Konan-ChanX3 · « **on:** April 16, 2009, 07:25:07 pm »

To all lurkers! I know your out there! If you do plan on comming then please post I need a final head count by Saturday morning!

Mom gave me the great Idea to go to the zoo and have a cosplay picnic there.

[Other plan of action[only to take place if zoo is out of the question of getting into]]: Wuntvor gave me the briliant idea of the gardens. If we can't get into the zoo, then we will just take a short trip to the Gardens, the Rose garden is free, but if memory serves me right the Japanese Gardens cost money.

[Slams fist down on the desk hard] Oww~
Day: May 23rd
Time: 10am [late arrival is just fine with me. let me know if you'll be late or early]
Meet up place: MAX terminal: Gresham side of the Robertson tunnel at the zoo
Things to do: Play Hide 'n Seek, have lunch, run around, Photo shoots, uhhh scare the kiddies? Photoshoots in the gradens?

Food:
Sack Lunch!

This actually sounds like a great idea. I thought about that today on my way out of Portland. I'd love to join you!

tofutakeout · « **Reply #2 on:** April 16, 2009, 08:47:43 pm »

Can't do it. -is poor- and the money I make I need to save for con and cosplays so I wouldn't be able to pay for this. :<

I do need to go to the zoo at some point though.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #3 on:** April 16, 2009, 09:18:49 pm »

I would love to do this but the 2nd is moms weekend at OSU so she is coming here to chill with me

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #4 on:** April 17, 2009, 09:23:49 am »

I would love to join u but the first weekend in May is full of Square Dancing things.... Dance Friday, Mystery Trip Saturday and Graduation for the New class Sunday .... Sorry Konan-chan

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #5 on:** April 17, 2009, 09:31:28 am »

I would maybe like to go but I'd attend not in cosplay if that's ok.
Most of my costumes at this point are either too troublesome to be walking around at the zoo in or too skanky-ish and I'd feel bad having mothers point at me and covering their childrens eyes D:

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #6 on:** April 17, 2009, 03:11:27 pm »

No that's fine boogie if you don't cosplay ^^

@Tofu, Shini, and Nikki: 'S okay!

Sutie · « **Reply #7 on:** April 17, 2009, 05:39:48 pm »

Oh, actually May 2nd prob. wont work for me. I'll be getting home from Mississippi that week and will be extreamly low on moneys... sorry.

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #8 on:** April 17, 2009, 06:08:07 pm »

Ahh. We can change the date if that fine ^^ I'm open for sugestions

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #9 on:** April 21, 2009, 06:57:02 pm »

Dude!
I'll so go!
My friend is paying me for an advertisement thing.
Lawls.
and Konan-chan...
I AM THE ONE THAT NEXTED YOU THE OTHER DAY~

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #10 on:** April 21, 2009, 07:07:11 pm »

I'll write someone a story to cover for my entry fare? XD I'd love to go to this. I just don't happen to have the money to get in. I can get the money for the bus easy. It's money to get in that's a problem. Lulz XD

Damn... that must suck.

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 22, 2009, 02:17:26 pm »

... O RLY? lol

Yeah true I do see a money issue... How about we pool money together so that everyone can get in.

Any idea how much it costs to get in?

Again Open for sugestions for the date

nikkiolie · « **Reply #13 on:** April 22, 2009, 03:21:03 pm »

Maybe in June, May is very busy so far, and if you do it after June 13 maybe after the 20th most people will be out of school

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #14 on:** April 22, 2009, 03:23:02 pm »

That sound reasonable Nikki

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #15 on:** April 22, 2009, 03:27:12 pm »

Ah, if it's between June 20th-July 4thish I won't be able to attend. I'm going to Iowa to visit my Grandpa.
But don't let that stop you from changing the date of the zoo trip. I'm only like, 15 minutes away from the zoo so I can go any day.

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 22, 2009, 03:30:53 pm »

Yeah, I'm still trying to shoot for the 2nd or 3rd of may. Just trying to get things organized DX

nikkiolie · « **Reply #17 on:** April 22, 2009, 03:43:17 pm »

I think a lot of people have already said that they can't go if it is on the 2nd or 3rd of may >_>

I went through an reread the topic and four of the six people that responded cant go on the original date.

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 22, 2009, 04:39:27 pm »

Okey, I changed the date to the 23rd, Sound good?

Sounds good to me.

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #23 on:** April 22, 2009, 05:30:01 pm »

Sweet! 23rd it is!

Wuntvor · « **Reply #24 on:** April 22, 2009, 05:34:43 pm »

I won't be going, as I live in Eugene and a 4 hour round trip for just the zoo is sort of a pain. I do have a suggestion though. The Japanese Gardens are right next to the zoo train terminal and across the street from the Rose Garden. If you have the cash and can afford both the Japanese gardens and the zoo (Rose Garden is free) then you can get some AWESOME cosplay pics without even moving the car. Just a suggestion.

