to far for me to make that trip but if anyone lives in central oregon we might be able to do the same thing

I really want to see this but I live in Aloha(Thats between Beaverton and Hillsboro). If people live around there I'd go for sure.

Rorshach and I will probably be at this, unless I end up seeing a screening before then

Kahlan4 · « **Reply #5 on:** February 20, 2009, 02:57:50 am »

^that is fantastic ^.^

I want to go, but have no way of getting home after

I guess I'll have to pass.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #7 on:** February 20, 2009, 09:40:51 am »

Devin said she would try to come with us

I may try to be here before 7 that day. I could leave school at noon and get here at 1

About two/three blocks from PSU. Where HWY 26 splits at City Center.

uraharafreak · « **Reply #12 on:** February 21, 2009, 08:34:31 am »

Ah it's okay. I get my car back during Sakura Con, so in April I can start going to more meet-ups again.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #13 on:** February 21, 2009, 08:39:03 am »

Ah, well we'll have to hang out sometime after you get your car back then! ^_^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #14 on:** February 21, 2009, 08:57:06 am »

Well I am really looking forward to this

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #15 on:** February 21, 2009, 08:59:06 am »

Yush! Me too. ^_^

They actually have Watchmen action figures at Hot Topic now. Unfortunately no Dr. Manhattan, but they do have Rorschach, Nite Owl, and...the female, lol. Silk something.

It's pretty sweet.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #16 on:** February 21, 2009, 09:00:47 am »

yeah that is pretty sweet. There is collectible Entertainment Weekly with them on the cover XD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #17 on:** February 21, 2009, 09:01:25 am »

That's pretty cool. Would be good to have in a collection, even if one doesn't read EW consistently.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #18 on:** February 21, 2009, 09:02:47 am »

well we get it....I don't necessarily read it XD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #19 on:** February 21, 2009, 09:10:44 am »

Yeah, I think Kahlan gets it, and the only one I have even bothered to pick up was the Heath Ledger issue.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #20 on:** February 21, 2009, 11:54:26 am »

yeah when I am bored I will look it over.

Back on topic though. I will order my ticket sometime this weekend

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #21 on:** February 21, 2009, 12:22:50 pm »

Cool. ^_^ So you're gonna aim for the Tigard theater with us?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #22 on:** February 21, 2009, 02:05:42 pm »

Yeah I much rather go to the Tigard than Bridgeport x.x

did you get your tickets at the theater or online?

got them online ^.^

and we like tigard better than bridgeport too, bridgeport just gets too crowded >.<

still have to decide where for dinner... probably wanna be at the theater by 10:30 or so to wait in line... so either shari's or ole ole would work, really depends on what everyone else wants ^.^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #24 on:** February 21, 2009, 03:59:37 pm »

What site did you use? Fandango doesn't show anything showing on Thursday >_>

wait.....nvm I see it

Ordering now ^_^

Alright just making sure. Thursday March 5 12:01 am at the Tigard 11 right?

RemSaverem · « **Reply #25 on:** February 21, 2009, 09:42:09 pm »

I know that the theater at which mellonemrys works is hosting bastett as an artist in the hall for the opening. Not sure if they're still recruiting artists, but maybe drop a PM to one of them (or check the_creation_station@yahoogroups.com archives on yahoo) if potentially interested.

yep yep ^.^

anyone have a preference on dinner so we can decide for sure? lol. i've got a couple people from work that want to go, but i need to let them know all the details soon so they can plan for it ^.^

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #27 on:** February 21, 2009, 10:48:06 pm »

I'd suggest Ole Ole, aaand, relatively early on, because you just know there will be a line starting way too soon in the evening.

So, maybe dinner at 9, so we can get to the theater between 10:00 and 10:30?

Kahlan4 · « **Reply #28 on:** February 22, 2009, 03:07:33 am »

that sounds good to me ^.^

we'll have to bring along some things to keep us occupied and entertained while waiting in line, lol. too bad dissidia won't be out yet, otherwise we could all play it on our psp's... only in a perfect world... haha

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #29 on:** February 22, 2009, 07:52:41 am »

haha, yeeeah. We can bring a card game or board game or something.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #30 on:** February 22, 2009, 09:15:26 am »

I'll bring my psp and my camera XD

and if you want I can bring apples to apples. I need to know that one kinda soon so I can bring it back from school.

also ole ole sounds good to me. I like mexican food. You can have a meal for dirt cheap there

(price of a soda, and then eat the chips and salsa XD)

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #31 on:** February 22, 2009, 11:48:33 am »

haha, great plan, Nichole. The place's prices actually aren't too far from the price of a soda, but for a whole meal (and better than Taco Bell).

