What upsetting news to find out that Kumoricon is going to be sharing the same days as this years Portland Pirate Festival! I love both & now I am forced to miss some of one for the other. There is no way I am going to skip the festival completely...was WAY too much fun last year! Looks like the group I am going to con with & I will be venturing away from con for a day to spend at the festival...gonna be a very eventful weekend indeed. Anyone other pirates here planning on sailing down to the festival for a day?

I always want to go to the pirate fest but I am always to broke/sick/tired after con. Sad that its same time as con, I wonder if its the same deal as pax this year?

WHAt??!??!?
Damn, I wanted to go...But there's no way I'll be able to miss any of Kumo TT.TT

Oh well, I guess I'll just aim for next year...

Or maybe I'll just hold my own Pirate party for those who couldn't go XD

I think that those who want to go to the Pirate thing as well should write e-mails to the people coordinating it, so that they'll know that their scheduling needs some help.

Might not be a bad idea...but if I just skip out part of a con day to go, I save the money of an entire other weekend in a hotel lol. But still, would rather do what I did last year & just go to both completely...

Yes I was very sad to hear of this conflict. My dearies' band has played there, though I don't know if they're going to again this year (Man Overboard). I LARPed in a pirate fleet in the SCA for years...still do...actually this was how I met TUNAC, before TUNAC --> Alto Nimbus -- > Kumoricon.......

Its been the same weekend at Kumoricon a couple of times. Pax east starts on same day k-con sept 3rd. Not the biggest deal as it seems that most people who go to one aren't the ones who would other. Mostly I think its too bad because it would be awesome to have penny arcade as a guest but just not going to happen.

For the record you know what also starts september 3rd?....... My 29th BIRTHDAY!!!

wow 29

Talk about bad timing. D: I wasn't planning on going this year but it does suck for those who were.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #11 on:** February 09, 2011, 02:33:37 am »

Uh...but....Crap, I can't miss both. This is really perplexing. DX And I'd feel bad missing some of Kumo to go to pirate fest for a day but I can't miss out on it. ;A;

It just dawned on me that KC, other than those with set-up obligations, is Sa-Su-M, while the Pirate Fest is likely F-Sa-Su (that's a guess).

If that's the case, then I might venture forth for a couple hours Friday. It would amuse me to wear my pirate-event garb to KC anyway!

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #17 on:** February 09, 2011, 01:25:48 pm »

If that's the case, then it should be fine for many people who'd have to face this decision. (Doesn't matter to me personally, mind you,...)

superjaz · « **Reply #18 on:** February 09, 2011, 01:38:21 pm »

Way! And there is even a parp across the street that people can run across to show they can go to the party!

Unfortunately that's not the case...PPF is a Sat/Sun only event so it will be going on during convention days only. I posted a link to the website in my first post incase people need some details.

Well that sucks. I really want to go to both but from what I have seen the Pirate Festival is more of a happening place on the second day.
