2010 PHOTO SHOOT SCHEDULE (CLOSED)

[nyahaha]

alrighty, thanks ^^

[Radien]

I think two big reasons photo shoot times change up until the last minute are:

1. If there's no print deadline, the people organizing them CAN change the day/time at the last minute, so they do.  If they had a deadline, they'd be less fickle.  And...

2. Since Programming doesn't consider photo shoot times when scheduling its other events, photo shoot organizers end up wanting to work their photo shoot around the official schedule once they find out what's going on.

Yeah, there's not much that can be done about either of these problems. I just wanted to point it out for the record.

The whiteboard's the most important thing in my opinion.  As long as there's a fail-safe option for obtaining accurate information, I'm happy.


Jamiche:

Okay, I will try to figure out a better location than Pioneer Square for ours. I don't think I've been there, but everybody had touted it as THE place to go for photo shoots. Guess it isn't, at least not this year.


Nyahaha:

You could also meet somewhere near the hotel and walk to somewhere else.  Sounds like people might get lost in the shuffle if they have to find Pioneer Square and then migrate to yet another location.

Please put the FMA shoot at 2 pm. Thanks

[luvan1me]

since pioneer square will be closed off during the weekend of con can you change the KH to MEET at pioneer and will move to a different location! thanks!

[luvan1me]

quesion: is the list of all the photoshoots gonna be available at the info table like last year?

Nikkiolie did that on her own last year, and I must admit, it was a great idea! I'm not sure how I would go about getting it up there, but I could make copies of the schedule as well as put one of them in a picture frame or something like they had.

since i'm part of the registration staff, i could have some of those flyers at the registration table. i'll ask bryan and the rest of the reg. staff if that's okay :3

[nikkiolie]

Last year Nikki contacted me about putting them in the pocket guide.  But, since they are not official events, they don't really belong in it (plus, they are usually changing up until con, and we need to print the schedule much earlier than that.)  That is why we compromised - Nikki had the schedule finalized by a certain date, and I had the schedule available at Info Desk.

I have not been contacted about it this year... if the organizer wants to talk about a similar setup, email programming@kumoricon.org and we can chat 

It is very doubtful that photoshoots will ever be part of the pocket schedule.. the con does not control them, they are unofficial meetups (and no offense, but I have enough of a headache just dealing with panels ). Having the schedule available at photobooth is the best we can offer.

And Ally was correct... you are going to need to take another look at some of your meetup places.  Pioneer Square is not going to be a viable option, what with the events going on there.  And guys, we don't mean to sound mean or anything, but photoshoots in the Main Lobby of the hotel and on Plaza level will not be allowed.  The hotel is requiring that the lobby be kept as clear as possible, and there is just too much going on up on the Plaza level.  And, before you ask.. the Ballroom lobby will be off limits as well.  Your best bet is going to be Director's Park, which is why we are looking at securing rights to the place.

Yup what she said. Something that you might be able to do is print out a list and give it to the info booth day 1 or day 0 shanime_panda

[shanime_panda]

That's what I'm planning for. I'll set a deadline soon so that no last minute changes can be made, and will bring print-outs as well as a framed/standing list of the schedule for info booth in the early morning of Day 1 (and by early I mean around 8 )

I'll add the bit about Pioneer Square to the front page. Hopefully people will change their minds.

[nikkiolie]

Sounds good to me

[iheartexploding]

move hellsing to meet at 2nd floor by the stairs. same time pretty please

[orochimarufangirl]

Quick question I noticed Hetalia has two photoshoots, one on Saturday and one on Sunday, is it alright for Soul Eater to have two photoshoots maybe? :3

[Soramunesanzun]

You don't have to ask permission. Just schedule them.

[shanime_panda]

there already are 2 photoshoots listed for Soul Eater, one is still waiting on a location

[GinKyubiKitsune]

Yu-Gi-Oh at 4 p.m. On Sunday, at the fountain Plaza

[Shadow]

I have a few location questions, where is Fountain Plaza, and where are the South Park Blocks? I remember having a photoshoot in a park-area last year, but I never knew the actual name of it.

