Author Topic: Uwajimaya + Nickel Arcade Meetup! (over) (Read 36297 times)

fleur_fraise · « **on:** June 20, 2009, 11:41:58 pm »

What: A summer meetup! Gather at Uwajimaya for lunch, then go to Beaverton's Wunderland nickel arcarde for funtimes. We can get to Wunderland in a couple of ways: driving, walking, or busing. Driving is easiest and fastest, but not everyone has a car. Walking would take a while. There is a bus stop about halfway between, so we can walk halfway and bus the rest of the way.
When: July 10th, 11:30
Dress Code: Casual cosplay? The character on their day off. (let me know what you think)

If you can come, please give me the following information:

HA, you know I'm in

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #2 on:** June 20, 2009, 11:44:09 pm »

I am there. I can longboard there since I live only like, 10 minutes away. Sometime after July 4th though?

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #3 on:** June 20, 2009, 11:44:25 pm »

Yay Sam! XD I was hoping to talk to you about coming to this, but you're faster than I am!

boogiepop: yeah, that's a good idea. I'll be out of town for that week.

This sounds fun and I think I can go! Here's a form I made right off the bat~

Name: Samantha K.
Age: 20
Character: Amagi Yukiko (Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4)
Requested Date: Saturday, August 8th, 2009

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #5 on:** June 20, 2009, 11:46:29 pm »

Oh wow, August is pretty far off, it seems. But the further in advance it is, the more likely everyone can go!

What do you guys think about the casual cosplay idea?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #6 on:** June 20, 2009, 11:47:50 pm »

I would be up for it. I don't really care about the date just not August 1st or July 5th

I like the more casual cosplay idea. I could try to do a casual Kuja

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #7 on:** June 20, 2009, 11:48:41 pm »

Please let me know if August 8th doesn't work, it's the next Saturday I'm sure to be free. Also, I know at least one of my friends will be busy the weekend of August 1st and I would love it if they could come, so August 8th is my suggestion xD

Casual cosplay works for me, but I will be going in full cosplay anyway lol (it's just a schoolgirl uniform ^^;;)

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #8 on:** June 21, 2009, 12:00:36 am »

I would do casual cosplay but I can't picture any of the characters I cosplay as "casually". So I'll just casually cosplay myself.
Also what games does the Beaverton Wunderland have? I usually only go to the Avalon for Dance Maniax.

EDIT:
And Panic Park, and hours and hours of every version of Time Crisis.
Also if this goes down after July 13th, my college starts up again so I won't be available Tuesday-Thursday.

AriaxKitsune · « **Reply #9 on:** June 21, 2009, 12:04:44 am »

I think most of my cosplays are casual since I need to do repairs, lol. So I like it

Auricle · « **Reply #10 on:** June 21, 2009, 12:15:35 am »

This sounds like a lot of fun! :3 I've never been to the arcade, but I've heard about it so I'd like to go there. X3

makichan · « **Reply #11 on:** June 21, 2009, 01:25:24 am »

This sounds like fun. I think I might go, depending on the time o' course.
But just in case~

Name: Marquise N. / Maki
Age: 20
Character: Death the Kid (what he normally wears... because symmetry never takes a casual day off)
Requested Date: Preferably sometime in July because I want a little time to plan, but I don't want to wait until August XD

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #12 on:** June 21, 2009, 01:32:55 am »

Red the Ninja is hoping to come along. Being without a real day off, he will wear his ninja garb and express his usual calmness. Just waiting for the date to appear.

mattstotts46 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 21, 2009, 02:33:53 am »

They also House of The Dead 4 too. I miss the DDR machine there. It was my religion, my passion, and my joy =(. I love Panic Park! The only game where you can be be a jerk after you die.

DancingTofu · « **Reply #14 on:** June 21, 2009, 06:43:36 am »

I'd watch out for scheduling too far in the future. Wunderland's not faring well; they will likely be closing one of their locations within the next few months, and the Beaverton Wunderland is certainly a candidate for that.

