I am in the mood to host another picnic. It has been a long time since I have done one. I think the best place to have it is at Cook Park in Tigard. There is lost of covered areas, great areas to take pictures and free parking. I understand that Tigard may not be the easiest to get to for some but the park is in a great place and I would strongly suggest giving it a try. It is in a very secluded area and there is lots of space to run around. So here are the basics.
When: April 9th at noon
Where: Cook Park Tigard 97224
It is a picnic so it would be great if people could bring food. Also it would be great if people could bring food that would be good for a meal rather than a bunch of sweets (for those of you that remember the first picnic we had like six cakes and several batches of cookies x.x).
If you are interested in coming please feel the forum out so I know what to expect :D
Cosplay:
Age:
Food you plan to bring:
-
YOU KNOW I AM SO IN.
And we'll play on the three-saw again.
Cosplay: Stocking if I have her finished, otherwise World is Mine Miku
Age: Legal
Food: Cookies or cupcakes or possibly soda
-
XD I just made it an event on Facebook too :P
-
Don't think I've been to a picnic of yours yet...
Cosplay: TBD
Age: 4 days from being 18
Food: chips, b-day cake?
Wondering if it'd be okay to have a mini b-day party for me, since it is that next Wednesday. Mainly I'd probably just bring a cake and tell my cosplay friends that I'm having my "party" there.
-
Yeah that would be perfectly fine with me. I don't have a problem celebrating your birthday :D
-
Woot. I was planning on having a meet that day anyways, and this way people don't have to choose.
Still not sure who I'll cosplay...
Possibly Agito...Or maybe even Kaname if my stuff for him comes by then.
-
Cosplay:maybe sakura if not I will figure it out
Age: almost kinda sorta legal
Food you plan to bring: cookies or chips.
So uhh hoe do we get to tigard if we dun have a car?
-
You can take the buss but it is a bit of a walk depending on what buss you take. The 76 drops you off on hall and that is about half a mile the 12 drops you off on 99 and that is about a mile.
-
Or you know friends who will give you a ride!
I live very close to the park so I'd be able to pick people up at the BTC.
My van will fit 5 more people legally (can put seats down and smuggle peoples >>).

Neko can I be your jew again :3
-
Hur I might try to make it out to this. Although April 10th (Sunday) is my birthday so I dunno if my family wants to get together Friday/Saturday/Sunday. :\
-
Looks like we have at least 20 people coming. I'm not too sure on the food so it might be a good idea to eat something small before coming just in case there isn't any real food and just snack food.
-
I can bring stuff with me just in case :3
-
I will defiantly bring a cake! Possibly two...
And I might make a slaw salad or something...
-
Cosplay: Shizuo Heiwajima (ain't bringin' the street sign though!)
Age: Legallllllll
Food you plan to bring: Dude, I dunno. I could pick up a watermelon or a party platter or something on my way.
I promise not to throw large objects or roar too loudly :3c
-
. . is cosplay required? I just re-read the first post and didn't notice anything (maybe I missed it). ^^
-
Not at all. I find that one of the most annoying things is to work really hard on a costume then get to a con and wear it for the first time and have it fall apart. This is a chance to test it out but by no means required. It is also a chance to hang out with friends and increase the hype or help subdue the excite of going or not going to a con (for those that can't go to Sakuracon)
-
I can bring juice and maybe some crackes or cookies :D
-
Sounds good.
-
I might go, but it all depends on what day the Sakura fest is at Uwajimaya because i was planning on going to that with a friend.
-
ooooh I forgot about that. It is sometimes both Saturday and Sunday and sometimes its just Saturday.
-
I know that, but my parents arn't exactly fond of driving me two places in two days >.>;
-
Cosplay: Me...as Mario
Age: old enough (23)
Food you plan to bring: yummy stuff, big bag of chips and a 2-liter.
-
A nikkiolie hosted picnic? Of course me and the kids will be there.
Cosplay:Not sure I will but my kids will cosplay.
Age: Way past legal.
Food you plan to bring: dont know yet but something yummy.

-

-
Thats pretty much right next door! I will most likely come to this! I loved it last time it was at Cook Park~
Cosplay: Kiki or Luki. If they aren't done then I'm not sure.
Age: 16
Food: TBA (possibly veggies?)
-
this picnic is going to be the best!!!!
-
Ok so it turns out that i CAN go :'D The Sakura fest isn't untill the 16th, which by the way, we should meet up there too >3>
-
I don't know if I will be able to or not. I want to and I will be living closer but I move into my new apartment the 15 so I am sure I will still be moving at the that time. I will try to go though :P (to the Sakura festival)
-
So I might not be able to go to this anymore...My family might be celebrating my Granma's b-day that day, and that's more important.
-
What is the current head count so far and is there room to make a list of who's coming?
-
Is this still going on? Just to make sure ^^;
Oh, and i forgot to post this.
Cosplay: I'm not sure yet. Probably Russia, Tamaki, or one of my OC's if i can get him somewhat done.
Age: 15
Food you plan to bring: Yan yans. Also maybe some chocolate flavored blood if i go as my OC.
-
Going to try my best to come to this.
Cosplay: Chie Satonaka
Age: 15. . . . (Why?)
Food you plan to bring: STEAK [/shot'd] No, I'll probably bring brownies. You said no sweets, but brownies have health benefits. It's a fact.
-
i dunno if we could get a bus group to go that would be nice so i don't get lost :3
-
Kay! I'm able to go!!!
So those I was going to give a ride, I can again!!!
But please remind me who you are, thanks~
And Taikei and I will be going as the Hitachiin twins~
-