And Apples to Apples sounds fun; I've got it here too to if you don't want to bother with bringing it back from school.

I've also got Family Guy trivia, or Scrabble, heh

nikkiolie · « **Reply #32 on:** February 22, 2009, 12:01:39 pm »

I'm sure I'll end up getting more than just the chips....but I love chips and salsa XD I also plan on bringing my own candy for the movie

I would say the trivia would be best. The only reason I think trivia would be better is because there is no pieces to lose

And I'll bring apples to apples if you bring the trivia.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #33 on:** February 22, 2009, 12:12:43 pm »

Okay, sounds like a dealio!

And it is pretty much tradition with Kahlan and me to have fun getting candy from another store and smuggling it in, so you're right on track with us, haha.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #34 on:** February 22, 2009, 12:15:27 pm »

I don't want to spend an extra $10-15 on food and on top of that I don't want to wait in those lines XD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #35 on:** February 22, 2009, 12:16:26 pm »

Yeah, we don't either. It's more fun bringing your own stuff anyway, haha

nikkiolie · « **Reply #36 on:** February 22, 2009, 12:24:17 pm »

yeah it is more fun

Kahlan4 · « **Reply #37 on:** February 22, 2009, 02:13:15 pm »

lol, it's fun trying to fit everything in my tiny bag without being noticable >.>

i can bring my deck of advent children playing cards and we can play crazy 8's or go fish, hehehe

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #38 on:** February 22, 2009, 03:40:37 pm »

Sounds pretty darn appealing, haha.

"Got any Cids?"
"Go drink."

nikkiolie · « **Reply #39 on:** February 22, 2009, 05:35:59 pm »

I have a huge purse so it's all good. I'll make sure to empty it out before hand XD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #40 on:** February 22, 2009, 10:05:06 pm »

Nice. We'll be uber-prepared. ^_^

And we picked up Watchmen the graphic novel today, so we should be nice and caught up to speed by the time the movie comes out.

Oh, and I just remembered I have Cthulhu Munchkin, too! So, I will bring that to play, also.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #41 on:** February 23, 2009, 08:25:36 am »

DX I need to read it. I have it on my computer so I will start that this week. It's not like I have much to do

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #42 on:** February 23, 2009, 01:44:03 pm »

haha, nice and convenient. Hopefully you like it. I know the main reason I had not read it even though I knew a lot about it was that I couldn't get past the art style. I knew Alan Moore's work and am a huge fan of his "Yuggoth Cultures", but the style in Watchmen is very different. I'm fine with it now, but it scared me off initially. Very classic comic style.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #43 on:** February 23, 2009, 01:56:37 pm »

Yeah. I will read some of it tonight. I read the first chapter but haven't gotten farther than that

Kahlan4 · « **Reply #44 on:** February 23, 2009, 04:28:10 pm »

just started reading it today. i had the same problem as rodney, the art style. but, since i know the movie will be awesome, i can look past it, which is normally really hard for me to do. i do like how rorschach is drawn, though ^.^ i have only gotten a few pages in, but it's really good so far. i love when rorchach is randomly eating a can of beans in daniel's kitchen XD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #45 on:** February 23, 2009, 04:41:01 pm »

haha, Rorschach, you nut!

Can't wait to start reading it.

My favorite part is when Rorshach is snapping people's fingers in the bar

For those of you that are reading this - DO NOT - under any circumstances skip the Excerpts from Behind the Cowl or Takes of The Black Frieghter! These are probably the most important bits in the book.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #48 on:** February 23, 2009, 05:58:49 pm »

Yeah that part was pretty funny....speaking of which I am going to read some more now

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #49 on:** February 23, 2009, 06:04:21 pm »

Thanks for the advice, Pepito. Whenever I get around to it I will be sure not to skip any of that.
