So i think we should have our first meetup next month. November seems like a good time amirite?
So does anyone know of any good places we can meetup without getting rained on?
I know a really spiffy parking garage that would be a good place for a photoshoot, but that might be a bit wierd.
Post your opinions ftw.
EDIT:
Meetup information:
Saturday, Novermber 14, 2009
1:00 PM
Meet at Pioneer Courthouse Square
Between 1:30-1:45
Move meetup to Clackamas Town Center(?)
Bring food, or money for food, as we may be out there for a while.
Bring a DS if you have one, and if your costume is done, come in cosplay!
Lets make this a fun day everyone!
-
Hmmm sounds fun but i have no idea what my schedule will be like by then
but parking garage sounds sweet

thats what i thought.
EDIT: what does everyone think about lloyd center, or pioneer place?
-
no lloyd i dont like it that much and pioneer is ok i guess
-
no lloyd i dont like it that much and pioneer is ok i guess
Well here is the deal.
after having conflict with security guards at both malls in the past, i would much prefer lloyd center in terms of strictness, and meetup-ability.
even if we just meet up there, and then go somewhere else.
but pioneer place could work too, i would just have to talk to mall security beforehand.
-
ya true lol
but really dont matter to me
-
My gardevior won't be done by then :/ BUT OH WELL :P
-
I want to go.... But I haven't even started on my Vespiquen cosplay XD
-
I can try to make it...Ash is basically done.
-
Its not too big of a deal if your cosplays aren't done yet, you will at least get to tell people about them.
the idea is to meet up, and hang out.
Taking pictures is a pretty big part too, i guess.
-
I would go even though Ash isn't done...He hasn't been done for about a year now xD but I'm not sure if I can. It really depends on where and when...

im thinking it will probably be the second saturday in november, and we will most likely be meeting at lloyd center, or pioneer place.
i need more opinions though.
-
I think 2nd weekend would work for me, and my mom likes pioneer better when I dont walk around without her.
-
Hey I'm down for a meet up, just give me a lot of notice and clear directions considering I live like 15 mins away from Canada ) :
-
This would be fun to go to but.........
VICTREEBEL IN THIS WEATHER IS NOT FUN. Booooo.
And that's gonna be right after Akicon D: SAD. Brock come hang with me and Kyle after this shindig.

so does this mean you are, or aren't going, because we will most likely be inside most of the time.
if we meetup at lloyd center, we will be inside most of the time.
if we meetup at pioneer place, we will be inside until we get kicked out for loitering.
-
I think it would be offensive for me to be somewhere like that in my costumes so it's a definite no from me if we are going to be inside. I'd just help get you guys kicked out faster :P

alright. well if we come up with a better place to do it, than i will let you know.

Yeah, I don't have ANYTHING XD So are you sure it would be cool if I just showed up with normal clothes and my DS?
-
There's a good chance I will have nothing done at that point, but the Lloyd Center is cool with me.
Maybe we shouldn't worry about costumes this time, since it will probably be too rainy for a good photoshoot and few people have anything. We could bring them though, to show off, or get tips and comments on or whatever. I just think that would work better this time, so early in the year. (New year meaning after K-con, since that's obviously all that matters.xD)

i don't see any problem with it.
in fact, i think its better that you show up without a costume, rather than to not show up at all.
-
First post updated with date, time, etc.
So is anybody other than me going to show up in there unfinished cosplay?
-
Don't really have much to cosplay as (do i ever?), but I love pokemon and cosplay. I would like to go... >_>

well, you are more than welcome to come.
if you would like to be a part of the group however, i suggest reading this thread (http://www.kumoricon.org/forums/index.php?topic=11416.0)
if you do not want to be a part of the group, you are still more than welcome to come hang out with us and all of our tom foolery during the meetup.

I wouldn't mind.. My brother is a maybe as well, and I only have one cosplay planned at the moment. Not sure what I would be yet though. >o< It'd take me a while to put together whatever it is that I decide to be since I am flat broke. TT^TT
-

that shouldn't be a problem at all.
even if you don't finish your cosplay, we aren't going to say "you aren't allowed here, unless you cosplay!"
thats stupid.
People are always welcome to just come hang out, outside of cosplay.
hell, i could let you borrow one of my pokeballs, and you could just be a pokemon trainer xD

Yes, but pokemon gijinka cosplay is fun! Cosplay is fun in general...
And I have tons of pokeballs and figurines.. and even an original pokedex.. >X< poketto monsuta ga daisuki desu!

i totally do too.
my friends who aren't into pokemon, or are just nice, often give me there old pokemon toys and such because im somewhat of a fanatic.
its pretty cool.

