I think we should meet at the hotel. Or at the park. I have no idea where any of the max stations are and someone was just asking about them to know how to get there.

Invader spleen · « **Reply #51 on:** July 30, 2008, 09:10:53 pm »

Maybe just out in that park across from the hotel? Like right in the middle or something.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #52 on:** July 30, 2008, 09:41:24 pm »

I like the park but I think it needs to be away from the front entrance of the hotel so they don't see this coming.

laharlsama · « **Reply #53 on:** July 30, 2008, 10:47:25 pm »

the max is like directly in front of the hotel, its realy easy. but thats not the point, tamari is right.we cant have them getting a see before we do it heh heh, so i take it tom is giving the guide ^_^ go tom he heh, and the food court sounds super perfect. i love me some eats heh heh. aaaaannnnnndddd, theres an in the groove machine at the tilt. and all sorts of fighter games.

i realy realy hope they dont get mad at the con... that would be trubling yeah. he who thinks i should go as wakkas brother from FF10, i have the brother hood sword and i like to say yeah at te end of my sentances.

I've gone in and talked to the people at this hotel a lot so as long as the group sticks with me we shouldn't get anyone in trouble. I just hope there isn't some weird event going on that weekend, I want to be able to show you guys the different rooms. We can only peek in the rooms when they're empty.

If you guys want to print out your own map then I suggest printing this,
http://pockyclub.elite-otaku.net/2008layout.PNG
I will try and make some photocopies to bring with.

One of the things I want to do is get some pictures of cosplayers on the stairs, I don't know if I would have time to coordinate that sort of thing during the convention. One of the emergency stairwells looks across at the parking garage so you can stand on one and take pictures of the other. I want to get cosplayers on each floor of the stairwell (on the little outdoor platform) and take some pictures from the garage.

Plus there's all sorts of cool things you can do with platforms like this.

Mmmm... 9 floors of vertigo!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #55 on:** July 31, 2008, 08:47:28 am »

wow know I know where everything is going to be before everyone else. Thanks for the map and Tom I agree with you on all points. Now I just need to decide if I want to go as Albel or Temari (if I get to go)

Invader spleen · « **Reply #56 on:** July 31, 2008, 10:16:08 am »

*Is afraid of hights* I'll stick on the bottom.

And thanks for the map. *-* That helps. ^_^

NightLotus · « **Reply #57 on:** July 31, 2008, 11:07:44 am »

the map *kinda* helps

... this would indeed be interesting/fun if i could come!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #58 on:** July 31, 2008, 11:21:14 am »

I hope you can. And I think the map helps a lot. Once we get there everything will make much more sense.

Invader spleen · « **Reply #59 on:** July 31, 2008, 11:27:23 am »

I wonder if my dad will mind taking me. XD Probably not, if I give him $2. He wants us to start helping pay for gas cause he gives us so many rides.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #60 on:** July 31, 2008, 11:27:58 am »

I think this would be a lot of fun. Maybe he'll let you ride the max?

Invader spleen · « **Reply #61 on:** July 31, 2008, 11:29:18 am »

He'd still have to give me a ride to the station. I don't handle public transport well. I usually get really confused. ^_^;

nikkiolie · « **Reply #62 on:** July 31, 2008, 11:31:01 am »

Its ok. I was spoiled and my parents took me everywhere so I get confused too. If he is willing to drive you great. We would love to have you

NightLotus · « **Reply #63 on:** July 31, 2008, 11:41:34 am »

so its the next weekend after this one?

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #64 on:** July 31, 2008, 11:48:27 am »

Invader spleen · « **Reply #65 on:** July 31, 2008, 11:49:27 am »

Someone wanna? I'm sure he wouldn't mind driving me all the way. If he drove me at all he'd probably decide to just drive me the whole way. And I'd love to have me too. ^_^

You'd love to have him drive you all the way?

Either way, which MAX stop are you close to?

