I'm doing pretty good. I am just excited.

leonmasteries · « **Reply #856 on:** July 30, 2009, 11:17:56 pm »

last time I went, I was a home made pirate who handed out tootsie roll's to people. This year, Im hopefully going to be Gintoki, if I don't get his clothing, than I will be my bounty hunter I created as well.

oslapedo · « **Reply #857 on:** July 30, 2009, 11:20:15 pm »

tofu, I will take you out. Get it?

Last year in the line these totally awesome people gave me and my friends a huge plastic thing of cookies and a bunch of mountain dews. I will never forget that beautiful act of kindness!

leonmasteries · « **Reply #858 on:** July 30, 2009, 11:22:32 pm »

nice, very nice... My friend is able to go each year. Last year, he went as Ulquiorra, and the year before, he went as Envy. But in 07, I had to attend my best friend's wedding, and last year, I didn't have any money sadly.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #859 on:** July 30, 2009, 11:22:36 pm »

I like walking the lines and looking at all the people :3

oslapedo · « **Reply #860 on:** July 30, 2009, 11:24:38 pm »

Me too! The lines are so fun. If there was a LineCon I would totally go.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #861 on:** July 30, 2009, 11:24:58 pm »

Does anyone know where to sign up to be in shinra.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #862 on:** July 30, 2009, 11:29:14 pm »

Ah cool cool. Home made costumes are always awesome. =D

@Sahara
Very sneaky. -shakes finger-

The pre reg line on the first day is such a big part of con. you get the few first photos taken, jitters are running crazy, looking at all the costumes, and handing out free things if you have them. good bit of advice people;gloves are the evil doers of pocky.

oslapedo · « **Reply #863 on:** July 30, 2009, 11:35:27 pm »

TEEHEE~

I want to hand out goodies to hungry con goers! Like maybe bananas or something, yum~

leonmasteries · « **Reply #864 on:** July 30, 2009, 11:38:33 pm »

oh ya, it was so interesting when I handed out tootsie roll's, they nearly jumped me so that they could get some more tootsie roll's. So it's a smart thing to do. But what Im wondering is where the fast food places are around there?

tofutakeout · « **Reply #865 on:** July 30, 2009, 11:44:06 pm »

Well we're not as close to the mall anymore. Tom will probably post a map as the con draws near.

I should try bringing something as well. Just to make matters more fun. ^_^

leonmasteries · « **Reply #866 on:** July 30, 2009, 11:46:32 pm »

hmmmm, that could be nice. Now I'm contemplating on bringing something as well. But all I need to know is if there's a fast food restaurant within walking distance, and one that wont take a good 10 to 15 minutes to get to.

MamaKat · « **Reply #867 on:** July 30, 2009, 11:56:39 pm »

We are with in walking distance of Pioneer Square, and there are may fast food restaurants near us.

No worries!

leonmasteries · « **Reply #868 on:** July 30, 2009, 11:58:18 pm »

that's good

, as long as I can reach a fast food joint, I won't starve that weekend. So everything's good then, there's fast food, and as it seems, more people might be bringing food for the hungry con goer as well.

Thanks Eve! Anyone know how far away Petit Provence is from the Hilton? I ate there once and it was delicious, I'd love to have breakfast there on one of the days, or at least get some yummy pastries~

soundninja12 · « **Reply #871 on:** July 31, 2009, 07:15:48 am »

Lots of food.
I must go to Katie's cafe, for the sake that it is Katie's cafe.
That would make me happy.

Where the heck's my starbucks?! D:< I'mma pitch a fit. XD

leonmasteries · « **Reply #873 on:** July 31, 2009, 08:47:37 am »

the star buck's is in pioneers square. But it's good that there are at least 3 fast food restauraunts, but now, I must figure out where the hell the carl's jr is.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #874 on:** July 31, 2009, 09:21:32 am »

The Carl's Jr is on the same block as the Hilton, at the corner of Taylor & 5th.

And looks like there are two Petit Provence locations in Portland, but neither of them are near the hotel. One is in SE Portland and the other is in NE Portland. But, for what it's worth, here are the addresses:
- Petite Provence of Division (4834 SE Division)
- Petite Provence Alberta (1824 NE Alberta)

leonmasteries · « **Reply #875 on:** July 31, 2009, 09:22:51 am »

nice, im sorry, but to me, carl's jr is the best fast food establishment in existence, and am going to indulge for 3-4 days straight on it.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #876 on:** July 31, 2009, 09:23:35 am »

That is a nice list eve x.x

I have to agree with you, Leon. I have been trying to eat more vegetarian lately for health reasons, but back in the day, I used to gorge on Carl's Jr, lol. It definitely is my favorite burger place.

leonmasteries · « **Reply #880 on:** July 31, 2009, 09:49:35 am »

yay, and the fact i came from california doesn't help, especially seeing as how that's one of the biggest places that has it. I was sad when I moved up here because there was no carl's jr. but then freaked out when I actually saw one, and then more.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #881 on:** July 31, 2009, 09:50:38 am »

Ah, yeah, there are a ton I've seen up here, thankfully, heh.

princessmoon · « **Reply #882 on:** July 31, 2009, 10:17:18 am »

Ahahaha.. Cosplay + Restaurant/Eatery = Let the FUN begin! LOL.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #883 on:** July 31, 2009, 10:20:22 am »

It would be more fun to go to a restaurant rather than fast food XD

leonmasteries · « **Reply #884 on:** July 31, 2009, 10:24:24 am »

HURRAY

Let all the people who don't know the awesomeness that is cosplay be destroyed bye our swords and knifes (figuratively) let the cosplay god's enrich the Nay Sayers and none believers with the fire of 1000 fan girls and let the feast of 1000 hungry warriors comense over the coarse of the weekend, for we shalt go forth and spew the blood of our enemy's and sit on their corpses and laugh. For we are cosplayer's, and we shall rule the holy city of Portland for a fort night.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #885 on:** July 31, 2009, 10:24:34 am »

I just love the fact that there is a restaurant called Geraldi's Italian Eating Place, lol. Nothing like a name that says exactly what it is,

leonmasteries · « **Reply #886 on:** July 31, 2009, 10:25:16 am »

yes, and I might go to a restaraunt with others for fun, but my main thing of food is carl's jr.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #887 on:** July 31, 2009, 10:26:00 am »

I might drag some friends with me to one

leonmasteries · « **Reply #888 on:** July 31, 2009, 10:29:53 am »

I need to make friends that have money, because all my friends who are going don't have enough for a restaurant, hopefully I can find people to go with as well.

it's still good to go to a restaurant. but ya, the name does sound interesting.

That is a good picture but I just want to twik it a little. If the Sora was in a fighting position and reaching out it would have been much better XD

I have to agree with you on that, because I don't really see sora just standing there when kairi's seems like she's in danger.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #896 on:** August 01, 2009, 08:19:53 am »

I also want to go on the other side of them so the park is in the background XD

God I am so looking forward to this con X3

Though, I like how the darkness that you see everyone getting sucked into in the games all the time is Axel's Org XIII coat. That is just so symbological it's awesome.

Or maybe all those years of Literature classes are making me read too much into the picture, haha.

Man of the Public · « **Reply #899 on:** August 01, 2009, 03:02:53 pm »

If we're reminiscing about last year's cosplayers, Here's one of my favorites:

He even sang in the Walugi voice. It was great.