Where are you able to give people rides from?
-
Um time....I guess around noon?
When are we planning on meeting at the park? And also, where are we meeting in the park?
And I'm picking people up at Beaverton Transit Center.
-
Okay, I think I remember possibly asking for a ride from there, on your facebook post. @u@
I still need to verify with my parents that I can come, and figure out how long it will take me to get to the TC from the Lloyd center.
-
Okay, yeah I think so....
And from Lloyd? It takes about 45 to an hour.
-
noon i got this >3
-
Okay, and those I'm giving rides to I'd like your phone numbers so I can call you if you're not there. So please send them to me, and I'll give you mine as well.
-
I don't have a cell phone so I really can't get phone calls but usually I am on time so no worries.
-
Okay.
And an extra note to that, be on the Hillsboro side, since that's where the parking is.
-
I knows :D
-
Wah ><; I can't decide! Who should i go as?
-
Someone that you're not worried if the cosplay gets dirty. B/c we will be at a park after it's been raining all week. Remember that guys!!!
-
I am not sure i will be in cosplay <.< Because all my cosplay are white hehehe
-
Yeaaah maybe i'll just be myself this time...
-
Ahh cosplays being white <.< i would do casual something but the wigs are not in yet ;3
-
Even if my cosplays were darker colors, i still wouldn't want to wear them in wet and/or muddy weather. I'd be too worried about them getting ruined ><;
-
that is true
-
COSPLAY CHANGE!!
Since my GF Pai is coming along, we are going as Human Inuyasha and Kagome.
I'll be wearing either green shoes, or if it's as muddy as you say it is, brown hiking boots.
-
This is just kind of out of no where, but are we going anywhere after the picnic?
-
Nope. Just the park
-
Alright cool ^^ Though i may need to leave at some point to get some real food to eat.
-
Cosplay:peter white
Age: 19
Food you plan to bring: will see what i can

I think i'm just going to wear my Kigurumi to this...I can allways bring extra clothes if at any point i get afraid of it getting ruined. I heard it's sopposed to be nice out, so hopefully the weather person is right.
-

I'm probably going to get there a little late (11:30am or noon).

-
oops! I totally forgot about food! I'll see if I can grab a few juice pouces, do you know how many people are coming?
-
Pai texted me saying she couldn't sleep last night, but I'm still making an attempt.
-
I'm not sure on how many people exactly. More than 20 it looks like. I am getting make-up on so I will be down at the playground in just a bit, probably 15-20 minutes or so
-
Ok, I'll bring as many as I can then.
-
Haley my dad gave me money so when we stop at 7-11 we can get some bags of chips or something.
-
Quickly getting ready, then leaving soon ^^
And apparently I'm not picking any one up anymore......
-
We will be there late. Around 1
-
Bad news...I'll be late also, cause I'm getting food and stuff.
Great news...THIS TIME I'M NOT ON CRUTCHES!!!
Last time I went to this kind of picnic I was recovering from a scooter crash with the sidewalk and my knee, nuff said.
Also I have an empty bottle for a glomp circle, tunes for atmosphere, and a couple easy setup anime RPGs to roll to.
-
Just got home, man that was so much fun! I'm so tired though~
-
SUSHI WAS THABESSSSST ALSO BRO-ING AROUND WITH YOU GUYS WAS SO MUCH FUNNNNN :DDDDDDD
-
I WISH I COULDA GONE TO SUSHI WITH YOU GUYS! next time.
-
I hope the next one is alittle easer to get to ;-;
-
I hope the next one is alittle easer to get to ;-;
From what it sounded like to get there I hope so too.
Saki had a sudden urge to quest for epic donuts so we blazed on up to P-town and assaulted Voodoo Too.
Donuts were had, pics were taken, and a phone call to pick her up at Lloyd Center was made.
From my perspective, the food was yum, and the wave see-saw caterpillar rodeo thingy was an entertaining highlight of the picnic.
-
I'm not going to Voodoo doughnuts anymore and i'm not going to be hanging around in Portland for a long time.....Long story i don't feel like posting here....Anyway, i can't wait to see the pictures.
-
The place was pretty, though it would have been nice if the sun stayed longer XP
I felt a little out of the group though. There were a lot of cliques....But other than that it was fun ^^
Excited to see the pictures~
But i agree that it would be nice if we went to a park that was closer/easier to get to.
-
Yeah i also felt a bit out of place there considering i hardly knew anyone...And i agree with the closer park idea.
-

^ Something I was too modest to bring up myself.
And I'm glad I went to this instead of just another Amtgard day, otherwise I wouldn't have had the chance to be someone Saki knew, my food wouldn't have been shared and i wouldn't have experienced the thrill of Voodoo donuts!
But yes, good park. A little far but worth an encore after other parks had been tried out.
-
I love Cook Park, it's pretty much the only meetup place I've been to that took less than 20 minutes to get to for me.
-
^Ditto
-
wish i coulda went :(
-
I wish I brought a little more to do. I totally spaced about bringing a frisbee. Someone brought a football, but then we all cringed when we thought about mangled cosplays among muddy divots of grass with a ball chuckling at our agony.
-
Cook Park is nice, as long as you have a car for those of us who live farther away >>
I really loved the forest area! My group and I are going there for our Naruto and Wonderland shoots defiantly!!!
And that wave thing was crazy @.@