[shanime_panda]

I'm pretty sure they are the same place. It just depends on what map you're using because I know the map here on the website says Fountain Plaza but others say South Park Blocks.

I've been saying South Park Blocks because it makes more sense to me, but I'll put parentheses next to each one saying "aka Fountain Plaza"

[mellonemrys]

I have a few location questions, where is Fountain Plaza, and where are the South Park Blocks? I remember having a photoshoot in a park-area last year, but I never knew the actual name of it.

Here is the city's information on the South Park blocks: http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/finder/index.cfm?PropertyID=674&action=ViewPark

It has maps, the history, and generally more than you ever wanted to know. The park blocks run along between 9th and Park Street (replaces 10th), which is 3 or 4 blocks west of the hotel. There is a fountain, as well as a bunch of other cool stuff depending on how far down you are.


Also here's a link to the Park Finder: http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/finder/
For anyone still looking for locations. Or directions to the parks around the area. For the general area we'll be in, I would click the 'Downtown' and 'Southwest' icons, then run a general search, or just search the park's name if you have it!

Hope this helps everyone out!

Park actually replaces 8th, with Broadway replacing 7th.

[mellonemrys]

Director Park is a beautiful concrete top park located just east of the South Park Blocks on
Yamhill in between 9th and Park Ave!

YAY!

[PaperRoxas]

[PaperRoxas]

[Washougal_Otaku]

[Washougal_Otaku]

That's not what Google is saying.  Google is saying that it's the stretch of park that's between SW 9th & SW Park Avenues, and SW Yamhill & SW Taylor Streets.

[PaperRoxas]

which is what's next to the little orange dot on my picture ;>> to the left that looks like a construction zone

[Washougal_Otaku]

Sunday
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya- 2nd floor lobby, 2:00 p.m.

[PaperRoxas]

[Washougal_Otaku]

Okay, that's kind of what I thought.

Tales of Photoshoot Pioneer Square Saturday 12 Noon

you may have missed the announcement about photoshoots not being able to happen at the square on the first page:
NOTE: Pioneer Square is already scheduled to have many other public events going on Labor Day weekend, please consider changing your location! (South Park Blocks are within the same distance and are relatively deserted)

[Radien]

No, I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough. I linked to what I believe are the South Park Blocks.

I'm 90% sure I found the place, though. I was checking so I could propose the South Park Blocks as an alternate location for the Zelda and Smash Bros. photo shoots.

[Chek]

Because of the Lego event, we're altering the D. Gray-man plan slightly, again. Sorry.

D.Gray-man - Saturday. Meet at the Starbucks in Pioneer square at 1:00, then move to the First Presbyterian Church on 12th and Morrison at 1:15 for the photoshoot.

Thanks!

[shanime_panda]

Radien- you are correct, the ones you linked were the South Park Blocks.

[NekoChan234]

is there any way the tales of photoshoot can stay there because its the only place I know how to get to.... I am not familiar with the location

[NekoChan234]

THank you for putting the location at pioneer square I will inform everyone it will be there

[Hisuji_Bash]

Metal Gear Solid photo shoot! On Saturday. In the lobby at the bottom of the stairs, at 430. :3

[Spifferiffic]

The "One Piece '10" thread seems a little dead, but I suppose we can always revise the meet time, right?

As of now, can I please request:

One Piece- Sunday at 8:00 am, meet in the lobby, we might move elsewhere later.

Thanks!

[Figgles]

Pandora Hearts has finally picked out the place.

Pandora Hearts - Lobby by Restaurant - 5pm

[FateChooseMe]

Vocaloid has changed the location to Directors Park the time is still the same.

[Jamiche]

So, quick question:  when you say Lobby/2nd floor Lobby, are you planning on meeting there, or is that where your photoshoot is?  Because there really isn't the space for it, especially on the Main Lobby... we have to keep that area clear.

Well, I meant just meeting there. I don't expect the One Piece group will be very large, so it shouldn't cause much of an issue. We'll probably relocate elsewhere.

Should I change it?