I'll check their list of games. If they do still have Panic Park, Air Hockey, and at least one other decent game when this rolls around, I might join in on this.

mattstotts46, if you're into DDR, we should meet up at Ground Kontrol some time! My primary drive to continue playing the game is from the people I meet playing it, so I love to meet fellow enthusiasts. It's only 50 cents a game there, which means if you go there and play 9 games, you're only spending 20 cents more than you'd spend playing 9 games at Wunderland (although the comparison is kind of arbitrary now that playing DDR at Wunderland is impossible :[).

Just send me a PM some time. I'm free pretty much any day of the week right now so just pick a day and I'll see if I have plans.

If I get to see you again I will be happiiies~~~ <3

nikkiolie · « **Reply #16 on:** June 21, 2009, 10:10:59 am »

I would be up for this in July....I was just stating the two days that I wasn't available not saying that we should have it too late.

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 21, 2009, 11:59:35 am »

Sounds fun, I'm in.

Name: Shiraume I.
Age: 18
Character: Not sure, maybe my Turk cosplay
Requested Date: as long as it's not july 4th or july 19/20th I don't ming

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 21, 2009, 12:28:38 pm »

I'll come if I can! But a date needs to be set soon or else my mom will say no fo sho. And I won't be able to come if it's anytime between August 8th through the 15th. I'm going to be on a family trip. >3< But if it has to then don't worry about it, there are plenty more meet-ups to possibly go to. Lol.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #19 on:** June 21, 2009, 01:15:48 pm »

I rather it be in July than in August. That will be the last little bit of work I can do before the con so I will want to focus on that

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #20 on:** June 21, 2009, 01:19:02 pm »

Ackkk, I really want to come to this but I can't unless it's in August >.< I'm going to the Y/Y couples' picnic in July and all my weekends are taken until 8/8 T.T If this ends up being in July then I guess I'll just wish you all fun and hope you take lots of pictures xD

IcyMelon · « **Reply #21 on:** June 21, 2009, 01:39:19 pm »

Same ~ I want to come but only if its in August ~

nikkiolie · « **Reply #22 on:** June 21, 2009, 02:37:00 pm »

I guess it doesn't really matter when it is for me.

Hazuza · « **Reply #23 on:** June 21, 2009, 02:43:35 pm »

This sounds fun~ ^^ Only thing I have to request is that it be on a weekend o~o

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #24 on:** June 21, 2009, 02:46:42 pm »

Sounds awesome. I'd love to go, as I have been looking for an excuse to go to Wunderland for years now. Love that place! So, yeah, depending on when, I'm in.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #25 on:** June 21, 2009, 03:36:39 pm »

Yeah a weekend would be nice. I'm glad you are thinking about going Eve.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #26 on:** June 21, 2009, 03:39:08 pm »

I think July would be best.

But if this ends up working out well, then we can definitely do it again in August! We still have all summer

nikkiolie · « **Reply #27 on:** June 21, 2009, 03:52:21 pm »

I don't really care too much. The sooner I know the sooner I can ask for that day off. If it is in July the 18th is a bad day.

Me too. :3
July is pretty busy for me, plus I'm going to my dad's house for part of it, so I think I'd be to busy to come. ^^;;

DancingTofu · « **Reply #29 on:** June 21, 2009, 05:55:25 pm »

Why not meet up once in July and once in August?

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #30 on:** June 21, 2009, 06:32:37 pm »

Let me know if you have this again in August, I would love to go :3

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #31 on:** June 21, 2009, 09:01:23 pm »

Oh Charles dear, please come so I can be a jerk to someone~ We can play Xbox at my house afterwords even.

