Seriously??? WASHINGTON?!? I have a hard enough time getting to PORTLAND guys... Can we try for something a little more South so my dad doesn't kill me when I go up to him and say "Hey this _____ can you take me up to ______ for my cosplay group practice?" I know this is asking much... but if we're going to be suggesting traveling, let's try for something that helps people like me, who has to worry about a two hour drive. =/

Seraph · « **Reply #3151 on:** August 12, 2009, 09:06:29 pm »

I take the bus. Just Portland by itself takes me a hour to get to.

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #3152 on:** August 12, 2009, 09:08:16 pm »

It's still two hours. No matter HOW I get up there it's going to be a two hour commute. That's what happens when you live... two hours away...

Is everyone that's going to be participating in the skit going to be able to attend a meeting this weekend?

StarryShay · « **Reply #3153 on:** August 12, 2009, 09:08:49 pm »

I was just suggesting stuff. ='O

Seraph · « **Reply #3154 on:** August 12, 2009, 09:16:55 pm »

@Shay
Thats fine. I have nothing against Vancouver. My mother lives up there after all. It just a long trip such nature wears me out heavily(particularly after doing it for a year in the past...) that I'm usually reluctant to make such trips. A more advance warning for Vancouver may be best as less then a week notice is difficult.

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #3155 on:** August 12, 2009, 09:19:24 pm »

I wasn't trying to snap at your or anything Shay, but traveling even further than Portland is just more incentive for my dad to say no, Portland being bad enough. I'm going to have to do some serious chores for him to take me... -_-;;

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #3156 on:** August 12, 2009, 10:42:23 pm »

Hm.. with the Sunday at 1pm... will it conflict with the early con and Mock Battle practices?

As for busing to Vancouver, I've done it. It's a pain in the ass, in my opinion. XD You take a bus to the Max station, get off at a stop near a C-tran bus stop, like downtown or parkrose/sumner, take the c-tran to vancouver, then take another bus to get to where you're going.

Maybe I'm just mad that the c-tran website won't give me an accurate step-by-step from portland to vancouver, but only the other way around. >.> It'll also take about two hours, depending on where I'd be going in Vancouver. So maybe a ride?

My mom hates me going up to Vancouver by myself anyway. XD

Hmm... I can make it Friday, Sunday if it doesn't conflict with early con, 17th, 18th, and any time after the 24th. I maybe able to do the 19th and 20th too, depending on if my mom decides to leave two days early for Montana or not.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #3157 on:** August 13, 2009, 09:05:44 am »

It seems nearly impossible to set up a meet up at this point.
if we have the meeting in Camas it will definetly not allow anyone to go to the
3 weeks early meet up which I plan on attending [/even though i totally forgot about it til this morning]

Um...Still not definite on the going to California thing next week.
I live close like a 30-60 minute transit to portland and...I'm like.... afraid to ride the bus back home...
Judging from the kumoricon calander the only open weekend is....Sunday 30th OTL

That's far to late...Week of the 23rd is open.
Ill be away on the 22 and 23. I have plans.

There's no time for mixing if we don't get any practice time in and seriously one read through of the draft is not good.
Friday + Saturday I'll be away but as I said before I dont have to be there someone just needs to be able to fill in my spot.

One run through of it should be fine for me to try to get the timing. But it'll be incredibly hard and possibly impossible to do.
I don't know if everyone will be able to record their lines and send it to me on time as well.

Still no word on the stage dimensions either...
OTL I just don't know what to do anymore. Location is a problem. Time is a problem. People not showing up is an even bigger problem!

Michiyo · « **Reply #3158 on:** August 13, 2009, 05:11:30 pm »

Note on locations: Camas, at least where I live in it, is around ten minutes away from Portland. Just mentioning that.
If it can't be there though, I won't be able to make a meeting until next month, and then I have school.

I agree that if we memorize our lines, that one or two runs through should be enough for timing, particularly since by then we should have the stage dimentions. I don't know if they'll be able to hear us though, if we're just talking, since I believe someone said they don't have many microphones. Maybe we could practice the day before, assuming people don't have plans more important than our group skit.

Seraph · « **Reply #3159 on:** August 15, 2009, 08:39:23 pm »

I'm will be try to a meeting tomorrow, Sunday at 5:30pm, as a reminder for everyone.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #3160 on:** August 15, 2009, 08:45:21 pm »

I will try my best to be there at the meeting if not please absent notice me.
It seems that we will be going to California on Monday and I'll have to pack as well as deal with all the stuff from the shop being in my room.

As far as Camas, the only Camas I can find is in Washington and there's no transit there from Portland and it's a 30 minute drive.

MiriaRose · « **Reply #3161 on:** August 16, 2009, 05:59:52 pm »

If there's a meeting, I haven't been invited yet. =\

Michiyo · « **Reply #3162 on:** August 16, 2009, 06:05:50 pm »

Damn, I set reminders and everything, but I was watching tv.

