Since Todd Haberkorn has gotten quite popular of late and plans to return to Kumoricon this year, who all would be interested in attending a Greedling dinner?
I've been to a few Risembool Ranger dinners before and I was thinking that it would be a good idea to start one up for Todd Haberkorn's fan base. What do you guys think?

Date: Friday, September 2nd, 2011 A.D. at 7:00 P.M.
Place: Little Italy's

Those attending:
kyokyo866
nekovamp13
Raveen92
graphicnovellife
Teddy_Bearxx and her brother
Maydrock and cousin
FluffySora
TsunderePrussian

Sign-ups are now closed.

Sounds interesting, though could you explain more of what it is and what you're planning?

The idea is for Todd's fans (and Todd if he has time) to get together at a restaurant for a lunch or dinner. Vic Mignogna's fans hold Risembool Ranger dinners at various cons, which Vic often goes to and they're a lot of fun.
I'm not sure where the meet-up would take place, but I would like to find out what restaurants are nearby and which ones would be the best candidates.

Raveen92 · « **Reply #6 on:** April 07, 2011, 04:04:20 pm »

Any idea where or when? I'm interested as a Greedling, Ranger, Skirt, Pomato, Emerald Dragon, and Sidekick. Never gone to one of these dinners before.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #7 on:** April 07, 2011, 04:10:19 pm »

I'm still confused; what's a greedling? Is that the "official term" for a Haberkorn fanatic?

Raveen92 · « **Reply #8 on:** April 07, 2011, 04:11:13 pm »

Yes, under the name T.H.E. Platoon I think

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #9 on:** April 07, 2011, 04:19:24 pm »

Sorry, you've lost me. Where does the term "greedling" come from? And what's with the "E"?

PaladinCecil79 · « **Reply #10 on:** April 07, 2011, 04:19:45 pm »

Even though I'm a member myself, I've wondered what Greedling meant, too.

Raveen92 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 07, 2011, 04:20:37 pm »

slight spoiler:

Ling become Greed, and Greed + Ling = Greedling

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #12 on:** April 07, 2011, 04:24:27 pm »

I still don't get it, but at least the source of the name makes sense, I guess.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 07, 2011, 10:56:27 pm »

I'd totally go ^^
And probably cosplay as Ling!!!

PaladinCecil79 · « **Reply #14 on:** April 18, 2011, 03:48:23 pm »

Does anyone know any places nearby the hotel that would be a good location?
I'm not that familiar with Vancouver and I want to find a place with good food that's not too expensive.

jaybug · « **Reply #15 on:** April 18, 2011, 07:10:37 pm »

What is the name of the deadly sin/ homunculus played by Todd? Greed, yes? What would you call a bunch of Greed fans?

Besides it makes an odd pun to say Greedlings, Earthlings!

If you're a fan of puns, I'd like to recommend:

Little Italy's Trattoria
901 Washington Street
Vancouver, WA 98660

From the Hilton hotel:

Turn left (North) onto Columbia Street
Head up to West Evergreen Blvd. and take a right (East)
Take the first right (South), which is on Washington Street
Little Italy's is the last business on the left before the first street (West 9th)

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 19, 2011, 03:10:16 pm »

I would love to attend this! Sounds like awesome fun! And the Little Italy idea kinda makes me laugh since he plays Italy but it'd be perfect! :L

Raveen92 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 19, 2011, 08:40:30 pm »

I don't feel like driving to Washington, its about a 1.5 hour drive and gas prices, uhh. I'll sit back from this meeting.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 20, 2011, 12:13:13 pm »

The meeting would be during Kumoricon, so if you're going, you'll already be in Vancouver.....

That restraunt sounds pretty good ^^ And we could meet in the park or something and all walk there!

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #20 on:** April 20, 2011, 05:58:56 pm »

Itd be funny if all of us were dressed as people that he voiced (Death the Kid, Italy, Watanuki, etc.) for the dinner xD

Raveen92 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 20, 2011, 07:57:14 pm »

Closest I can be is LanFan (Ling's guard) or I could wear My Commissioned Keroro Hat XD Once I get it.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #22 on:** April 22, 2011, 11:27:16 am »

If I have Ling, I'll probably be him (doing Greed Ling since I don't feel like open-chest binding...), or I could be Kid...I have both~

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #23 on:** April 22, 2011, 01:21:06 pm »

If you guys truly want to do Little Italy's, here's their website.

http://littleitalystrattoria.com/

If you click on "Locations" the first one you'll see is the one I'm referring to.

You can also see their menu. The most expensive thing there (that I saw) is $16.99 ($18.38 after tax), but that was a lamb skewer. Their paninis range from $6.59 to $8.89, their calzones are either $8.89 or $9.29 (and they're EPIC), they have various pizzas to choose from, pasta dishes from $10.49 to $13.39, and various appetizers and stuff, too!

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #24 on:** April 22, 2011, 06:22:42 pm »

I'll probably be Italy for this~ Now we just need Todds permission for this.. or at least contact him, bout the idea xD or at least what do you guys think would be a good idea for what day to do it?

