I agree with this, but after having spent two hours talking with our Facilities Liaison today, please have some patience. This situation is not his fault, we are having problems securing a location due to the fact that everywhere we've tried so far is booked. I am working with him to get us a good location. If you do have questions or concerns, please remember we are only human and be nice to us.

look at our necks!
(random invader zim zimmyness)

and when we start wondering where a the next meeting would be, our pocky boxes would heat up and suddenly have directions on them, it would lead us to a door and inside would be the meeting yay!!!!

I might actually be able to make it to this one.

Well, I just sent a response to (ARGH! I forgot who it was), asking about Clark College hosting it once more. To sum it up, my response was a YES.

Hawkeye · « **Reply #6 on:** June 07, 2008, 08:23:50 pm »

Thank the gods, thank you as well Aaron. Please contact David if you haven't already.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #7 on:** June 09, 2008, 02:25:28 pm »

Yeah, it was David, so he should have read my e-mail by now, or hopefully soon.

I love you Aaron but I'm personally praying it ends up being Salem. I flat out can't afford to get up there....

I know what you mean chris and I are in tigard and we arn't sure, gas prices are just getting crazey

lol checking in here from tahoe... gas prices ranged from 4.02 up to 4.79 a gallon.... oh and do we have a for sure place yet?

vampirek_yaoi · « **Reply #11 on:** June 11, 2008, 06:56:35 am »

Sorry I'm still a little confuse on where its going to be.....

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #12 on:** June 11, 2008, 06:58:30 am »

Don't worry vampirek, you aren't the only one.

Just wait for someone to change the front page, until then it's up in the air.

Hawkeye · « **Reply #13 on:** June 11, 2008, 02:51:21 pm »

I second Tom's thought, just wait until we have confirmation.
*edit*
I just spoke with our Facilities Liaison and although he is waiting for *official* word from Clark College, set your plans for going to Vancouver. Also, it looks like after June, we may be at the hotel meetings-wise for the rest of the summer. Again, this is unofficial, but most likely.

I am waiting for conformation from Washougal_Otaku who is not aswering phone calls or emails nad has not for days. If I can not get a hold of him today then I will move the meeting somewhere else.

Evaldas · « **Reply #16 on:** June 12, 2008, 10:12:26 am »

Downtown at PSU wasn't too bad, but that is only because I am already downtown on most Sundays.

If you have any way of getting a hold of me I just need a simple yes or no on the space so we can get it on the web page.

I can send you a private message tomorrow as soon as i ask him.

babysugarbear28 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 12, 2008, 11:50:56 pm »

from what I gathered we've tried most every location that has had us in the past and most of them will not take us for that day. Eugene has extremely limited options so unless we can get something like the DIVA center secured the ability to go to Eugene is very slim. Next year I would like to see our Eugene meeting moved up to around March when gas prices are still low so people have the financial ability to head out that far since most of the kcon pack live up towards the portland area.

*hopes for confirmation because she needs to call home and have one of her coworkers request off days for her*

DancingTofu · « **Reply #23 on:** June 13, 2008, 02:52:56 am »

What sort of content are we figuring on discussing at this next meeting? Whether I come or not is a two-variable function of proximity and relevance.

thats a good idea, I hope we all remeber that next year

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #25 on:** June 13, 2008, 10:00:36 am »

You guys didn't like PSU for the meeting space, you liked playing Rock Band.

The room we had last time would have been OK if it had AIR, like air conditioning or at least some fans.

Now, don't forget about Skype people! You really don't have to spend much money on gas if you have a microphone and speakers for your computer. You don't even have to organize a group since we've had so few people online in the past.

I'm tempted to hold a General Meeting Party one of these days, but I will have Pocky Club announcements at the June meeting so I have to be present.

melchizedek · « **Reply #26 on:** June 13, 2008, 02:21:08 pm »

The only thing better than having a meeting with rock band is one with cake

kalira · « **Reply #27 on:** June 13, 2008, 02:28:37 pm »

We are now confirmed for Clark Collage. I will get this posted on the main page soon.

Going to try and make this as I need to register as staff since I couldn't last meeting (no forms *sadface* ), but not sure if I can. If not I'll have to skip out on a couple hours of PDXLAN to make it to the July meeting.

superjaz · « **Reply #30 on:** June 13, 2008, 10:47:55 pm »

hey i make the spelling mistakes around here!

RemSaverem · « **Reply #31 on:** June 14, 2008, 01:27:55 am »

I might've asked you to do this before and spaced it, but I really am that bad at learning technology (no really. no REALLY). so, if you (Tom) or anyone could please PM me details on how to put skype on a computer and how to call in with it, just in case....yah.

no idea where Clark is btw.

OK...so I've never used Skype, so hopefully somebody else will help.

First, get headphones/speakers and a microphone for your computer.

Second, go here and download the program.
http://skype.com/download/skype/windows/

After the installation of the program I don't know. I've never found our ventrillo headset to try it out.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #33 on:** June 22, 2008, 07:52:36 am »

Hey, I know this is a last minute thing, but could someone bring a Portland-area phone book? I think it'd be a good idea to try to find as many places as possible for asking for donations to the auction.

Eddy Curant · « **Reply #34 on:** June 22, 2008, 11:50:27 am »

What is the Skype call in # or Id for the June meeting?

I heard that all meetings after the one today at Clark Collage are going to be at the Hotel where K-Con will be held this year which I think its pretty sweet.

Hawkeye · « **Reply #37 on:** June 23, 2008, 08:42:24 am »

That is confirmed by our vice con chair, I asked her yesterday. So woot for no more traveling to weird ends of the earth.

Ditto to that! It's kinda like being there, but not being there.

Look forward to July's meeting- though it seems that it is planned the same day as the swing dance. Despite that, it will be cool to see the hotel (I for one, having never been there before.)

That's intentional--the dance starts an hour after the meeting ends, and the locations of each are less than a mile apart.

Mr_Phelps · « **Reply #45 on:** June 25, 2008, 09:49:44 pm »

Thanks for getting the video links up!

Now we just need to find a stable system we can dedicate to Skype (which was our downfall this session - gomen).

Hawkeye · « **Reply #46 on:** June 25, 2008, 11:06:23 pm »

With the problems you've all had with skype, have you considered using ventrilo? I've made my server information available for convention use before. It's probably lower quality than skype from what I've heard, but it can hold a lot of people on one server, and can even be used easily by Mac users.

JeffT · « **Reply #47 on:** June 25, 2008, 11:10:10 pm »

In this case it was actually a problem with the speaker device (the "speaker" part of it worked but it indicated its microphone was disabled and we had no idea how to enable it), and not Skype itself. Really we are just going to have to test it much more carefully prior to the meeting and that will be our basic strategy to be sure everything is working.

However, it would probably be a good idea to consider Ventrilo. It looks like it's available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, which is a plus (widest platform support is important). We'd need to look into it further to see if it's a good idea.