Am I too late to catch anything? And also, why can't we meet here, which would be vastly easier for me to understand and remember?

StarryShay · « **Reply #3163 on:** August 16, 2009, 06:08:33 pm »

Um, well, my computer is ful of viruses like I said, so it'll only let me be in a convo with one other person. ='O

MiriaRose · « **Reply #3164 on:** August 16, 2009, 06:15:21 pm »

We didn't have one, because nobody was on. D<

And Shay, you're excused, I think.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #3165 on:** August 16, 2009, 06:24:32 pm »

Yup only 4 people on again....

StarryShay · « **Reply #3166 on:** August 16, 2009, 06:29:58 pm »

Ahh, we really need to figure things out quick.(:
Why don't we discuss things on the forums, like Michiyo said?

MiriaRose · « **Reply #3167 on:** August 16, 2009, 06:31:20 pm »

Because there's not many of us on, which was why we didn't have a meeting.

Seriously, guys, people need to actually show up for meetings. =\ I know it's a hard concept to get your heads around, but the skit is gonna suck if nothing gets done.

StarryShay · « **Reply #3168 on:** August 16, 2009, 06:32:28 pm »

Or the skit just isn't going to happen. D-:
Theres no point going on stage if you haven't rehearsed enough. ^^;

Sugarlat · « **Reply #3169 on:** August 16, 2009, 06:35:19 pm »

ONE read though is not enough and it wasn't even the final it was the draft.
I'm betting this skit is most likely not going to happen

StarryShay · « **Reply #3170 on:** August 16, 2009, 06:39:41 pm »

Ahh, that's a bummer, I really want this to happen!
I really think we need a whole day (like 12-5? or something) of practicing.
I'm not even in the skit, but I'd love to help. ='D
The problem is finding a place that we can all meet, since we're so spread out..

MiriaRose · « **Reply #3171 on:** August 16, 2009, 06:54:59 pm »

Another problem is people NOT GOING TO MEETINGS, which would be a good time to figure it out.

StarryShay · « **Reply #3172 on:** August 16, 2009, 06:55:55 pm »

Oh my gosh, I just fixed my MSN. ='DDD
I should be able to come to the next oneeee~~!♥

Seraph · « **Reply #3173 on:** August 16, 2009, 07:17:45 pm »

@Shay
nice! ^_^

@Miria
yeah. I'm 1/2 tempted to just try calling people. maybe sending email reminders?

MiriaRose · « **Reply #3174 on:** August 16, 2009, 10:00:11 pm »

YAY GO SHAY!

Seraph, I'm half tempted to put forward a motion that they all be kicked out. >.>

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #3175 on:** August 16, 2009, 10:12:39 pm »

I didn't get home from early con until 7pm 'cause of the bus. o.o

MiriaRose · « **Reply #3176 on:** August 16, 2009, 11:06:02 pm »

Sorry, I was a little bit irritated when I posted that. >.<

MiriaRose · « **Reply #3177 on:** August 16, 2009, 11:53:46 pm »

Yes.

That was very rash of me to say, I'm aware, which is why I apologized. >.<

Seraph · « **Reply #3178 on:** August 17, 2009, 12:29:59 am »

There is certainly a lot of frustration going on in getting the skit ready. While some people certainly have no or very role in the skit and generally don't have much to do with the skit itself(other then provide feedback & ideas), its can be distressing when its on top of most people who have major parts in the skit who are missing.
I think a possible better option for next year at least, is maybe only require the meetings for those who have a major part in whatever skit we make for next year. Also, find maybe find some other way to don't have to free time to commit to a skit, to be involved. IRL Meetings are very difficult since everyone is very far spread out. Maybe let them do something of their own during the panel?
As for online meetings themselves, maybe they need more reworking as well so people feel like they can be involved.

Michiyo · « **Reply #3179 on:** August 17, 2009, 11:04:03 am »

My main problem with online meetings other than that I don't spend that much time on the internet is the location of them. This may sound lame to you guys, but before joining I had never used msn, and I still have no idea how it really works. I have no other use for an msn account, and as such I never think about it or check it. I think if we could all just meet Sundays at 5:30 on the forum, that would be easier.
Also, I don't see how much online meetings can help with the skit.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #3180 on:** August 17, 2009, 11:52:48 am »

Actually meetings have helped a lot with the skit. It basically developed it and shaped it.
Mostly thanks to Seraph and K-rock XD

8D Fix'd

Seraph · « **Reply #3181 on:** August 17, 2009, 02:22:34 pm »

@Sugar
wasn't it Krock? Kinky was gone for a month and has poor luck with MSN.

