Author Topic: Cosplay car wash! (Read 113700 times)

Invader spleen · « **on:** August 04, 2008, 01:03:42 pm »

Hey there everyone! I was talking with some friends about the con, and ice skating and I know that some people have been talking about going skating. Now wouldn't it be neat if we could have the whole rink to ourselves? Think of the crazy cosplay possibilities. XP In order to do that we'd have to raise $260.

Soo we decided to have a car wash. We think it should be held in Tualatin or Wilsonville would be a nice place that is in the middle of where a lot of people live. One major issue of course is "What about my cosplay?" You can do your hair and wear a swim suit in character or if your really lucky your cosplay is water proof.
Maybe if you don't have a cosplay you can handle money or something. Jobs for all I'm sure.
So what do you guys think?

Update
The car wash will be in the Haggen in Tualatin from 12:00-5:00 PM.
(You don't have to go the whole time if you don't want to.)
I will be there with a clip board to keep track of who is where doing what so we don't get confused. Bring whatever you can; towels, buckets, hoses and even paper cups for root beer floats- anything.
The website for Haggen is: www.haggen.com/LocationDetail.aspx?id=61
If you have any further questions feel free to message me.
Thanks everyone.

I live in Tualatin and would definitely be down for this (as long as the Car Wash did not fall during Con weekend or something). So I vote for Tualatin and could do cash handling or something. I probably wouldn't be too good at luring people in, haha. I'll leave that to the swimsuit cosplayers, lol.

Hahahaha! Awwwwww no swim trunks???

-sigh- Fangirl moment failed Q_Q

nikkiolie · « **Reply #9 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:11:18 pm »

Either one is good for me. Tualatin is a little bit closer for some of us....actually it is closer for everyone....is Tualatin ok?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #10 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:12:12 pm »

How about we try to make it the 16th and the 17 (next weekend)?

saya-chan14 · « **Reply #11 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:12:25 pm »

im so up for this we can go to like a big store like wall mart and ask to have a car wash there we would have to give them like 6% of what we eran

HatakeGirlX · « **Reply #12 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:13:36 pm »

Tualitin works, (oh btw I just got the okay to go to oaks park!

see you guys tomorrow! woo!)

Invader spleen · « **Reply #13 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:14:10 pm »

Lol, sure thing. It won't be during the con, we want it to be at least a week in advance and I was thinking maybe two days. 16 and 17? Sounds good. The more people the better, we should make posters too and put them up all over. Many people many towns, success.

HatakeGirlX · « **Reply #14 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:15:19 pm »

lol, Yea I will post abunch around Sherwood

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #15 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:15:19 pm »

Well yeah, I'd be down for those days. I'd be getting back into town about noon, so if you start before then, I can just show up late, right?

Darknight2433 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:15:36 pm »

Who wants to make the poster? ^^ If someone does, we can put them up in a lot of places after printing them out.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #17 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:15:55 pm »

Now we need to find a place and make sure that it is ok and that we have everything we need

Tualitin is 20.7 mi from my house witch is ok for me

Invader spleen · « **Reply #19 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:16:51 pm »

We should make a poster and everyone print out as many as they are willing and post them around where they live. Maybe we should have more than one location? I don't think people would drive anymore than 15 miles for a car wash.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #20 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:18:15 pm »

and if I have to work those.......nvm I'm not telling you guys v.v

I think we should just advertise in that area.

Invader spleen · « **Reply #21 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:21:21 pm »

I can make them when I get on my computer, I'm at a friend's house. It wouldn't be very big though maybe two pieces of paper put together. But you can just print them out put them up and there we go. Sound good?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #22 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:23:49 pm »

I need to start making the fliers for the sept 20th party

Invader spleen · « **Reply #23 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:26:52 pm »

Fliers fliers everywhere. XP If anyone else wants to put up fliers they can make their own or use the ones I make in a while.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #24 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:28:08 pm »

Don't we have to decide on a location first so the location can be on the fliers?

