Author Topic: Attention all Eugene residents who want to have some kind of meetup! (Read 98221 times)

I've read through a bunch of topics here, and it looks like a lot of us in Eugene really want to have some sort of meetup, because let's face it, nothing really happens here, and all those Portlanders shouldn't get to have all the fun! D: From what I've read, though, there doesn't seem to be anything definite planned...

SO! All you other Eugene people! Yes, you! I don't care who you are, if you cosplay or not, if you're a KH fan or not, I propose that we ALL get together and have some crazy awesome times!

This month, even! When works best for you?

Those of us who do cosplay can come in our favorite costume, but those of us who don't can wear whatever and not feel bad about it! We can all meet up in some conspicuous public place (downtown? A park? The mall? Got any good ideas?) and talk about all the awesome things we like, play lots of silly impromptu games, make new friends... sort of like the actual con, except much much smaller and easier to get to (and free, of course!)!

So what do you say?!

oslapedo · « **Reply #1 on:** July 01, 2008, 07:37:35 pm »

This sounds great! Me and my friend live in Oakland/Roseburg, but we'd be willing to treck to Eugene for good times! I'd be Light, and she Mikami

I really like the mall in Eugene, so that sounds good, at least for a little while

I have Summer School (T_T) so It'd have to be on a ~~Fri-Sun. Saturday~~ sounds the best though, IMO

To this I say yay!

Edit: I just talked to my dad and he'll take me and Mikami up to Eugene on a Sunday since that's is day off. So Sunday would be a good day

MiriaRose · « **Reply #2 on:** July 02, 2008, 02:38:34 pm »

Dx Darn, I live in Roseburg, but I'm on vacation right now. I think it's a good idea for those who can go, though!

babysugarbear28 · « **Reply #3 on:** July 02, 2008, 04:21:42 pm »

lol you know how often we try to organize these meetups... XD its so hard to get people together... it would be great if you could pick a date place and time... lol too bad i'm not here after the end of this month...and i wont be here the 19th either yay for staff meetings

goatchild · « **Reply #4 on:** July 03, 2008, 01:23:31 am »

As far as weekends go, I know I'll only be here next weekend (as in not this one over 4th of July, but the next one). That's it. >> We were trying to get a meetup sometime next week during the weekdays, since most of my friends will be in town then. We could obviously have multiple meetups, though. ^^

I think Valley River, a park, or 5th St Market would be fun places to meet up. I'm also a huge fan of Toshi's Ramen and Milky Way's bubble tea, if we want to eat somewhere. X3 Other than that, I'm fine with anything. I REALLY wanna meet ya'll, cuz it's silly that we all live in Eugene but have never met. XP

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #5 on:** July 03, 2008, 03:42:36 pm »

I say we all get together on Sunday the 13th at Valley River Center (since that's a day when everyone can get together) and hang around for a while and maybe go see a movie or something. If I don't overheat in my Org. cloak, I'll face off on the DDR in the Cinemark against anyone that wants to. 'Sides, I'm bringing a lot of my costumes over to my dad's that weekend anyway!

Maybe I'll wear Konan so I don't die of exhaustion...

oslapedo · « **Reply #6 on:** July 05, 2008, 10:04:03 am »

^ I just need to double check with my dad, but that sounds like a plan!

Darknight2433 · « **Reply #7 on:** July 05, 2008, 06:04:59 pm »

I live a long way from Eugene, but I AM going there soon, so hopefully I can meet-up as well!

oslapedo · « **Reply #8 on:** July 08, 2008, 12:13:13 am »

That would be so full of win tat I think I'd explode

Also, on Sunday the 27th Suncoast is having a cosplay love fest thingy. That might be a kewl day to gather with everyone

Darknight2433 · « **Reply #9 on:** July 08, 2008, 01:55:04 pm »

That's the same day I'm meeting up with the Clackamas people at FYE! XD I can't make a decision like that...

goatchild · « **Reply #10 on:** July 08, 2008, 06:14:18 pm »

Yah, I'll be out of town the 27th. The 13th would work though. ^^

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #11 on:** July 08, 2008, 06:39:29 pm »

Both! Both is good! Both is very good!