@Michiyo
Main problem with forum meeting is the nature of it slows everything down. maybe different form of meeting like a private internet chatroom that just needs an internet browser will be easier on you and others that have problems with msn.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #3182 on:** August 17, 2009, 02:26:17 pm »

OTL Right!
sorry I'm really bad with names XD

StarryShay · « **Reply #3183 on:** August 17, 2009, 02:32:26 pm »

Why don't we have more then one online meet a week? x.x
That way, we can see which days are easier for people to get on..

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #3184 on:** August 17, 2009, 03:07:54 pm »

I like Shay's idea. Multiple meetings could also be a way to catch people up on things they missed in previous ones.

Michiyo · « **Reply #3185 on:** August 17, 2009, 07:35:04 pm »

Maybe our group site could get a c-box? I've put c-boxs in on other forums, and I imagine it couldn't be much harder to put one in on that site. I find c-boxs are very convenient.
And I also think more frequent meetings would be nice. The rule could change so that you have to attend at least one meeting a week, so there's a second chance if you forget the first meeting of the week.

StarryShay · « **Reply #3186 on:** August 17, 2009, 08:05:04 pm »

Yup, multiple meetings does sound good.(:
We could also have spontaneous meets, when it seems like alot of people are online..

Naruchan · « **Reply #3187 on:** August 17, 2009, 08:56:59 pm »

That last Idea seems to be one that would work best, because their are some days when we are all on, and then meeting day we're all busy.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #3188 on:** August 17, 2009, 09:31:33 pm »

I can probably set one up on the site.
Give me a moment to figure it out

StarryShay · « **Reply #3189 on:** August 17, 2009, 09:36:40 pm »

Oh, good luck!(:

Sugarlat · « **Reply #3190 on:** August 17, 2009, 09:40:56 pm »

Alright guys
I've updated the website and now we have a chat place with no download needed.
You don't have to sign up for the site but it would help a lot to know who you are.
The chatforum is called Chatango and is free.
There's a link to it from the website and it will open on a new browser/tab and we can chat easily from there.
my account on there is Kotoko1223.
A fast way to reach it is also typing in to your url:
http://cakeonaplane.chatango.com/

ALSO
Those who haven't updated their page please do.
This site was supposed to be finished like...LAST MONTH
and more then half of you have not updated your page.
Please take this seriously cause it's pushing my buttons the wrong way and I might just end up yelling at you.

Michiyo · « **Reply #3191 on:** August 17, 2009, 09:47:39 pm »

Ooh, I love the new chat place, it's awesome. I already posted in it, just as a test.xD Like I said there, I've never seen that style before, but it's really cool.

And I'm glad I already did. No getting yelled at for me this time~=D

StarryShay · « **Reply #3192 on:** August 17, 2009, 09:54:49 pm »

The page thing is really confusing..
This computer is really messed up, so everytime I try to get onto that thing to upload information, the internet restarts. D :

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #3193 on:** August 17, 2009, 10:38:52 pm »

Honestly I'm way too busy working to worry about the site and my page. The only days I get off are the weekend, and once september rolls around I won't even be getting those because the two other waitresses are going back to school.

And THEN when the weekend does roll around, I'm too busy doing things that I don't have time to do during the week.

This weekend was one of those rare weekends when I didn't have anything that had to get done, so I was free to play. I had the plans for going to the Scandi fest for more than a month now, so there was no way I was going to bail to go to the meeting.

Honestly, I'm way too busy with work to do much of anything... I come home and I'm good to get some dinner before I crash. I've still been doing pretty damn good to make it to the meetings (*coughWHENWEHAVETHEMcough*) and making inputs and doing the job Leader left for me.

MiriaRose · « **Reply #3194 on:** August 18, 2009, 04:11:49 pm »

The chatbox won't load for me.

We might be getting DSL internet soon, which would be amazing, but until then, anything browser based won't work for me. Especially the forums, because they take a while to load. D:

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #3195 on:** August 20, 2009, 10:22:54 am »

Someone should do my page for me.

Cuz I suck at things like that. Lol.

Anywhoz, sorry I missed last meeting as well, I haven't had access to a computer since the 5th. >3<

Michiyo · « **Reply #3196 on:** August 20, 2009, 10:55:56 am »

V-K:
If you gave me some text about yourself, I'd put it on the site for you if you want, but it would end up like mine, very plain. I'd have no idea what to write about you, though.xD

Seraph · « **Reply #3197 on:** August 20, 2009, 02:18:59 pm »

Everyone see the clock on my page? =)

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #3198 on:** August 20, 2009, 03:42:10 pm »

Um, what's the website again? Since I'm home for the week I figured I might as well tinker with my page since I have nothing better to do with my time...

Seraph · « **Reply #3199 on:** August 20, 2009, 04:16:20 pm »

I made a new website for us one much better then the google one.
www.cakeonaplane.webs.com
to sign in go to www.webs.com and for username type in cakeonaplane the password is the same as the email.
To edit your page go back a few pages where I've posted links to pictures to help.

Here you are.