Invader spleen · « **Reply #25 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:30:38 pm »

I knew that. o.O Umm, anybody know the area well enough? I don't know it at all.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #26 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:31:05 pm »

yeah so in tualatin where could we have it? There is the Hagen, Fred Meyer, K-mart......what else?

Invader spleen · « **Reply #27 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:34:54 pm »

We can have it in parking lots like that?

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #28 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:38:19 pm »

Hagen, Fred Meyer, K-Mart/Michael's, Albertson's, Safeway, Grocery Outlet, but there's also that Park on Tualatin Rd (with the skate park), it has a parking lot, could be a good area.

HatakeGirlX · « **Reply #29 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:39:17 pm »

I Think the tualitin one should be by hagens that a huge parking lot

Invader spleen · « **Reply #30 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:41:15 pm »

As long as there is room the park sounds good, because other wise we have to pay for using the space or something like that right? Would we have enough water?

HatakeGirlX · « **Reply #31 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:45:59 pm »

Not if we find out wich store owns the parking lot because some parkinglots people dont have a say in that like in sherwood the mcdonalds parking lot is used for car washes all the time which they get TONS of buissness for sinces 99 goes right past it :3

HatakeGirlX · « **Reply #32 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:49:25 pm »

Meh I meant the carwash gets tons of buissness not mcdonalds ;P
Wich reminds me...hmm ima go get some teriyaki chicken from the chinese place in that parking lot soon :3

Invader spleen · « **Reply #33 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:50:46 pm »

Okay, would someone be okay with asking around or should I call some of the stores and ask what they think?

Tightness! Car wash at Haggen's parking lot, which is not too far from the Tualatin Library (manga anyone?) or the park (picnic afterwards?) and right across the tracks from Ancient Wonders (game warriors welcome!) That is my birthday weekend (Aug 15th I'm 21!

) so hopefully I'll be able to get Saturday off, or at least half day and show up late as usual.

HatakeGirlX · « **Reply #35 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:51:45 pm »

I havta go wash my step dads car now -_-
Paying off my cosplay lol ttyl

Invader spleen · « **Reply #36 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:54:25 pm »

Okay then, make sure he goes driving through some mud before the weekend. lol. Do you thing they would let us use the parking lot at Haggens? Food after sounds good. I was thinking we could have people go but snacks whenever someone gets hungry too.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #37 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:55:13 pm »

Haggen really does sound like the best lot. It is the biggest, and I'd be fine with doing snack runs.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #38 on:** August 04, 2008, 02:01:52 pm »

you would have to call them and ask. That is the best way to get the right answer.

Invader spleen · « **Reply #39 on:** August 04, 2008, 02:04:11 pm »

Okay. Does anyone happen to have the number or address?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #43 on:** August 04, 2008, 03:07:00 pm »

Invader spleen · « **Reply #44 on:** August 04, 2008, 03:12:01 pm »

Yeah, we'll let everyone in. I'm sure the car wash will be lots of fun, sorry you can't make it. :[

nikkiolie · « **Reply #45 on:** August 04, 2008, 03:15:36 pm »

I have posted what the fliers for the September 20th party are going to look like under it's topic. I plan on bringing some to meet ups so that people can have some to hand out to friends. I am also going to work on the name tags.

HatakeGirlX · « **Reply #46 on:** August 04, 2008, 03:35:12 pm »

Awesome, I told my family about it and my bro is going to try to bring his car to the car wash as well!

saya-chan14 · « **Reply #47 on:** August 04, 2008, 03:59:40 pm »

Invader spleen · « **Reply #48 on:** August 04, 2008, 04:02:18 pm »

Well how much would people with cars pay for a car wash? I'd guess in the neighborhood of 4 dollars?

saya-chan14 · « **Reply #49 on:** August 04, 2008, 04:12:53 pm »

$5 sound good
