Will the con be in the same place?

Negima · « **Reply #1 on:** October 24, 2005, 08:52:39 am »

I hear that it won't be because another group reserved the hotel that same weekend :cry: . I've heard rumors where it'll be next year but, like I said, they're rumors.

Waffles · « **Reply #2 on:** October 24, 2005, 09:51:47 am »

Well, as long as it it is in a locatioin I can find I won't fuss too much.

The Doubletree booked someone else for Labor Day weekend before we got to them, and we really don't want to give up the three-day Labor Day weekend. And the bigwigs have a place in mind but don't want to reveal it until the contract is signed and everything is confirmed as settled. There should be an announcement made on the site once that happens.

Hakushaku · « **Reply #5 on:** October 24, 2005, 09:11:49 pm »

Thanks for letting me know.

Waffles · « **Reply #6 on:** October 25, 2005, 08:28:24 am »

Im afraid if i told the place that I have heard its going to be gus Will beat me with a wooden spoon

guspasho · « **Reply #7 on:** October 25, 2005, 08:49:07 am »

Not just a wooden spoon, but a wooden spork! They sting much more. :twisted:

-sighs-
Oh well... We should take advantage of not being in the same place and run around and scare the guests at the other hotels beacuse this one's rumored to be so small. -snicker-

Negima · « **Reply #10 on:** October 25, 2005, 05:59:13 pm »

I feel like we should give a motto to this con or something:

"Like a cloud moving across the sky, we never stay in the same place."

Or something like that. :roll:

just as long as steel props are allowed -_-;; i couldnt have a blunt sheathed and peace bonded sword because it had metal on it >.<

staze · « **Reply #12 on:** October 26, 2005, 01:18:10 am »

I'm still working out what will and won't be allowed for props. It will also require talking to the hotel.

Really though, what's more important? Having your props, or letting the hotel employee's feel safe?

The hotel is plenty big... but we're going to have to get rather forceful to keep people from clotting in the halls. (you know, sickle-cell con-emea, or something).

Hehh... ;) Props. Not really, I think hotel staff come first... by like... a small fraction.)

Then does that mean that there will be a limited number of people allowed in the 'glomping hall'?

Waffles · « **Reply #14 on:** October 26, 2005, 12:56:09 pm »

who needs safety when you have a 6ft piece of steel in your hands

staze · « **Reply #15 on:** October 26, 2005, 05:03:25 pm »

'glomping hall'?

For the most part, glomping (in it's purest sense) is not okay anymore. Exceptions would be, someone glomping Chris from BakaZoku.

The reason it's generally not okay anymore because of... well... someone like Chris glomping someone else. =P

So anyway... I am hoping to plow through the con policies and get them posted within the next week or two. School and work are taking up a fair amount of my time.

Thanks!

Trumby · « **Reply #16 on:** October 26, 2005, 06:43:02 pm »

I think what she meant by that was the hugging "glomping" not the full on flying tackle glomping. You know, the people standing in the hall with their "hug me please" signs and what not.

x_x Err... so... No one's allowed to glomp beacuse some people might be too 'large' to glomp other persons without causing injury?

staze · « **Reply #18 on:** October 27, 2005, 02:08:05 am »

Correct. And the hug me signs aren't "kosher" either.

God, I feel like I'm always bringing the bad news.

Eh, just part of the job.

No... hug me signs? TT___TT -clings- None at all?

staze · « **Reply #20 on:** October 27, 2005, 11:58:45 pm »

any solicitation of acts (sexual, monetary, or otherwise) are prohibited.

That means signs saying "hug me". =(

That has been the case for 2 years now, and is the case at pretty much every con.

Sorry.

I will have the revised con policies up within the next 2 weeks.

Luana-neko · « **Reply #21 on:** October 28, 2005, 09:42:35 am »

What about unsolicited acts ^_^;; ? Like if I see someone who's in a costume I absolutely adore and I ask them if it's okay to glomp them? And like Trumby said, it wouldnt be the flying tackle glomp of doom, just the hug-type ^.^;; 'Cuz that's an integral part of the con experience, in my opinion...

Neko_Chan · « **Reply #22 on:** October 28, 2005, 09:46:27 am »

OMG.
Does that mean the pocky club will be shut down? D: Beacuse... we hug people and give them pcoky and we... advertise the fact that we're gonna hug you and give you pocky.
TT___TT Please don't shut us ddoowwnnn. -bribes you with pocky-

Jewish Sign was Kosher^^ though haha

Darn no glomp hall ; ;

Waffles · « **Reply #24 on:** October 28, 2005, 11:58:48 am »

Does a sign that says please donate a hug count?

guspasho · « **Reply #25 on:** October 28, 2005, 12:49:39 pm »

That would be solicitation, yes.

staze · « **Reply #26 on:** October 28, 2005, 02:17:22 pm »

I'm not going to get into the ins and outs of how one MIGHT get around the rules.

Needless to say, Solicitation is not okay. Random Glomping is not okay.

Asking someone if you can "glomp" them, then giving them a hug is fine.

Asking someone if you can "glomp" them, then licking his/her face is not.

So really, it comes down to a bit of follow the rules, and do what seems rational. We're all at the con to have fun, that doesn't mean throwing all niceties out the window. =P

Please don't make me spell out the definition of Glomp in the Policies. Please.

Waffles · « **Reply #27 on:** October 28, 2005, 05:38:23 pm »

i was joking man its a joke

hehe i licked someones face

Neko! Remember the rules of pocky club? We do not advertise that we are a glomping service because in all actuality, we're not. We are a Pocky delivery service. The glomps come from the fact that we like to cheer people up by delivering the Pocky enthusiastically, but we do have the escort of our delivery agent ask permission first. So we still fall within the rules.

So, has anyone seen the new location? how big is it?

Kimiski · « **Reply #32 on:** December 13, 2005, 04:57:21 am »

I was up in Portland a few days ago with nothing to do, so we decide to stop by the new hotel to get a sneek peak. You guys, Its AWESOME!!! It's only maybe 5 stories High at most, but its huge width wise. It takes up so much surface area. Really, its nice. And easy to find. You just turn off before you go onto the bridge coming into Portland (from the way i go, from salem) Its loacted right by a Gas station, a burger king and a taco bell, so easy acess for those who have money to eat lunch. A couple blocks away theres a mall as well. You would have to take a car to get to it though its not in walking distance. And a Safeway. Its really cool, i cant wait.

guspasho · « **Reply #33 on:** December 13, 2005, 08:02:21 am »

Actually, it's the first Portland exit from Seattle, and the last from Salem. I-5 exit 308. But yeah, Jantzen Beach mall and a lot of fast food restaurants are nearby, as well as a Barnes & Noble (though there will be no shortage of manga on sale in the exhibitors' hall.)

ambergen87 · « **Reply #34 on:** December 15, 2005, 07:19:52 am »

Orycon was held there for many years. It's a sci-fi/sci-fantasy con I went to for many years. I also went there for the Tarton Ball just a few weeks ago. It's a great place. Thanks for choosing a hotel I am so familar with.