Invader spleen · « **Reply #67 on:** July 31, 2008, 12:07:48 pm »

I live practically in Oregon city, so I really don't know. My older sister said one on 82nd but I didn't see a stop that said 82nd. DX I can ask my dad where he usually takes us when we take the max when he gets home. : /

NightLotus · « **Reply #68 on:** July 31, 2008, 12:21:15 pm »

ouch... I take the max from the Hillsboro airport... its kinda a drive and the majority of the times I've taken the max into town (like 4 times) the lights were out and it took FOREVER!

Invader spleen · « **Reply #69 on:** July 31, 2008, 12:23:57 pm »

I've been on the max what... 3 times in my life? XD The only time I remember well was at Kumoricon Lite, going to saint Cupcake.

Sayda · « **Reply #70 on:** July 31, 2008, 12:38:34 pm »

Mmmm Max Stations. Don't worry, they confuse the hell out of me, too. I usually take a little Portland kid with me when I take the Max, cause Steven attends the Art Institute, so he knows where everything is. I just sit there and space out. ~ ~

I'm excited for next weekend! I won't be Light, though.

Invader spleen · « **Reply #71 on:** July 31, 2008, 12:41:48 pm »

Will you be Kadaj? XD He's my all time favorite.

Sayda · « **Reply #72 on:** July 31, 2008, 12:50:26 pm »

Aha, no way dude. Too hot for pleather. I will be though for a little while at Kumoricon, though!

Invader spleen · « **Reply #73 on:** July 31, 2008, 12:54:33 pm »

Yay! XD Thanks. And I'm lucky, the only day I'll be hot is Monday cause I'll be a Gaz that day, it's gonna be interesting. ~.~ But for this, I'll be lucky if my whole cosplay is ready. I won't have my hair done though, that's being saved for con.

saya-chan14 · « **Reply #74 on:** July 31, 2008, 02:28:56 pm »

ok so what time are we meeting up and where

nikkiolie · « **Reply #75 on:** July 31, 2008, 03:29:34 pm »

We are meeting on the 10th at 11? Did we agree on 11? I wont know till next week if I get to go though. If it were the 9th I would know today if I could go.

ichigoxcupcakes · « **Reply #76 on:** July 31, 2008, 04:03:10 pm »

I think we agreed Sunday, August 10th. At least that's what Im seeing on the previous pages.

I got my license so I will be coming X333 I just need to see which cosplay I want to wear. Hmmmmm (thinks) I don't know which one I will have done by then. If none I'll just wear something "cute" if I have anything.

does anyone know where parking would be best?

Sayda · « **Reply #77 on:** July 31, 2008, 07:31:53 pm »

Finally someone other then me who has their license! Good job Natalie.
I have no idea where I'm going to park, either.

Auricle · « **Reply #78 on:** July 31, 2008, 08:04:17 pm »

This sounds like fun! X3 (Is everyone getting annoyed with me yet?)

I need a wig. T_T *No money*

nikkiolie · « **Reply #79 on:** July 31, 2008, 10:41:24 pm »

I requested not to work till 4:30 that Sunday so I should be able to go. As for parking I am just going to wonder around so I know multiple spots to park when the con comes around.

So this is going to be Sunday Aug 10 at 11 am. We are going to wonder around the hotel then go to the mall to eat afterwards possibly ice skating?

laharlsama · « **Reply #80 on:** July 31, 2008, 11:20:59 pm »

dont wrry urahara knows his way around the world ^_^ and is hear to help. ok girl who lives in oregon city, get to the oregon city transit, take the 33 to portland, get off at the max, just ask the driver he'll help you, take the blue line to loyd center and there you go. ive been riding buses and maxes since i was 10, so if anyone AT ALL needs directions i can give you a detailed bus system on what to do,

yes your all right except we meet at 11 30. and i soooo will be wanting to eat heh heh,

as for ice skating HELL FRICKIN YA IM UP FOR ICE SKATING.

sounds sweet! And I can go for sure!

