I think that some time during the con we should have a Voodoo Donuts run! I've never been there before but they sound delightful! So, what say everyone else? :3

Ryu-chan · « **Reply #1 on:** August 11, 2008, 11:03:28 pm »

im in obviously since you beat me to the making of the post? xD

oslapedo · « **Reply #2 on:** August 11, 2008, 11:05:21 pm »

That sounds superb! How kind of you to join us!

TanisNikana · « **Reply #3 on:** August 11, 2008, 11:06:34 pm »

I'm in! Remember, Voodoo is cash only.

Ryu-chan · « **Reply #4 on:** August 11, 2008, 11:07:17 pm »

oh why thank you

and is there an atm nearby since it's cash only?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #5 on:** August 11, 2008, 11:07:45 pm »

I might go but isn't it across the river from the hotel? *doesn't want to go that far from the con* I guess it depends on when you want to go.

huh whats voodoo and were is it

oslapedo · « **Reply #7 on:** August 11, 2008, 11:10:21 pm »

I think that when we do this isn't too important, we could probably even wait till the schedules come out to plan the exact date. I just feel that some sort of trip to the magical land of donuts is imperitive >=D

Ryu-chan · « **Reply #8 on:** August 11, 2008, 11:11:22 pm »

i did a map search its only like 1.5 miles or so across the bridge, so....carpool,walk, or share a cab? xD

TanisNikana · « **Reply #9 on:** August 11, 2008, 11:12:04 pm »

Voodoo Too is six blocks from the hotel, on this side of the river. It's slightly less creepy than the original, but the donuts are just as good. And no, no ATMs. Bring money from the mall or your bank.

oslapedo · « **Reply #10 on:** August 11, 2008, 11:13:59 pm »

Either work for me. A voodoo donut is a voodoo donut x)

TanisNikana · « **Reply #11 on:** August 11, 2008, 11:16:06 pm »

Because it's covered in bacon, amirite?

oslapedo · « **Reply #12 on:** August 11, 2008, 11:19:44 pm »

I'll take my bacon donut without the bacon please!

Ryu-chan · « **Reply #13 on:** August 11, 2008, 11:20:21 pm »

smother it in chocolate while your at it!

Then what's the point in going to Voodoo? If you want a bite of Portland, it comes with bacon.

oslapedo · « **Reply #15 on:** August 11, 2008, 11:25:19 pm »

How 'bout I slather my donut with vegetarian-friendly bacon? Perhaps some disgusting tofu by-product that I'd end up picking off anyway

TanisNikana · « **Reply #16 on:** August 11, 2008, 11:27:45 pm »

Vegan donuts are available there.

oslapedo · « **Reply #17 on:** August 11, 2008, 11:35:02 pm »

I'm not extreme enough to be a vegan

Normal donuts are great!

i dunno im a type of person who loves MEAT but i have tried tofu bacon and its pretty good in itself, also i hear their fritters are pretty awesome

oslapedo · « **Reply #19 on:** August 12, 2008, 12:03:13 am »

I hear their fritters are glorious as well. I'm eager to eat their wares ^_^

Ryu-chan · « **Reply #20 on:** August 12, 2008, 12:19:48 am »

and this is the main reason why i'm dieting and working out(or trying to) so i can pig out at the con xD

There's actually an ATM in Voodoo Donut.

And I agree with Nikkiolie that Voodoo is a bit farther than I'd want to go during Kumoricon. But if there is a trip planned some other time, I'd be down with going. I can never get enough Voodoo Donut. Try their Peach Fritters!!! They will blow your mind out your armpit!

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #22 on:** August 12, 2008, 07:57:13 am »

I just noticed that Voodoo 2 was actually on the map image I made. Down south of Buckman field.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #23 on:** August 12, 2008, 08:21:57 am »

Hmm, that's a little closer but I'd still probably just barricade myself in the con space and prefer not to leave it, heh.

Yes, but it's close enough to send low level staffers.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #25 on:** August 12, 2008, 08:28:42 am »

Nice choice, that's the energy needed to keep Kumoricon running smoothly, haha.

