Title: CON 3 WEEK EARLY!
Post by: nikkiolie on June 16, 2011, 12:01:30 pm
Its that time again. Time for that annual event I have done for the past three years. Its time to explore the area around the hotel so we have some ideas where to go for food, photo shoots, personal space and all that fun stuff. Most of all it is time to hang out and get that urge to cosplay out to help us hold out for the last three weeks before con.

So here are the details.
When: Saturday August 13th at noon.
Where: The park across from the Hilton (anyone have a name for it?)

Since the park is so big I imagine we will do a picnic type thing this year so it would be nice if everyone could bring some food.

Here is the forum~ <3

Who are you cosplaying:
What food will you bring:

That's Esther Short Park btw.

Sadly, I'm gonna be leaving for camp that day, so I probably wont be there.

This is a very clever idea. :3 Unfortunately, it's very far from where I live; so the odds of me going are not so great.

I'm up for it as long as I'm not working. I can also give rides from Beaverton if transport is an issue for anyone.

If you're willing to have it start earlier or on Sunday, I can join up with y'all and start you off well.  I know the area pretty well, and could recommend some great places.

I wonder if I can just sleep under the I-5 bridge or something that night.  Don't really want to bike up to Vancouver for this, bike home, bike back the next day for the Kumoricon meeting, and bike home again.  Definitely gonna make it to this, but probably not in cosplay as I'll be biking and it will be hot.  Gonna try to bring some foodstuffs too.  Probably just gonna bake a few loaves of bread the day before or something.

Post by: DancingTofu on August 06, 2011, 02:38:04 pm
I most certainly am...I'm not that desperate.  I'll probably just see if I can crash at a friend's place on Jantzen Beach or something.

I am very excited for this. I want to wear my costumes again and this will be the perfect opertunity. I plan on wearing Rikku but the claw will not quite be finished (I will still wear it, it just needs pain and then varnish over the top).

I had to get blood drawn at 2:00pm.  Then I ate food (I had been fasting for the blood stuff).  Went to check out peeps at the park, but ya'll was gone!  Then, I had to get a new pair of shoes.  And I had a meeting with some friends at 6PM.

I WAS BOOKED SOLID. :<

Link works fine, just gotta add her on facebook like she said :P

It's nice seeing people and taking a look at the area...it was like crazy weird deja vu!  I never realized how big that park was.  Probably gonna spend a lot of time just chillin' there during the con.

Repppppyyyyyyyyy I'm sad that I missed you! ;_;  We gotta have a sexy ladymen photoshoot together at Kumoricon :DDD