Where will we meet, and at what time?

goatchild · « **Reply #12 on:** July 08, 2008, 07:24:21 pm »

Valley River is always fun. Lots of shops, and more likely to look at us weird if we cosplay. XD And I vote sometime after noon. Maybe 2 or 3-ish? >>

babysugarbear28 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 08, 2008, 11:32:43 pm »

*pout* i work that sunday... do me a favor and come by the ghetto gateway mall and say hi to me i work at the movies 12 as a concessionist until 5:30pm

Barako · « **Reply #14 on:** July 10, 2008, 10:38:26 pm »

The 13th at Valley River sounds awesome! ^^ Gateway would be fine, too, though, wherever most of us want to go most x3

2 or 3 sounds good to me! The Toshi's Ramen thing sounds fun (oh god, I LOVE that place!!) but I don't know if all of us will have money for it.

(Should I come as Ace, Lenne, or Usopp? Hmmm... probably not Usopp... XD; )

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #15 on:** July 11, 2008, 02:36:41 pm »

FFX Lenne? Please do! I'll probably wear either Riku or Demyx... Please tell me people are actually coming to this one. Where in Valley River will we meet up, and at what time exactly? Suncoast at 2?

Yeah, definitely Riku. If I wore something like my TB nun I wouldn't be able to move. That is a very 'stand there and let people take pictures' kind of costume. Or at least the left side of my bod is in that... I can move my right side! Good thing I'm right-handed!

Barako · « **Reply #16 on:** July 11, 2008, 03:33:53 pm »

Suncoast at 2 works for me! ^^

I hope people are really coming to this one, too! I will definitely for sure be there (probably as Lenne since you asked, just gotta find the skirt) with at least one of my friends who's not on this board, probably two. If the second one can come, we'll have an L there <3

(And you're gonna be Riku? That's awesome! Can't wait!

)

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #17 on:** July 11, 2008, 03:50:43 pm »

: D Yay, Lenne! I had always wanted to do Songstress Yuna, but after I saw Lenne I wanted to make that one even more.

I'm going to bring a video camera so as to better record our (hopefully) nutty antics... And show you guys the videos I took at Sakuracon.

goatchild · « **Reply #18 on:** July 11, 2008, 07:33:27 pm »

Me and Hashi will be there hopefully! Assuming our families don't go crazy for some reason. >> We will most likely be Xigbar and Roxas. Kind of. Casual style I guess. ANYway, Suncoast at 2 sounds good to me! And I think we should totally bus to Gateway and Toshi's, but that's just me. X3

Barako · « **Reply #19 on:** July 11, 2008, 08:13:29 pm »

Awesome!

So, six of us for sure so far~!

I like the Toshi's Ramen idea too, and Gateway would be cool too. ^_^ God, I feel hungry just thinking about those noodles~

Do any of you guys draw? We should totally all swap sketches! ^^

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #20 on:** July 11, 2008, 11:53:59 pm »

I'll bring my sketchbook! It's got some seriously crack-tastic stuff in it, though. Like for instance a half-colored version of Cloud Strife as a Senator in the Galactic Republic. You know, Star Wars? I need to finish coloring him. Valor Form Kairi, KH versions of Vincent Valentine and a half-finished one of Grimmjow Jagerjacques... I'll have to bring that. I wonder if my bus pass is still good...

XD my bus pass on my school ID says 'Valid until further notice', so I have no clue if it's still good or not. But bussing to Toshi's in costume sounds like amazing fun. I want me some Gyoza ramen! (I get Gyoza and soy sauce-based ramen, and put the Gyoza in the ramen : D best stuff ever!)

