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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
