Ok so this is the first cosplay picnic I've planned so bear with me and throw in ideas. The dates can be from De. 27th 2008 to Jan 3rd 2009. And I was thinking about 1 ish at Lents Park in SE Portland? Sound good? Please lemme know!

too cold for a picnic. picnics aren't usually until spring or summer vacation. and right now a lot of people are probably busy through those times since it's the holiday season. I'm not trying to rain down on your parade, I really do love cosplay picnics but it's too soon to have one now. the location seems like a pretty good place though.

sweet. thanks for the input

nikkiolie · « **Reply #3 on:** December 13, 2008, 08:29:54 pm »

Yeah I would say wait for the picnic till spring or summer when it is warmer out side

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #4 on:** December 14, 2008, 12:03:36 am »

What about the 28th and make it a New Year's Eve picnic, just an inside picnic?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #5 on:** December 14, 2008, 12:04:03 am »

ok where would it be?

Sugarlat · « **Reply #6 on:** December 14, 2008, 01:58:06 am »

There's a cake on a plane meet up on the 27th i heard so some people might not be able to make it on the 27th
28th sounds okay I guess. It's close to mew though.
We had a meet up today also XD
It's pretty crunch time for the holidays and stuff you know? It's hectic XD

tofutakeout · « **Reply #7 on:** December 14, 2008, 09:19:38 am »

yeah I can't really handle any more meetups. I'm with sugar on this.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #8 on:** December 14, 2008, 11:39:20 am »

[/nods] it's to tough on the holidays and stuff
Maybe in Jan or something, inside. >>
I dun like outside where it's cold XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #9 on:** December 14, 2008, 11:59:37 am »

well the dates did go to Jan 3 if you look at the first post >_>

Sugarlat · « **Reply #10 on:** December 14, 2008, 12:33:24 pm »

Oh i guess that works XD
very close to new years though. That's the last saturday before I have to go back to school o-o

nikkiolie · « **Reply #11 on:** December 14, 2008, 01:06:30 pm »

Yeah I don't think I would be able to make it too close to the new years because I will be trying to squeeze in as much work time as possible.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #12 on:** December 14, 2008, 01:15:14 pm »

same, January 3rd still feels to soon to me. I'm just gonna stick with picnics belong is warmer weather.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #13 on:** December 14, 2008, 01:39:51 pm »

That works to.
what about a january party instead or something? Or maybe we should wait till valentines day XD

tofutakeout · « **Reply #14 on:** December 14, 2008, 01:45:04 pm »

ooooh valentines party would the next best meet up. :3 we bring little boxes with valentines in them for people. maybe play some love oriented games. okay I'm getting ahead of myself now. >_<

a januray party? you mean just like a normal meetup or something special about jan?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #15 on:** December 14, 2008, 01:47:31 pm »

I like the idea of a Valentines party. We should do that ^_^

Sugarlat · « **Reply #16 on:** December 14, 2008, 02:51:50 pm »

All lovie in the air, it'll still be kinda cold though.

Blackstar · « **Reply #17 on:** December 14, 2008, 03:12:47 pm »

A valentines day party would be soo cool and I would be 18 by then woot

but i digress. We should definitely have a valentines day party.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #18 on:** December 14, 2008, 03:16:47 pm »

We should, but that would it be?
Should we make a topic for it? XD
Even if it is a bit early!

tofutakeout · « **Reply #19 on:** December 14, 2008, 03:17:52 pm »

well it's only early by 2 months and half. gives people some time to plan for it. so go ahead.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #20 on:** December 14, 2008, 05:28:17 pm »

its actually exactly two months away XD

i actually like the idea of a valentines theme ^ ^

one other thing i would love to do is to get a bunch of cosplayers together at Bullwinkles Family Fun Center lol

nikkiolie · « **Reply #23 on:** December 15, 2008, 02:45:59 pm »

Yeah that would be fun, though I think we could run into issues with parents and what not.

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #24 on:** December 15, 2008, 07:31:53 pm »

ah true

well when/if a topic for the valentines day picnic comes about please let me know asap

nikkiolie · « **Reply #25 on:** December 15, 2008, 11:28:45 pm »

Bullwinkles! Has laser tag, karts and an arcade, and yes the restaurant. That's where our picnic should be. The valentines day event is good, but not exactly a picnic. And down the way is Fry's electronics with anime DVDs and some manga.

Ugh, Valentines day. A year ago, I only sort of disliked that holiday, because it reminded me that I was still single. But after finally getting a girlfriend, and then being dumped by said girlfriend, I feel VERY different about Valentines day. Now, I'd rather go into a chemical induced coma then be concious at any point on said day.

Another date would be better.

You pirate! That's my line. Arrgh!

Seriously though, that is nearly my same sad experience. But at least at this event we can forget that we're single or have an attachment to take with us. Even forget how old we are, or how young we are. The week after on V day we can cry all we want at the clubs and high school dances. But the week before, we will party! If anyone is Link on that day, they should bring a lot of heart pieces to share with everyone.

you were at the winter meetup? Sorry I can't put a face to a name

Though lots of people have issues with Valentines day. Like why must there be a day to express your love? Also THOUSANDS are alone on that day so you really should feel like you are the only one. The time will come when you aren't alone anymore ^_^

I was wearing a santa hat, a leather jacket, and a skull face mask at the winter meet up.
And I seriously doubt I'll be with anyone for a while.

maybe a jan 19 party if my opinion is valid. Then we could also have a b-day party too XP

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #35 on:** December 16, 2008, 09:20:13 pm »

between you as a pirate and me as a pirate, you keep stealing my lines, so I guess I'll roll for initiative to go to the V day party. And whatever happens happens. I get someone, whoopee I'm saved. I have fun tying a square not onto someone, or just to be funny, to a plant! Whoopee I'm cushioned from the impact of a possibly lonely valentines day. Either way I win.

I don't think anyone is going to be planing something that soon. Like some have said there is too many events too close together and it is getting a little heck tick. I know that I am going to be......Jan 19th is a Monday......not many people are going to be able to make that. I'm going to be in Corvallis then and it's too close to mew con. After Mew con I think I will be ready for a break.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #37 on:** December 16, 2008, 10:35:00 pm »

has anyone gone to Mewcon before and if so, how long was the line to get in, or how long did it take? The place they're holding it this year is the same one that Gamestorm was at last spring.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #38 on:** December 16, 2008, 11:25:21 pm »

and what time do their doors open? I do not want to repeat Kumoricon and stand in line for 4-6 hours.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #39 on:** December 17, 2008, 12:31:05 am »

Unless someone did already, could someone make a proposed head count of this event, or even unless it's been added to the event calander already, could someone make a calendar with the head counts on it?

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #40 on:** December 17, 2008, 02:18:27 am »

Okay, we've got the suggestion of January 19th on the floor. One location suggested was Bulwinkles in Willsonville.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #41 on:** December 17, 2008, 09:13:29 pm »

again January 19th is a Monday. Most people wont be going to it.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #42 on:** December 18, 2008, 01:22:51 am »

Why not the 18th?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #43 on:** December 18, 2008, 08:54:31 am »

Again I come back to the argument that there is too much going on in these two months. I know I will need a break. I don't plan on going to anything between mew con and the v-day party.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #44 on:** December 19, 2008, 03:33:47 am »

To me this will be my makeup for all the ones I've missed. The only thing that will stop me is the snow.
