloudy skies, the light should be fine. Any outdoor lighting is better than indoor in most cases. : P

@KyoKyo: Even though the PJ Party is in the Panel category, it'll actually be more of a party as opposed to a panel/audience setting. There'll be games and other fun activities. (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, Demy, Malaria)

Malaria · « **Reply #53 on:** August 03, 2009, 07:56:34 pm »

I'd be willing to meet people at the hotel beforehand and walk them over to the Park Blocks.
Pioneer Square might get really awkward. There are always street preachers there. ><

That's the plan! Fun and games, without much in the way of structure. Demy was supposed to get an email from the organization lady about the specifics of our room and time, which'll give us a good idea about our limits. I can't remember if she did or not. -Best organizer ever, really.-

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #54 on:** August 04, 2009, 10:57:14 am »

thats okay for the park blocks.. i'm not familiar with that part of Portland (i dun visit there much sinc ei'm 3 hours away) so i'm good withwhatever we can.. and having someone to guide over would be a rele good idea malaria.

Okie so the latter.. and what did we decide on games again and main entertainment? Or did we decide fully on one?

lit by twilight · « **Reply #55 on:** August 04, 2009, 12:47:08 pm »

@Malaria We could just gay it up in front of the street preachers, I'm sure they wouldn't mind. :B;;

UH ANYWAY. Sorry to like, randomly pop in again (I have a habit of doing that don't I? orz), but do we have a specific time for the Potluck? Has one been decided?~

saya-chan14 · « **Reply #56 on:** August 04, 2009, 04:55:41 pm »

I was think of doing Germany for the photo shoot or the panel you pick and Italy for the Potluck and photo shoot or Panel what ever one you pick.

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #57 on:** August 04, 2009, 04:57:29 pm »

i think the porluck was around 4 on Friday unless we bumped it up, did we?

Malaria · « **Reply #58 on:** August 04, 2009, 05:19:01 pm »

Kyo: I'm totally okay with gathering people beforehand and taking them to the park.

I wanted to do Risk, but I don't have it and neither does Goatchild. If one of you can bring it, we'll play stupid Hetalia risk, and I'm bringing Apples to Apples. If we can get speakers, we'll play background music and generally goof off.

Lit: I would. No need to cause conflict when you can avoid it. ~~Especially since my school is downtown.~~

The potluck is from 4-6 on Friday, either at Pioneer Square or Pioneer Place (the mall) depending on the weather.

Saya: Do Germany for the shoot! There's never too much Germany, especially with all our N Italy.

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #59 on:** August 04, 2009, 05:32:44 pm »

never played risk or apples to apples before xD so i know i wont be responsible for much~ and i think with what people we got, we can easily get speakers.. charrie songs ftw

and i'm bringing my lappy with me on this trip and it has all the soudtracks on it so i can easily extract data of songs if certain people dun have it :3

and thanks for the reassurance for the potluck xD but should we have something up for the potluck just in case people cant exactly figure it out where it is? like a red flag or something to tell its there ike in the mall or square? *overcaution for first time in area xD*

Malaria · « **Reply #60 on:** August 04, 2009, 05:50:02 pm »

Apples to Apples is really fun with the right people.

The Square's a super wide open space, and also one of the most recognizable points in the city, so if it's there you'll be able to see us. If it's at the mall, I'll write detailed instructions for how to find us.

lit by twilight · « **Reply #61 on:** August 04, 2009, 07:52:43 pm »

@Malaria I was just kidding~ it was a joke. ;-;

Thank you for clearing up the times with me!

Kero-sempai · « **Reply #62 on:** August 04, 2009, 07:55:03 pm »

I hear you guys as you're planning, and yet I have no idea what you're talking about. ='D
Guuhhh I don't know the area at all, apparently. I am ashamed. -.-lll Oh well, I've only been here for a year, I've got plenty of time to catch up.
A park does sound good, even if I don't know about the particular park. As long as it's in a pretty nice area of town and not too far away from the hotel, it's all good. Twelve on the Sunday would be a good time to keep, as well. How long are we going to be photographing? Anywhere around 1-3 hours, d'you think?
Yeah, I think we're going to want to stay away from street preachers. ~~Just because of their occasional salesman-like qualities. -.-;;~~ XD But who knows, they're Portland street preachers. You never know what they'll do. Lit may be right. *comes from the Southern Bible belt to a far left state*