PaladinCecil79 · « **Reply #25 on:** April 28, 2011, 01:32:08 am »

I'll send him an e-mail about it.
For now, I'm starting a mock sign-up and will be taking up to ten people. If you'd like to join, head to http://greedling.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=1&action=display&thread=194
Note: This is a Proboards forum, so in order to access the page, you'll need to be a Greedling member or join the club.
The Sign-up will be open until May 15th and then I'll start the real one.

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #26 on:** April 28, 2011, 10:09:15 am »

I totally signed up for it :L excitement!

PaladinCecil79 · « **Reply #27 on:** May 15, 2011, 08:05:37 pm »

Awesome. I look forward to seeing you there. I have now opened the official sign-up sheet and will take up to ten people.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #28 on:** May 16, 2011, 01:33:11 pm »

Woot! I'm signed up ^^
I'll either be Kid, or Greed-Ling for this!

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #29 on:** May 16, 2011, 01:38:01 pm »

Hurray on the offical list! Totally being italy for this no joke~

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #30 on:** May 16, 2011, 02:22:39 pm »

^ Glad I could be of help to you guys!

PaladinCecil79 · « **Reply #31 on:** May 16, 2011, 02:32:22 pm »

We should also work on a day and time to hold it. I was thinking either Sunday evening or Monday morning or afternoon.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #32 on:** May 16, 2011, 02:33:38 pm »

Since guests usually leave on Monday, sometimes early Monday, I'd recommend Sunday evening.

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #33 on:** May 16, 2011, 03:55:54 pm »

Sunday evening though has a lot of stuff going on like dances and panels. What if it was on the prereg night?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #34 on:** May 16, 2011, 10:22:11 pm »

That might work out best, especially for Todd. He'll probably be busy with various panels and such throughout the con, so prior to might be the way to go.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #35 on:** May 16, 2011, 11:31:57 pm »

Yeah, and the thing with Sunday evening, is there is the Cosplay Contest that I will be apart of, so that's a no.

I do think Pre reg would be the best ^^ We could all try to meet up in the reg line and then all head out when we're done!

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #36 on:** May 17, 2011, 11:29:15 am »

Sounds like a plan! Getting badge's then getting dinner sounds like a good mode of action~ Any sort of time that would be estimated for this? like.. sometime between 4-7 or something?

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #37 on:** May 17, 2011, 11:39:10 am »

Well, I think reg starts at 4......So it's probably gonna have to be around 7.

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #38 on:** May 17, 2011, 12:10:02 pm »

Yea that sounds ideal! Course it also depends when Todd wants to~

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #39 on:** May 17, 2011, 12:23:29 pm »

Very true.

So I've decided that I will be Greed Ling for this ^^
I will probably be a geek and bring my own chopsticks with me >>

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #40 on:** May 17, 2011, 01:11:20 pm »

I just took a look at their website, hoping to find the info on when they're open on Fridays (which is until 10pm, btw). I found something interesting to point out...

There is a gravel parking lot nearby that occupies an entire block. The people that own it are okay with Little Italy customers using the lot, but ONLY AFTER 5PM. Anyone who parks there before 5pm runs the risk of having their vehicle towed.

I doubt that this will be an issue in this case, but I figured that it'd be a good idea to point this out anyways, in case there were going to be plans for car trips, or something. You might luck out and find some vacant spots elsewhere, but the website made it sound like the possibilities would be rather tough. if you go with 4pm, it might be more plausible...

PaladinCecil79 · « **Reply #41 on:** May 19, 2011, 02:56:41 am »

Thanks for the info. I'd like everyone who wants to attend to give a day and time they think would work and then we can talk about which time would be best.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #42 on:** May 19, 2011, 11:03:51 am »

I vote for Day zero (Friday) around 7 (after reg)

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #43 on:** May 19, 2011, 03:05:04 pm »

Prereg Friday (day 0) and 4-7, after we get our prereg badges~

saki-sempai · « **Reply #44 on:** May 19, 2011, 04:45:56 pm »

This sounds /amazing/. If I can find Watanuki again~ *laughs*

PaladinCecil79 · « **Reply #45 on:** May 21, 2011, 10:29:29 am »

For the time being, we'll do Friday at 7:00.
I recently got a response from Todd and he said he appreciated what we're doing and will be happy to come by and support it. I asked him what day would work best (I told him I can schedule it between Friday and Monday) and will let you know what he says.

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #46 on:** May 21, 2011, 10:54:00 am »

I hope he chooses friday! ALl the other days are so busy D: hough on Monday thatd be like impossible for almost everyone xD

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #47 on:** May 21, 2011, 12:22:59 pm »

I agree!
Hope for Friday!!!

graphicnovellife · « **Reply #48 on:** May 21, 2011, 11:39:41 pm »

Alrightie! just signed up on the offical page and I would like to claim the spot of Watanuki x3 Dear God I love that man X'3

PaladinCecil79 · « **Reply #49 on:** June 01, 2011, 06:54:04 pm »

The sign-up list is now closed and I'll be calling in for the reservation in a day or two. For now, the scheduled time is Friday at 7:00. If everyone still agrees with that time, I'll schedule it for then, but if anyone thinks that a different time might be better, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
