I was just wondering if anybody was aware of the possibility of another KCon Lte, and when/where it was going to happen.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #1 on:** August 17, 2009, 02:27:37 pm »

I thought we already had one? Or was that like...some weird second k-con lite 08 thing? XD

Jamiche · « **Reply #2 on:** August 17, 2009, 02:31:43 pm »

Umm, can we get thru the con itself before we start thinking about another mini-event?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #3 on:** August 17, 2009, 03:09:16 pm »

I s'pose.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #4 on:** August 17, 2009, 03:11:27 pm »

I know in 08 there was two of them right? One in the spring and one in the fall....but I guess we can get through the con first XD

makichan · « **Reply #5 on:** August 17, 2009, 06:29:19 pm »

I hope it's in November. That way we have Kumoricon in Sept., Halloween in Oct., K-lite in Nov., and Mewcon. Not that I know if I'm going to Mew yet or anything

DancingTofu · « **Reply #6 on:** August 17, 2009, 10:52:14 pm »

There's Orycon in November, btw.

Just sayin'.

Teasel · « **Reply #7 on:** August 17, 2009, 11:09:25 pm »

Please let it be in November.

I have Fright Town in October and on November 1st.

FateChooseMe · « **Reply #9 on:** August 29, 2009, 06:19:41 pm »

Con should be first before thinking about after events.
XD
I love how you guys are all excited for it though.

It shows respect for the con itself! Sarcasm noted.

The people who aren't PLANNING everything are so excited. ;P

Pre-emptive.

melchizedek · « **Reply #20 on:** September 14, 2009, 09:29:40 am »

I think we'd be hard pressed to have it in november. Have to elect a new board first.

DancingTofu · « **Reply #21 on:** September 14, 2009, 09:49:09 am »

November's already pretty busy with Aki Con and Orycon happening. I'd say we should hold off on worrying about another minicon until May, so that we can use it as a trial-version of the real con, since a lot of key staff tend to not re-register until March or April.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #22 on:** September 14, 2009, 11:02:10 am »

sad....may? That is so far away. Can't we have two?

Rathany · « **Reply #23 on:** September 14, 2009, 11:47:31 am »

Last year's Klite was run by the previous Board. Things are being talked about. It's still in the infancy stage now. Expect some activity and questions on this topic within a few days.

Jamiche · « **Reply #24 on:** September 14, 2009, 12:15:06 pm »

But something to start thinking about... what school club can offer space and to spread the word?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #25 on:** September 14, 2009, 12:22:58 pm »

Sweet. I think what might be a good idea is have it at the hotel. Not sure if they would let it happen or nor but it would give people a chance to get used to the hotel as well as the hotel staff get to know some of us a little more as well become more comfortable with us.

Jamiche · « **Reply #26 on:** September 14, 2009, 12:25:19 pm »

The thing to keep in mind with having it at any hotel.. we would have to pay for space, which means we may end up having to charge admittance into Klite. The advantage to having a school club partner with us is they can usually get the space, which means the event is free.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #27 on:** September 14, 2009, 12:50:03 pm »

Yeah that is true, but I would be willing to pay to get in if that means the staff could be exposed to us cosplayers more.

Teasel · « **Reply #28 on:** September 14, 2009, 03:22:03 pm »

Why not have it at PSU again?

The school anime or gaming club will need to contact us and secure the space. But the pretty much goes for any school club... if they want to have it at their school, they need to contact us.

PSU is one option. We are hoping that people will come to us saying that their school can host it and provide [X] sq. ft. of space and let us know what rules for vending and food would be. We need to at least be able to sell Kcon registrations and have space for our content. Additionally, it would be nice if we could sell ramune and pocky to recoup our costs and be able to bring in 2 or 3 small vendors. We do expect that the school club that works with us to bring in this event will help promote the event. Usually, we design and print the promotional materials and the club distributes it.

oslapedo · « **Reply #31 on:** September 14, 2009, 03:40:47 pm »

My thoughts~

* Sooner is better. I'd prefer it in fall/winter over spring.

* I wouldn't want to pay to get in.

* I liked it at PSU b

nikkiolie · « **Reply #32 on:** September 14, 2009, 03:47:04 pm »

I liked it at PSU as well. I liked the area it has been held, there is more than enough room for everyone there

And I would love to have it fall/winter. Maybe it could be around the holidays with a Christmas (or general Holiday) theme?

camname21 · « **Reply #33 on:** September 15, 2009, 05:27:32 am »

So now for someone to get a PSU club member to check this web page, and then make them talk to the club and get back to us. Sounds like the worst waiting game EVER!! More active roll ideas?

Teasel · « **Reply #34 on:** September 15, 2009, 08:18:18 pm »

I REALLY don't like the idea of paying in order to go to this. Especially since I'm trying to get comedians to come to this, and having to pay may hurt things.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #35 on:** September 16, 2009, 02:34:08 pm »

I would pay as well. And Patrick I would give you a ride, don't worry

camname21 · « **Reply #36 on:** September 17, 2009, 02:06:14 am »

:/ That's like a 2hour bike ride, would hope to get a car ride there instead.

Teasel · « **Reply #37 on:** September 19, 2009, 12:35:18 am »

Jebus, that's far. >_>

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #38 on:** September 19, 2009, 09:16:57 pm »

Yea I don't mind paying around $5 either. I liked PSU as well. And I like the fall/winter time for those of us who aren't going to many more conventions until maybe spring or kcon next year.

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #39 on:** September 19, 2009, 09:20:54 pm »

I prefer Vancouver over Corvallis. Less of a drive for us P-Town people

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #40 on:** September 19, 2009, 09:30:17 pm »

I live in milwaukie and I think thats far XD

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #41 on:** September 19, 2009, 09:37:55 pm »

Corvallis is a heck of a lot farther though x.x

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #42 on:** September 19, 2009, 09:58:00 pm »

I would pick you up but I don't have a car

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #43 on:** September 19, 2009, 10:10:14 pm »

>> See? That just added to mine and auricles points we were making through IM

We were discussing the simple fact that a lot of Kcon-goers probably don't drive (we are making rather large assumptions here) and prefer the TriMet/Max because it travels all through the Portland Metro area and we also made a large assumption that probably most Kcon goers live in the Portland Metro area so the closer the better we think.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #44 on:** September 19, 2009, 10:12:04 pm »

yeah I take trimet everywhere my parents give me a bus pass so I can go to school so yeah trimet is my essential I think it needs to be close to portland too.

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #45 on:** September 19, 2009, 11:07:57 pm »

I take trimet too when I have to

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #46 on:** September 19, 2009, 11:17:52 pm »

<----- only way of getting around unless a friend helps

Teasel · « **Reply #47 on:** September 23, 2009, 12:21:34 am »

The only way I can get there is via Trimet. So I still have my fingers crossed for PSU.

Roddy Manic · « **Reply #48 on:** September 23, 2009, 12:48:45 am »

I live in beaverton...

I wouldn't mind paying like $5, that's nothing. less then the gas will be most likely.

dec/jan is Mewcon, April is Sakuracon, so those seem like bad ideas as those are 2 cons that are close so kcon people might go to those.
oh.. and Nov has akicon. fanime in may. anime-expo in july.
so maybe... March or June?

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #49 on:** September 23, 2009, 09:20:42 pm »

what does oct. hold? or perhaps early dec?