Yeah! Apples to Apples is very fun with the right people. It's pretty cut and dry, KyoKyo, don't worry. You can understand the rules in depth in like, 20 seconds. Now, Risk, on the other hand, I've only heard of once. I have no idea what that is. : D

@Malaria: Being gathered into a neat little group by Austria? Now that's what I call in-character! xD

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #63 on:** August 04, 2009, 08:00:43 pm »

and hey, if we're good enough we can get some sort of karoke for the panel

fun, neh? and yay cut and dry

And hey Austria.. if i'm good enough with this, can I has my pasta back? xD u took it away from me like a few months ago.. i'm being a good kid naao~

lit by twilight · « **Reply #64 on:** August 04, 2009, 08:34:31 pm »

Perhaps we could set up a little (somewhat privatized) directory of e-mail addresses and cell numbers of other Hetalia cosplayers who are attending the events? Closer to the con, of course, and optional for those who would supply their contact info -- but that way if someone ends up lost or wondering where anyone's meeting up (this is, of course, during the con) then we can try and help out.

If this hasn't been suggested already, of course. XD

goatchild · « **Reply #65 on:** August 05, 2009, 09:50:18 am »

For everyone's info:
I am bringing speakers and my laptop with all of the Hetalia music on it to the PJ Party Panel, and possibly to all of the other events (because I love you all that much : D).
I don't have a microphone for karaoke at the panel, but I think it'd be funnier if we just had one of those cheap Dollar Store plastic microphones. If we want, we can all get together and invade the karaoke room for people who want to do decent karaoke. XD
Directions from Hilton to Pioneer Square and Pioneer Place: Here
Directions from Hilton to South Park Blocks: Here
I'd be fine with giving out my cell number for people to call at the con. : )

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #66 on:** August 05, 2009, 10:55:16 am »

thanx for the update goat

and i'm fine with giving out my cellphone number.. as long as its on a private message cuz i dun want random peeps i dun oknow in the future to know it xD

Marluxia · « **Reply #67 on:** August 05, 2009, 11:17:33 am »

Im cosplaying Chibitalia, my girlfriend is Chibi Romano, and my friend will be Holy Roman Empire. I dont know about them, but I will be at all the events. <33

Marluxia · « **Reply #68 on:** August 05, 2009, 11:40:54 am »

Also, are there final times and places for these things yet? X3 Im marking them down im my phone calender so an alarm will go off when its half an hour away.

goatchild · « **Reply #69 on:** August 05, 2009, 12:30:32 pm »

All the event info is in my signiature (for now). I'm going to ask Malaria to make a post with all of the event info and keep it up to date, and then I'll put that link in my sig instead (and make Malaria do the same maybe |D).

Marluxia · « **Reply #70 on:** August 05, 2009, 12:36:53 pm »

Oh, goody. ^3^

Malaria · « **Reply #72 on:** August 05, 2009, 03:24:33 pm »

Thanks for being all responsible, Yagi. <3
I'm updating the roll call post with times and dates now!

Marluxia: I've added you to the roll call list. I'm really excited to see your group. <3

Kero: The photoshoots are usually about one hour. Sometimes people split up to do mini shoots on their own.

Portland street preachers are seriously loud but thoroughly ignored.

Marluxia · « **Reply #73 on:** August 05, 2009, 04:04:41 pm »

8D Yayomgsqueespazgasm. Im looking forward to it all.

I'd love to attend the Photoshoot and the Potluck if possible~ I'm going to be cosplaying ~~Chibitalia~~ CANADA NOW because omg, I want to have pockets and wear comfy clothes. And to do this properly:

Name: Haley
Age: 20
Event(s) Attending: All of them, to the best of my ability! (As Canada)

Eep! Sorry, Malaria, but can I make a change to this (considering omg wtf i must have done this on little to no sleep because it makes no sense)? I'm still going to be cosplaying Canada, but I'll be doing my best to attend all three of the events. :3

Also, in regards to the cell phone numbers/e-mails thing, those of us who'd like to share them can PM them to one another to keep track of? I'm willing to give mine out, too.

