Meet up sugestions!

[xxxchihiroxxx]

IMPORTANT: If you are interested in the bowling meetup read the Updates and post if you are interested in atending

Me and Nikki were talking and decided it would be a good idea to get a forum going on ideeas for meetup.

this is what we have so far

1. Bowling (I can call and see how many lanes we can reserve so we can brake up into teams what not, maybe cosplay themed teams)
2. Mini gold (Bolwinkels has the best course, but its outdoors so we would have to eather do it soon or wait till spring)
3. Ice skating (any time of the year)
4. Laser tag (we would have to go in groups depending how many people are interested in it)
5. Picknicks
6. Movies
7. Roller skating
8. Cosplay workshop
9. Oaks park

any other sugestions are welcomed :3

UPDATES:

Bowling: In progress of planning, I need to pin down a date but it may be around october or novemeber? I have a few places in mind and I'm looking into reserving lanes but I want to know how many people are interested in it first before I ask about the cost of reserving so I know how many I can get. Also I'm thinking we make it a tournament and split into teams, I need help deciding a prize if that goes through! While I can reserve lanes there is also a fee that is needed to be payed to play and for shoes, I expect you guys to pay for your own shoes and what not thank you very much cause my wallet is not fat as of this instant.

Golf: If you want to do golf I'm not focusing on it right now but we have two options, go in the winter to the glow in the dark place downtown, near the hilton aprently, which can work for winter fall or spring. or we could wait till spring and go to bulwinkles which has a long course that i believe splits into two diffrent courses ._. not sure.

Laser tag: Bulwinkles looks like the popular choice since they have a big arcade right next to it. If we go to Bulwinkles we have the option of also tackling mini golf at the same time... I'm thinking if we go to Bulwinkles we wait till spring so its nice weather and we can enjoy the out side activitys as well :3 if we do this I want to get a LOT of people involved and see if we can reserve a party room for it.

Ice skating: Winter activity, we have the option between the loyed mall or a smaller place that i forget what street its on. the smaller place is just ice skating no mall atached.

Picknicks: Nikki's job.

Movies: not much planned yet.

Roller skating: MOre then likley at oaks park. if we do it bring durable cosplay, falling on rolerskates causes a bit more damage to costumes and the wood floor adds a lot of bruises... If we do this I think a practice sesion should be in order ^^;; also Oaks does the hokey pokey, couple skating, and other fun stuff.

Cosplay workshop: not much planned yet

Oaks Park: Postponed untill spring when it opens back up.

If we go ice skating we need to go to the rink in Sherwood...its MUCH bigger than the one at Lloyd.

[xxxchihiroxxx]

but the nice thing about lyod is that its in a mall so you can go get something to eat before or after, and kinda raid the mall which is fun...

Pros to the Lyod:
+Mall
+Every one knows where it is
+Its fun to see people taking pictures of us while we skate

Sherwood:

+It's bigger
+A bit better quality
+we dont have to worry as much about when skating lesons are

[nikkiolie]

There is a snack stand at Sherwood but yeah i agree that Lloyd is fun but if we are having an ice skating meet up then we don't need to do much other then skate >_>

Either way is fine with me...I like the Pirate store

[EveofAbyss]

I am all for Mini-Golf at Bullwinkle's, Bowling, and/or Laser Tag. Laser Tag would be awesome with forum-friends.

Hmmm, what else....oh, Dir En Grey concert! There are already mini-meet ups for that, but that doesn't mean you can't have a full-on group meet-up there, too.

[xxxchihiroxxx]

isnt there already a meetup planned for the concert?

[Cassiopeia]

Laser tag!!

[nikkiolie]

lazer tag would be fun too.....also movies? Going to see movies in cosplay would be fun....O.O right Drive Inn (but we would have to wait till next year for that)

[EveofAbyss]

Movies would be fun, for sure. There are still plenty of movies to anticipate and go see in groups (Watchmen, Wolverine: X-Men Origins, etc.).

[nikkiolie]

I want to see those ^_^


We can also go skating....like the kind without ice. There is a rink at Oaks

[xxxchihiroxxx]

alright those sound like fun to me :3

I think we can have a chance to do almost all these, but I will need some help orginzing them. ._. Nikki said she could help me with bowling but is anyone else willing to step up to the plate?

[nikkiolie]

We are having a naruto ice skating gathering on October 4th at Lloyd....that's the only other event other than the picnic

[Darknight2433]

OAKS PARK PLZ

[xxxchihiroxxx]

oh thats a great idea but I think they closed up for thewinter already D:

[Darknight2433]

Ima go cry now. D: We had a ton of fun last time! Ask Hatakegirl or Saya...

[xxxchihiroxxx]

well I'll make an effort to check it out ^^ and if it turns out its already closed we will go check when they open up again for spring.