Romo · « **Reply #32 on:** June 21, 2009, 11:05:34 pm »

This sounds really nifty, you can count me in. I have free time in July and in August so either way works for me!~ It's weird that I have so much free time even though I have so much to do. //Confused by the unlogical logic.//

yay :DDDD for fun for us : ))))
but I still don't know who I'll go as..^^;

Romo · « **Reply #34 on:** June 22, 2009, 12:31:08 am »

I don't know either, my cosplay ideas are all jumbled up right now and so if nothing else I'll use something I already have done. Maybe even the New Days cosplay will be done by then and I can use that.

Agent47 · « **Reply #35 on:** June 22, 2009, 12:48:08 am »

I could potentially be up for this.. seeing as how I'm somewhat overdue for a gathering, since I haven't been to one since the September birthday picnic last year.

As far as date and time goes.. pretty much anything works for me. Who knows, I may even be able to drag along my roommate.. though, it's not too likely. lol

nikkiolie · « **Reply #36 on:** June 22, 2009, 02:14:45 pm »

Well who ever is planning this should come up with a date....

Chacha · « **Reply #37 on:** June 22, 2009, 04:47:40 pm »

Oh wow, I love Uwajimaya. Like some other peeps in this thread, I also live a few minutes away. Lucky meeeee. Maybe I'll get to go. I'll see what I can do. :3

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #38 on:** June 22, 2009, 04:49:45 pm »

You can count me in, that is, if I'm here. I leave for Arizona this friday, and then I'm not back til the 5th of July. And then I'm gone again the first week of August.

But if it's in between any of those, I'll be there!

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #39 on:** June 22, 2009, 07:03:34 pm »

I have to talk to my dad, as he's in charge of my vacations this summer. I know I'll be gone the week of July 4, and I think also the 18th, but I'm not sure.
I should have a date by the end of this week.

For you, my friend, we have special price of just one ninety-nine!

I'll probably go to this, as long as it's not on: July 4th, July 11th, July 18th, July 25th, or July 26th.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #41 on:** June 22, 2009, 09:31:30 pm »

Okay, so I've decided that the time that works best would be ~~July 11th~~ July 10th.

But if you can't go, never fear! I'll try to set up a second meetup like this one in August, too.

The dresscode:
Casual cosplay is perfered. However, if you want, you can come in full cosplay. I will be in casual cosplay for sure, and possibly lolita if something goes wrong. Japanese fashions are also allowed, and you can show up not in costume if you want.

For the time, how about we meet at 11:30 in Kinokuniya? Then we can each buy our own lunch/snacks and then head over to Wunderland. The ending date will be however long you want to stay.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #42 on:** June 22, 2009, 09:33:11 pm »

Boo, I can't come to the July one. I'll be up in Washington with some friends. I'll make it to the August one if I can.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #43 on:** June 22, 2009, 09:34:35 pm »

That's too bad >: I wish everyone could go. Hopefully having two meetups will work out fine!

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #44 on:** June 22, 2009, 09:37:21 pm »

I'm sure I'll be able to go to this one. But, depending when the August one is, I might just go to the later one.

IcyMelon · « **Reply #45 on:** June 22, 2009, 09:38:11 pm »

July 11th is not going to work for me TT^TT
I have a New Days Dawning meeting I have
to attend.

Crap, there's a cosplay group meeting on that day? D: If a lot of people can't go because of that, I'll change the date, but the next option would be July 25th.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #47 on:** June 22, 2009, 09:45:08 pm »

It also looks like Tofu is planning a DDR tournament that day as well, though I'm not sure how many people that were planning to go to this it would take away but him.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #48 on:** June 22, 2009, 09:48:33 pm »

I thought that there wasn't going to be anything on this day, but I guess I didn't look in the correct places.

So then, would July 10th or July 25th work better than the 11th? The 10th is a Friday, and the 25th is a Saturday.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #49 on:** June 22, 2009, 09:50:31 pm »

I vote for the 25th since I'll be leaving for Washington on the 10th.

EDIT:
Though I guess I will be leaving after my boyfriend gets back home from work so I could come in the afternoon.