I can bring my Twister game for the PJ Party, if anyone thinks they will play. :3

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #79 on:** August 06, 2009, 06:45:23 pm »

I totally will

and if not, i'll video cam everyone else who is for youtube x3

Mewithe · « **Reply #80 on:** August 07, 2009, 12:37:06 am »

I'll play! I was thinking for Twister, we'd need two mats. :3 So more people can play at the same time~, yes? I'm going to buy a Twister game before the con in case we don't have two people who can bring a Twister game each.

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #81 on:** August 07, 2009, 10:59:28 am »

Okay so basically for the games we have so far is apples to apples and twister :3 that sounds pretty fun as is ~

goatchild · « **Reply #82 on:** August 07, 2009, 02:42:02 pm »

I wanna say there were more games than that, but I've forgotten them all now. >> Though if we throw in pseudo-karaoke, that'll be plenty of commotion for one room. : )

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #83 on:** August 07, 2009, 03:19:23 pm »

Oh yea that to! I personally want that psuedo-karoke :3 But what do u guys think about having a contest of who has the best pajama cosplay (cuz face it, its not really common xD)

goatchild · « **Reply #84 on:** August 07, 2009, 03:34:33 pm »

We could see how many people actually show up in PJs, and then ask how many would want to enter, and if we get enough people, I say we go for if! I suggest we do it by popular vote instead of judges. We could have a little fashion show (or show down in my and Malaria's case). : D

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #85 on:** August 07, 2009, 07:34:12 pm »

fashio show sounds nice :3 but i dont know if much people would want to do it, but then again it can be a great idea. We should probably get a great idea to ask the others about it between a show and a contest. but hey, I know a great artist that could maybe make some pictures that the winners of the contest can get

and i have some yen too so they ones who participate can get some yen >3

What do you think :3

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #89 on:** August 07, 2009, 08:47:02 pm »

Hey hey, dont be rejecting... thats actually not a bad idea. Like a theme maybe like, maybe get some jammies with food on it (whatever stuff romano eats since hes seen eating a lot) or you know, maybe based on the maidish outfit when he was a child. Or even get some red pajamas and a green hat or slippers so you'd be a tomato

jaqua · « **Reply #90 on:** August 07, 2009, 08:53:01 pm »

Just a random note: Twister = awesome sdkfjsldkjf
And same with AtA.

I totally want to go in PJ cosplay as Prussia but I'm not sure what I'd do... Although I think I have an idea. Hahaha. It probably won't be all that amazing but it'll be something.
And as a Portland native I'll offer up my phone number as well, so if anyone wants it feel free to PM me :x

Also, I'm bringing a friend to the Potluck, PJ party and photoshoot who is planning on England. She doesn't have an account on here but here's her info:

Name: Katie
Age: 18
Country: England

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #91 on:** August 07, 2009, 08:57:00 pm »

Again, it can be one of those things where at the actual panel we ask if people are interested, and if not, scrap it. : P We should prolly move this discussion to the other thread, though, so as not to fill up this thread. XD

@naruchan: Well, in the series the Italys sleep naked, so maybe just boxorz and a tanktop/t-shirt? If you could find anything with tomatos, pizza, bulls, or turtles, I think you'd be good. :3 Tomato Romano would be cute, though. X3

sk_chan · « **Reply #93 on:** August 07, 2009, 09:03:22 pm »

If they're absolutely needed I do have both Twister and Risk if no one else can bring them. I'm just paranoid about losing the pieces to Risk, as I just got that game last Christmas and have only played it once...

And I'm coming in pajamas. I think. But I only have pajamas that I think Russia would wear, not Germany... ._. I kind of want to come as Germany, though...

If you feel unsure about Risk, you dont have to bring it, i'm sure we can do other things :3 but if you want to bring it than go ahead

and hey, maybe for the jammies, you can come as Germany with those pjs and like say it was a gift for russia in a want to be one with him xD fun times, no? nbut its only a suggestion

Eh, I'll bring it if no one else can. I'll just be all serious!protective!Germany before anyone touches it and say for no one to lose any pieces or they'll have to run 500 laps around the convention area. =_=

Lol, Germany wouldn't want to be one with Russia. Ever. German pride. =| (And actually the pjs I'm thinking of have polar bears on them, so it actually makes me think of Canada, too...but it has a wintery feel that I associate with Russia.)

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #98 on:** August 07, 2009, 09:15:37 pm »

WAIT!! Thats perfect for Germany!! Germany has Knut

polar bear cub in Berlin, the creator made a small panel about that and so thats like, just as great for Germany