[Darknight2433]

WHOO DANG THIS IS A PUBLIC FORUM OH NOEZ

I don't care. XD

[Sugarlat]

Who really does care?
Your not the stalkie your always the stalker.
But House get togethers are always fun.
LIKE POTLUCKS! Or whatever they call them XD

[Darknight2433]

It'd be fun...if only Syd could come down...

And everyone should go to Oaks Park! It realllly is fun!

[xxxchihiroxxx]

Kakashi: I'm sorry I checked and they closed down ) : We gotta wait till spring now... but once spring hits it would be a great get together! Like a nice big party ^oo^ with rides and screamen eagle! and of course junk food with a picknick in the park!

[nikkiolie]

My parents don't really care if I have people at my house....and they don't need to know anyone (some of the perks about being 20 ^_^)

[Wuntvor]

Looks like you are al Portland area, a bit far for me to travel with gas prices like they are. (sigh)  Sounds like lots of fun though.

I am Eugene based, and a bit old for some of these events. (Only 3 more days till 45, GAHH!) but I do have anime at my place on Fridays.  Nikkiolie, I think is the closest to me, and she would still have about a 30-45 minute commute.  Anyway, thought I would throw it out there for any posters that do live in Eugene area.  More info available on the Eugene Meet thread.

[nikkiolie]

...wow 45 you are quite old But you have a family and what not.

I'm not sure if I will be able to make it to Eugene for a meet-up or not...I'll know as time gets closer to the event.

[xxxchihiroxxx]

hey guys I'ma start plannen the bowling one soon, do you guys have any sugestions?

I was thinking we could group into teams and have like a minni tournament.

[TomtheFanboy]

If people want minigolf they should go to Glowing Greens in downtown Portland (one block away from the 2009 hotel!) because it is glow in the dark, 3D and pirate themed. We could totally reserve the party room there.

[nikkiolie]

O.O We need to do that....is it indoor or outdoor? Because if it was indoor then that could be something we do during winter

[xxxchihiroxxx]

oh Tom thats a good idea ._. I agree with nikki if its indoor (which is what it sounds) we might want to save it for winter when its harder to do stuffs.

I talked to a few bowling alleys, we can reserve lanes in advance aprently which is a good pluss.

[nikkiolie]

thats good news ^_^

[Blue Leader]

Movies, picnics and laser tag sounds pretty awesome to me. I can't ice skate or roller skate to save my life, and I'm not too good at bowling or golf either. Doesn't mean I can't try, though.

The Family Fun Center/Bullwinkle's has an awesome laser tag arena. At least they used to when I was there a few years ago-- I don't know if it ever changed or not. But laser tag may be a bit difficult for some outfits, assuming we all go in costume. Would be fun, though.

[nikkiolie]

There is a place in Beaverton that is a lazer tag....place. It's only lazer tag....I think there is a few arcade games. But it is off Allen and really easy to find

[melchizedek]

Well they have DDR there so I bet TOFU would go

[xxxchihiroxxx]

bulwinkles might be a good idea. they have laser tag and a huge arcade, with DDR xD

[Darknight2433]

THAT'D BE EPIC

I got socked in the leg by the batting cages. I got a HUGE bruise AND I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT XD

I was even limping! can you get any better then that?!?!

I'll totally down for Bullwinkles!

[oslapedo]

I'm down for somethin : D

If I'm in the area when you guys do this stuff I shall totally join you all!

[Hazuza]

I want to have some sort of photoshoot-oriented meet sometime :T Like in a good setting with not too many normal people walking around, watching us, getting in the way of photos and whatnot.


And maybe some sort of meet like a cosplay workshop, but where we pool all our scrap fabric (because most of us should have some pretty big piles by now =w= ) and make plushies or hats or other little accessories |3
But eh.

[Agent47]

I'm definitely down for some bowling, or ice skating.

And actually, the bowling alley and skating rink, both located at the Valley Plaza in Beaverton are decent places to go.

I like that idea.....we should work on that....I figure at the naruto ice skating if it isn't raining we will go to the park for a photo shoot but we should also do it with other series as well...

[xxxchihiroxxx]

ok I'm thinking that bulwinkles is pretty much where to go for laser tag then hm? do you guys want to do golf while we are there or go to the glow in the dark place tom sugested?

[xxxchihiroxxx]

Ok guys updated the first post with some new information about the meetup sugestions. If your interested in the bolwing then please please please post if you want to attend so I can see how many lanes we should reserve.

[Darknight2433]

Which bowling place?

[xxxchihiroxxx]

Theres this one place I have in mind that has glow in the dark lanes and stuff and they have decent prices. I forget the name. I think its called Valley Lanes but I need to look it up again...

[Darknight2433]

I mean like, where is it? XD I have a bowling alley near me with 'Cosmic Bowling', the glow in the dark lanes, and it's kinda by Oak Grove 8 cinemas.

[xxxchihiroxxx]

thats the place! I think at least ._.

[Hazuza]

There's a valley lanes in beaverton? 2Is that the one? O3o

[Darknight2433]