Bussing all the way to Gateway, too? We could go invade Tilt and play DDR until they realize that I'm banned and kick us out! (Long story, don't ask...)

Anyone up for maybe seeing the second Hellboy while we're there?

Barako · « **Reply #21 on:** July 12, 2008, 03:50:13 am »

I'm a poor art student and I can't afford to pay for a movie now, honestly. ^^; It's a stretch getting ramen, even, but I love it so much and have been wanting to go back there for ages that I want to do it anyway. Gyoza in ramen sounds awesome, by the way *_* I've never had their gyoza before, but I saw someone order them once and they looked so yummy! <3

I have no idea what's in my sketchbook, actually (been busy the whole year with assignments!), but I'd definitely love to do some sketches to trade on the spot! x3

I'm totally up for DDR if we do go to Gateway!

I don't like the machine at Tilt though, it's bootlegged and kinda crappy... we could go to the one at Movies 12? It's got better pads than the one at 17 if memory serves me~

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #22 on:** July 12, 2008, 09:32:45 am »

Sounds good to me!

oslapedo · « **Reply #23 on:** July 12, 2008, 04:46:25 pm »

I just got back from Ashland and I can't do anything tommorrow since I've been gone for three days. I hope you all... have fun... without me! [/waangst]

I hope you all enjoy your sushi and whatnot

Hashi · « **Reply #24 on:** July 13, 2008, 11:54:23 am »

Yo, XP Im Hashi, the friend Goatchild is bringing along. So, we're still meeting today at 2 at suncoast in VRC right? Im also trying to find the hours for Toshis Ramen because Yagi/Goatchild doesnt think theyre open on Sundays...

Edit: Yeah, Toshies is closed Sundays...So, any other plans for food?

Oh! and @LtCommanderRichie: I know our School ID Bus Passes for Sheldon ended June 30th, so I dont know if it may be the same for your school?

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #25 on:** July 13, 2008, 12:39:07 pm »

Oak Hill's end... I dunno when. But it's either valid or it's not. I guess I'll know when we get on the bus!

Gah, I woke up this morning with two cold sores on my upper lip. I've got stuff on it now! Yaaaaaay!

You know, for a replacement for Toshi's why don't we catch a bus to the new-ish walk-mall thing around Market of Choice and that new Party City? Right across the street is Sunrise, and they have a whole wall of pocky and other such things.

And my dad wants to meet everyone, so please for the love of Holy... Don't mess this up. He may never let me alone with you guys again.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #26 on:** July 13, 2008, 06:15:05 pm »

Well that was fun...

I'M NOT THE STUPID BROTHER!

Hashi · « **Reply #27 on:** July 13, 2008, 07:36:14 pm »

XD That was Fun. I hope we get the videos uploaded soon!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #28 on:** July 13, 2008, 10:12:41 pm »

All three of mine are uploaded! LtCommanderRichie on Youtube.

babysugarbear28 · « **Reply #29 on:** July 13, 2008, 10:14:24 pm »

*pouts* nobody came to visit me at work today... i am a sad bear....

goatchild · « **Reply #30 on:** July 14, 2008, 12:19:14 am »

Hey all! I'll have my vids up hopefully sometime soon. It's mostly just us DDRing. XP

YOU'RE STILL THE STUPID BROTHER CUZ YOU WERE THE ONE WEARING A COAT AND A WIG XD;;

@BSB: I wanted to come visit you, but by the time we left VRC and Milky Way it was getting late and we had to go home. >.< But we will visit you sometime~!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #31 on:** July 14, 2008, 02:54:38 am »

*Sniffle* I told you I wasn't the stupid brother! There were other people in trenchcoats!

oslapedo · « **Reply #32 on:** July 14, 2008, 05:09:47 pm »

I'm glad you all had fun...