Invader spleen · « **Reply #82 on:** August 01, 2008, 01:17:46 pm »

Oh sure! I might have to watch though, depends how much monnies I get for allowance.

Invader spleen · « **Reply #83 on:** August 01, 2008, 02:54:09 pm »

We agreed on it yeah, but some people might be willing to change. Anyone?

Sayda · « **Reply #84 on:** August 01, 2008, 03:01:07 pm »

I'm indifferent. I don't really mind what day it's on.

Sayda · « **Reply #85 on:** August 01, 2008, 03:58:28 pm »

Are we going ice skating for this?

Invader spleen · « **Reply #86 on:** August 01, 2008, 03:59:16 pm »

It's optional. We've suggested it so it just depends on if you bring money and want to etc. I dunno if I will but it'd be fun. I'm not very good but oh well. ._.

Sayda · « **Reply #87 on:** August 01, 2008, 04:02:39 pm »

Yeah ice skating is pretty easy. You just have to balance, and relax, that's another thing. If you're tense, then it's harder to move, and easier to fall.

Invader spleen · « **Reply #88 on:** August 01, 2008, 04:04:16 pm »

Well I can Ice Skate but I'm not too quick and if I haven't gone in a while it takes a minute to remember. I can spin in *almost whole* circles and go backwards in a fancy kinda way though. lol

NightLotus · « **Reply #89 on:** August 01, 2008, 04:09:37 pm »

i used to ice skate every day... but that was like 2 years ago... yay... this is gonna be fun if we do ice skate

Invader spleen · « **Reply #90 on:** August 01, 2008, 04:13:30 pm »

Well I could only help the little girl that seemed to weigh like 5 pounds... that when she fell she didn't pull me down with her.

I think I can go as Kairi. Won't be finished all the way but I'll at least have the main dress.

Sayda · « **Reply #91 on:** August 01, 2008, 04:21:37 pm »

Yeah dude, if you can do circles, then you're better then I am, too. I can just move swiftly without falling, most of the time.

Invader spleen · « **Reply #92 on:** August 01, 2008, 04:27:33 pm »

Oh wow didn't know I was so good. Maybe it's cause I was skating with one of the top in state? ^_^; But I usually fall over and I've only done a full one once... and if I start to fall I generally let out a loud scream so you might wanna stay away. o.o

nikkiolie · « **Reply #93 on:** August 01, 2008, 06:30:38 pm »

People are thinking about changing the date? I already asked for time off on the 10th so I was kind of set on that. I really don't want to ask for anymore time off. Maybe someone could schedule another event after this one but before the con?

Sayda · « **Reply #94 on:** August 01, 2008, 06:51:15 pm »

Scratch what I said last. ~ ~
I'm going to a picnic with a friend at Oaks Park on Saturday, so Sunday would work better for me.
I concur with nikkiolie. We should just leave the date.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #95 on:** August 01, 2008, 07:00:28 pm »

So we can plan something else some other time......got distracted....you couldn't tell but I was working on this post for like 15 minutes (Avatar was on). But yeah something else before the con

Sayda · « **Reply #96 on:** August 01, 2008, 07:21:28 pm »

Haha I know how that is. I get distracted by porn a lot, and take forever to post a short reply.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #97 on:** August 01, 2008, 07:23:45 pm »

................................avatar is a little better than porn..........but hey whatever gets you though the day.

Invader spleen · « **Reply #98 on:** August 01, 2008, 07:27:08 pm »

Glorious piece of information. XD I get distracted by IM. I guess another meet will have to be planned. *no problems there*

nikkiolie · « **Reply #99 on:** August 01, 2008, 07:31:08 pm »

well someone else can plan it because I doubt I'll be able to go. If I do it's because I wasn't scheduled for anything not because I asked for the day off.