The 23rd of May? What is that--a Saturday? I should be able to go, if I can get the money. Since I can just easily ride the MAX down there and then walk to the gardens (if I go).

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #26 on:** April 22, 2009, 05:45:15 pm »

Yeah it's a saturday. If we can't get into the zoo, which I'm hoping we do, we can go to the gardens and hang out there

@ Wuntvor: Sad day Wuntvor ;A; sad day

nikkiolie · « **Reply #27 on:** April 22, 2009, 05:50:08 pm »

I wish I could go. I'll have to see when I am working. I'll let you know if I can make it a week before >_>

Wuntvor · « **Reply #28 on:** April 22, 2009, 05:51:44 pm »

Well I may go and take photos at Hendricks park and the Owen Memorial Rose Garden here in Eugene. Definitely the time of year for garden and flower photos.

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #29 on:** April 22, 2009, 05:52:36 pm »

Okey, should I put you on the maybe list then Nikki?

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #30 on:** April 22, 2009, 05:53:15 pm »

That's very true Wun.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #31 on:** April 22, 2009, 06:02:50 pm »

I guess you could put me down as a maybe, but seeing how I am only able to work one day a week they like to schedule me a full eight hours >_>

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #32 on:** April 22, 2009, 06:07:26 pm »

Okay, doesn't hurt though, better safe then sorry right?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #33 on:** April 22, 2009, 06:11:55 pm »

Yeah I guess you right ^_^

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #34 on:** April 22, 2009, 06:17:18 pm »

yup, you never know they may be kind to you and let you go early of call you in later ^^ you never know with these things

nikkiolie · « **Reply #35 on:** April 22, 2009, 06:24:37 pm »

Well the thing is that I want to work as much as possible because I need the money x.x

I don't plan on going again anytime soon! Sorry guys!

Hello! I'm new here, but I really want to meet other cosplayers in the Portland area, so count me in! I'm kind of shy, but I hope everyone is nice! >.<

Bringing Food: Yes, I can probably bring something, not sure what yet.
Pitching in Money: Yes, enough for admission at least.
Random Favorite Word: Cute!

I'd like to vote for the picnic to be held at the Portland rose gardens instead of the zoo or the Japanese Garden, because I think it's a more convenient place for us to go in costume, but any place is fine with me ^^ I'd also like to vote for the meeting place to be at a MAX station or something because I get lost really easily (>.<) but like I said earlier, any place is fine orz

As of right now, I can go as Northern Italy from the Hetalia Axis Powers series :)

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #39 on:** April 24, 2009, 09:59:37 pm »

So I suspect I may get my Beach White Mage done before this gathering so I might wear it to the zoo. It's just a Sundress and a hat with my wig so I really won't look skanky or anything hahaha. Wish me luck to getting that done~

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #40 on:** April 27, 2009, 03:42:38 pm »

Okay~ I'll put you up on the list. Aw snap. I need to know what everyone is Cosplaying as... That way I sorta know who's who at the zoo. Y'know put a face to a screen name

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #42 on:** April 27, 2009, 04:15:14 pm »

YAY! Auricle we will be awesome, really looking forward to it!

And maybe I could bring nametags and Sharpies so we can easily identify each other with our preferred nicknames?

Auricle · « **Reply #43 on:** April 27, 2009, 04:20:35 pm »

That is a really good idea Shijimi! : D It would be great to be able to match names to faces. XD If you have name tags and sharpies you should bring them~! :3

So, How about we meet up in the MAX terminal? Since that's how I'll be getting there. I'll be on the Gresham platform when I get off. I was there yesterday at the terminal I mean. It inspired my for a new manga >< I'll bring it if it's got at least 2-3 chapters [started today it has 3 pages]

Then again, we could just stick to the original plan and meet at the front gate.

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #45 on:** April 27, 2009, 04:22:34 pm »

Name tags sound good, we could wear them for an hour of at least untill we know everyone's names

Auricle · « **Reply #46 on:** April 27, 2009, 04:24:35 pm »

I think that meeting at the train station would be better, as it leaves less room for confusion or getting lost. :3

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #47 on:** April 27, 2009, 04:28:29 pm »

Okey, which side tho? Gresham or Hillsborito?

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #48 on:** April 27, 2009, 04:44:10 pm »

Gresham please, since I'm coming from that direction and yes, I will bring nametags and Sharpies!

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #49 on:** April 27, 2009, 04:59:26 pm »

Okey, Sounds good.

I'm comming from that way too