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #33 on:** July 14, 2008, 07:07:40 pm »

You should come to the thing at Suncoast on the 27th, Osla! I'm going to it!

oslapedo · « **Reply #34 on:** July 14, 2008, 07:25:02 pm »

I hopefully can! I'll be in Washington at the end of the month, but I should be back before then!

goatchild · « **Reply #35 on:** July 14, 2008, 11:31:41 pm »

My vids are up on Youtube! They're mostly just us DDRing. XD

Oh man, I've never been on youtube before... it's weird seeing things from another perspective, hahaha. XD

That was a lot of fun! x3 I'll definitely be at the thing on the 27th, anyone know what time it is? ^^

Oh, and it turns out I'm an Opportunist Seme XD;

goatchild · « **Reply #37 on:** July 15, 2008, 01:17:10 pm »

DUDE~ me too! I'm an opportunist seme! XD;;

If ya'll went to VRC again, Suncoast would be all, "Um, the contest was last week." XD;;

Hashi · « **Reply #38 on:** July 15, 2008, 08:38:44 pm »

lmao It seems all my friends and I are Opportunist Seme's XDD with the exception of a few ukes..

Haha, Suncoast is probably just so confused

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #39 on:** July 15, 2008, 08:47:51 pm »

Ooh! Ooh! Count me in! I'm an opportunist seme too! And that vid of me an' Barako doing DDR synchronized... That was a bit scary. Like, adjskfjwuhtD: kinda stuff.

Lemme find the flier that guy gave me that I stuffed in my bag, Barako... There's no set time! Yay!

Is 'Legend of the Stone of Gelel' dubbed already or something, because it's on this flier...

Sayda · « **Reply #40 on:** July 16, 2008, 11:02:24 am »

Ah frix. I missed it.
You kids should go to the dance this Friday.

Yagi, Hashi, Kaze.

goatchild · « **Reply #41 on:** July 17, 2008, 08:28:14 pm »

I'll be packing for Idaho. XP And I'll be IN Idaho on the 27th. Driving back, actually. *le sigh* So take a vid for the rest of us, yeah? ^^

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #42 on:** July 17, 2008, 10:31:51 pm »

Don't worry, you'll be in the camera.

Radien · « **Reply #43 on:** July 17, 2008, 10:53:29 pm »

I lived in Springfield until I moved in January this year. You guys down there really need to get together more often.

GO. FOLLOW BARAKO. Spending all your time watching anime alone on YouTube isn't healthy!!

(Obviously, this means that wearing crazy costumes in public is.)

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #44 on:** July 20, 2008, 12:23:28 pm »

Whoever's going had better bring a camera, because it turns out that I'll be in Sun River.

Barako · « **Reply #45 on:** July 21, 2008, 03:46:38 pm »

Aww~!

I have a really crappy camera and I am terrible at taking pictures, but I'll do it if no one else is coming with a camera... Am I the only one going, now?

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #46 on:** July 26, 2008, 02:40:18 pm »

GUESS WHAT? I don't leave for Sunriver until Monday, so I can go! I'll wear my artbook TB nun, since I've got that here. I know there's one other cosplayer coming, not too sure what she'll be wearing but I do know she's coming.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #47 on:** July 27, 2008, 12:22:26 pm »

Double post apologies where they apply...

AGH! I slept in! Okay, what time are we gonna meet up? I have no idea! D: I shouldn't have stayed up that late!

... Anyone? I'm not gonna be the only one there, am I?

Two o'clock good? T_T I should have figured this out yesterday.

Barako · « **Reply #48 on:** July 27, 2008, 02:21:31 pm »

Whoa whoa whoa, why did I think the 27th was NEXT Sunday? DDD:

Umumum, I'm gonna call them and see if it's still going on... crapcrapcrap, I was gonna fix my costume too D:

Barako · « **Reply #49 on:** July 27, 2008, 02:23:38 pm »

Ughhh, I just called them, and it turns out they did it at 1! Dx

How did they expect anyone to get there on time if they wouldn't say what time it was?! x__x;

Anyway, crap, I guess I missed it... sorry guys T_T;