Winfred · « **Reply #26 on:** August 12, 2008, 09:06:11 am »

Gasp! Voodoo donuts + Kcon = EXTREMELY DELICIOUS CONVENTION. I'mma make a run there EVERY DAY. YESSSS. -highfives self-

valliegirl · « **Reply #27 on:** August 12, 2008, 09:48:22 am »

Voodoo donuts is totally worth it.

*abducts winfred's self-five*

Voodoo weddings? That's so cool!

Ryu-chan · « **Reply #29 on:** August 12, 2008, 12:37:12 pm »

voodoo 2? kool i didnt see that one, cant wait xD

Sayda · « **Reply #30 on:** August 12, 2008, 12:45:11 pm »

Voodoo Donuts always has a long line to it, though. So if you're willing to stand around for 15 minutes +. Although, I'm sure they're worth it.
I've been there once during Halloween.

oslapedo · « **Reply #31 on:** August 12, 2008, 01:00:14 pm »

15 minutes for the best donut ever? I think I'm willing to wait

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #32 on:** August 12, 2008, 01:23:18 pm »

Yeah, just hope you don't see what I've seen while waiting in line, lol. Let me just say, it is in the heart of downtown Portland and anything can happen in the middle of the night (when I always seem to go), haha.

TanisNikana · « **Reply #33 on:** August 12, 2008, 01:33:05 pm »

WE NEED TO DRAW A DISTINCTION HERE: THERE ARE TWO VOODOO DONUT SHOPS. There is one on each side of the river. We will be attending the one on the east side. This one is not in downtown Portland.

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #34 on:** August 12, 2008, 02:15:21 pm »

Am I gonna have to make a map?

Actually, I've never had to wait in line at voodoo donuts. I went there at 11:00 am though.

Sayda · « **Reply #35 on:** August 12, 2008, 02:25:31 pm »

I've been there twice to the downtown one. Halloween wasn't too bad, but during the FlugTog, it was horrible.

Oddly enough, you have to wait in line during the really late night hours.

oslapedo · « **Reply #37 on:** August 12, 2008, 09:16:23 pm »

Maybe the voodoo spirit has more strength to consume pastries during the hours of dusk?

hehe, yeah, and it was originally only open at night, so the nocturnal crowd was immediately drawn.

oslapedo · « **Reply #39 on:** August 12, 2008, 09:26:10 pm »

Wow really? That's so cool! xD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #40 on:** August 12, 2008, 09:27:42 pm »

Yup, heh, pretty characteristic of Portland, eh?

Ryu-chan · « **Reply #41 on:** August 12, 2008, 10:17:55 pm »

haha nice, so we're pretty much going south a bit, good! this could be like an early morning run or something? i don't personally mind making a donut run for the kumo staff

or shall we go for a nightly run before the rave/party/whatever else people do at night kind of deal?

oslapedo · « **Reply #42 on:** August 12, 2008, 11:13:11 pm »

I like the sound of a morning trip to Voodoo donuts. We could maybe go before the con starts so we don't miss anything

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #43 on:** August 12, 2008, 11:28:44 pm »

And you'd have to get the Bacon Maple Bar! That's breakfast right there!

hehe

oslapedo · « **Reply #44 on:** August 12, 2008, 11:34:53 pm »

Minus the bacon for me and that's a yes!

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #45 on:** August 12, 2008, 11:38:15 pm »

haha yeah, I know, I saw your post earlier about it. ^_^ Or get one of the cereal donuts, the Cap'N Crunch covered one, that's breakfast too!

Sayda · « **Reply #46 on:** August 12, 2008, 11:41:03 pm »

I was at Llyod Center today, and we took the max/bus (since the bridge's closed) down toward VooDoo donuts. It took about 15 minutes to get there from the max stop in front of the Double Tree.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #47 on:** August 12, 2008, 11:45:06 pm »

That's not nearly as bad as I imagined, and even better considering the whole bridge out ordeal. If I went to any VD, it'd probably be the Burnside one just because I have been there so often, while I've never been to Voodoo 2 yet.

StarryShay · « **Reply #48 on:** August 13, 2008, 12:55:09 am »

I wanna go, but it all depends on what my friends are doing.

I think I may ditch them for a Cap'n Crunch Donut though :3

It'd be worth it then you could make them all jealous and have an excuse to go back, cause then they would all want donuts too, lol.
