On Saturday the 16th I would like to hold a Cosplay Picnic/Photoshoot/Party at McCoy Park in Northern Portland. McCoy park is located on Fesseden, and is easy to access by the Number 4 Bus. We would meet up at Noon, and hang out till about seven or eight. This would not be a Cosplay needed event, but it is encouraged. Just to freak out the normies!

We would need people willing to bring food, since it is a potluck event. There is even grill set ups, if people wanted to bring supplies for grilling and stuff. I just think we could have a lot of fun with this even, and since it's so far in advanced and on a Saturday it should be easy for people to come and hang out at it.

The park has so many set ups to it that would provide an interesting backdrop for photos. Cosplays are encouraged, as it looks amazingly fun. There is a Water fountain that you can play in, so make sure if you wanna get wet your cosplay can get wet. Also remember to bring sunscreen, as it can get really really hot out there. We don't need people passing out. There is a cornerstore nearby that sells supplies for grilling as well as lots of food. We may want to find someone that has a giant cooler, so we can keep water on a constant supply.

So who all wants to come?

Those attending:
(Name) - (Cosplay if you are doing one) - (Item you are bringing with you)
IrukaSensei - Yuugao Uzuki - Some bags of chips if I can get the money

Well first of all May 17th is a Sunday and there is already an event going on that day so I am not too sure how many people will go to this. Maybe if you moved it to the 16th?

I'd love to go but my birthday party is on the 16th Sad day ;A;

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #8 on:** April 22, 2009, 03:46:04 pm »

Bring ya party to the Park

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #9 on:** April 22, 2009, 03:49:49 pm »

It's all the way out in manning tho, and I'm not so sure how mom would react to me moving the party and Steph either since she's being so nice and letting me use her place for the party ;A; Sad day

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #10 on:** April 22, 2009, 05:14:55 pm »

Alrighty, It's fine ^_^

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 22, 2009, 05:25:24 pm »

Sorry ;A; if it was on another day I'd go in a heart beat

Rai180990648 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 22, 2009, 06:18:35 pm »

My sis and I might be able to go. I'll talk to my mom and dad about it.

Unfortunately, none of us can sew, and money is a little tight(Since we have to buy our costumes), so we won't be in cosplay.

I'll bring my Mokona plushie though if mom and dad say it's ok to go. He's not too big, and not too small, so he's easy to carry around. :3

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #13 on:** April 22, 2009, 08:06:18 pm »

Edited.

Rai : 971-212-6107

That's my cellphone number. For your parents to speak to me if they feel the need to. As for cosplays, the cheapest/easiest combination I know of is a Black suit with a black tie. :3 Turks from Final Fantasy VII. It's pretty cheap, specially if you go to GoodWill.

Thanks for the number! Mom and Dad will probably go with us the the Picnic/Photoshoot/Meetup. They want to watch over us whenever we try to go to a cosplay meet (Meaning we've never been to one before because of real life getting in the way of fun *sob*).

As for cosplay, uh...yeah...I'm a girl, so I don't think that I'll do any of the Turks justice with 'these' *Points to Mikuru Asahina worthy chest* in the way.

I might go to Hot Topic and throw together a Misa Amane cosplay or something if I we can't find anything at GoodWill. (Seriously, I've been in there a few times and it's like Hot Topic raided Misa's closet or something)

Not a problem if your parents come along. ^_^ I'm trying to get together as many things for a barbecue/picnic as possible. So if your parents wanna bring some food along that would be great. I'm going to try and get some hamburgers, as well as some chips. >.<

As for cosplays, that's what OC Turks are for XP

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #22 on:** May 07, 2009, 01:50:31 am »

Anyone else interested in coming? I need to know how many people may show up cause I need to know how many hamburgers we will need >.<

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #23 on:** May 07, 2009, 02:35:41 am »

I'll come along, it's right up near where I go for meetings anyway. And I'll be bringing Along a 2 liter or pocky, and possibly a Dragon Ball as a basketball if the weather is good and there's a court with space.

Correction, I would be able to go if I didn't need to be in Eugene the entire weekend.

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #24 on:** May 09, 2009, 12:07:37 am »

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #29 on:** May 12, 2009, 03:55:37 pm »

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #30 on:** May 13, 2009, 04:39:58 pm »

If you need my number, give me a PM.

veraca · « **Reply #31 on:** May 13, 2009, 11:00:19 pm »

Oooh ooh I'm so sad I didn't see this earlier!

Can I come? I wanna coooome! *begs* Lemme coooome~

If I have money for gas then I'll try to come down there ^.^
Not sure what costume I'd wear.. but I'll let you know Friday night if I can go or not.

>3 Maybe I can pester Sami...

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #32 on:** May 13, 2009, 11:09:02 pm »

XD Sami as in Samileeroth? *head tilt and grins*

You may come! But I do have to say that my mom didn't get the hotdogs or hamburgers, so I won't be capable of putting any food forth. But I have the place, and I have the supplies needed if someone wants to bring something to grill!

veraca · « **Reply #33 on:** May 14, 2009, 12:09:12 am »

I'm gonna attempt to come and with marshmellows like you ask ^^

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #34 on:** May 14, 2009, 12:25:27 am »

Sweetness, roasting marshmallows and cosplayers... oh gods... what if one catches on fire O.O

veraca · « **Reply #35 on:** May 14, 2009, 12:30:02 am »

Throw them at the fountain and hold them there until they're soaked? ^^;

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #36 on:** May 14, 2009, 01:09:16 am »

But the fountain is like... a gajillion feet away from the roasting areas! XD

veraca · « **Reply #37 on:** May 14, 2009, 01:31:12 am »

That's why you throw them... Very far.

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #38 on:** May 14, 2009, 03:28:09 am »

Good point... or give them to Al XD And hope that his metal interior will smother them?

veraca · « **Reply #39 on:** May 14, 2009, 04:35:04 pm »

That'd be cool~

Can't go. Dang teacher gave us a surprise essay to read/write by Tuesday and I gotta get it done fast. Grrrrr~

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #40 on:** May 14, 2009, 07:39:18 pm »

Essay? Surely I could help? XD

veraca · « **Reply #41 on:** May 14, 2009, 08:36:25 pm »

XD It's also cause I can't really afford the gas. I shouldn't be doing anything really until after I buy the wood for my props T-T *sigh*

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #42 on:** May 14, 2009, 09:08:32 pm »

You know you could always scour the Craigslist free section for lumbar right?XD

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #43 on:** May 15, 2009, 05:42:13 pm »

If I come I'd have to leave early, I have to be at Uwajimaya's by like 3:40

I decided that i'd ditch my party to come to this. I canceled in since no one could come.

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #44 on:** May 15, 2009, 05:50:13 pm »

There is a busline right next to the park! Just get the 4 to St.Johns and it'll drop you off near Mccoy

We'll be meeting under the Verranda :3

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #45 on:** May 15, 2009, 05:59:16 pm »

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #47 on:** May 15, 2009, 08:44:21 pm »

I'll see what I can do. As it is I'll only be there for a little while.