This is somewhat true, but i've seen some pretty... NOT dressed people in that mall :D

Orly?
Do explain.
If you cannot be in cosplay for this meetup, do not fret.
It will still be fun, even if not quite as much.
-
I can do it. I just...don't want to get ignored this time. I'm going as a real character (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hayley) too, and she's not even that obscure.

honestly, i had never heard of said character until mentioned by you.
meh.
-
Well, I feel like the reason I got ignored at the picnic was because no one had heard of her, like that somehow made *me* inferior or something. Bear in mind there was someone there who had no idea who Cyrus is, despite him being a primary villian.

wait... there was a cyrus cosplayer?
thats pretty epic
-
*Warning* Lloyd Center does not allow cosplayers.... they have been have a lot of trouble (stabbings and shottings) and if you meet up in a big group you will need a permit/ permission... Also if you come in even a small group no mask, weapons, a ton of make-up. It is a lot of hassle! I suggest Clackmas they are super nice about things just call a head and warn them... Thank you!

thank you.
i will consider it.
i guess this means lloyd center is out.
anyone have any better ideas?
-
Welcome!
Clackmas.... Call a head and you are good... even better if you can go in a talk face to face.... and you have the Green Line Max now to it too
-

its still somewhat of a hassle to get there.
its not just up to me though, so if anyone else fancies this idea, go ahead and vote.

Fine with anything. :X

do you know of any other places?

Pfft, I wish. We were talking about the bad guys and...yeah.
Clackamas? Is there anywhere to take pictures out there?
-

i don't know.
its pretty doubtful that we will be going there though. like i said its a hassle.
unless everyone wanted to meetup beforehand, and then go there. it might be fun to ride the max with a bunch of folks in cosplay xD
-
You could actually meet up at the park right outside of Lloyd Center and then take pics there or something and head over to Clackamas mall.
And I think I might try and go to this! I could come as a photographer!

this could work, but i don't want the weather to ruin costumes.
if it is nice out,we will do this.

Once i was there and a bunch of girls got kicked out by security for exposing themselves :D

Oh you should go Nikki! Just wear normal clothes! I'll totally go if you do. Just throw on your headleaf, and I'll put on my wings. It'll be ~*CASUAL COSPLAY*~

Pffft, casual cosplay 8D I dunno yet, I might go see if I could quickly do another gijinka that has red hair or something :B
-
If I'm still free around that time, I may tag along. Not sure if I'll be in cosplay or not.
I may just wear a LOT of blue, and put my Gloom headpiece on.

DO IT. Just throw some red stuff on and be like flareon or something. I'm going to be wearing jeans and a black shirt probably. WOO LAZY.
-
This would be fun to go to but.........
VICTREEBEL IN THIS WEATHER IS NOT FUN. Booooo.
And that's gonna be right after Akicon D: SAD. Brock come hang with me and Kyle after this shindig.
Hell Yeah, let's make it happen
-
I will try to get my sutff together. I may just get the basic outfit, purple shirt and jeans, and not use a wig, since my hair is also brown, but not nearly as awesome as his.xD
-
I may start working on Gardevoir today, but I don't have the right green, or any money... sooo... ;;>_>
-
Started my Snorlax today, I'll try to make it to this ^^
-
I might just wear my Envy wig and be a random grass pokemon (doesn't know yet......)
And to answer what xcthulhux said earlier, if it's raining or something, we could meet in the Lloyd center parking lot that's covered and right across from the park, and then head to Clackamas...
Though, because we'll have to take the Green line to get to Clackamas, it might be smarter to meet at Pioneer Courthouse Square, since there's a stop right there...

this will be the case.
we are going to meet up at the square, and figure it out from there.
if it is raining, we can go to the covered area by the blue line.
We can then proceed to take the max green line to clackamas.
Does anybody object to this plan?
-
I just want to know what the plan is. I still don't see what we're going to *do* in Clackamas other than go to the mall.
-
Well currently our leader is unable to get one for some unknown reasons so we will be up and down on this subject for... idk how long really.
-
I'll just show up XD
I don't know my way around the area, so just tell me what to do and I'll do it XD
-
We could always bring some games...Like DS's and cards and other games...? i have some really good large group games.
-
Alright, so we're going to the Pioneer Courthouse Square, then going to Clackamas?
How long would we be at the first place? If we're going straight there I might just meet you guys at Clackamas, depending on what my parents say.>> (I'm not familiar with that area, so I have zero idea how far anything is from anything else.)
-
Is Clackamas within fareless square?
-
xcthulhux wanted me to tell you gys that he's been banned for the week and thinks that pokemon twister is an excellent idea.
That is all
-
Is Clackamas within fareless square?
'
Idk lol i dont live up there that is why i am relaing on you guys up there to know where everything is
-
Yeah! You guys should know where everything is!
lol jk
Anyway, why was xcthulux b&?
Back on topic, yay! Poke'manz!
-
Clackamas is fare away from that part of portland I think...
And he got banned for uber spamming a spam thread.
-
JT is that you???
We have missed you so
-
That would be his girlfriend, Griff, and I'm sorry about that.
I take responsibility for him being banned..
-
I'm in as meowth
....
I WILL STEAL YOU ALL IN THE NAME OF TEAM ROCKET...that way I can be loved by my boss again
lol
-

well its not big deal! only a few days :P
-
I'll definitely be there, but I doubt I'll have any part of my Rayquaza done yet >.< It's gonna take a while...
Yay for being casual?
-
My wig will take a while, but other than that, I think Nurse Joy is a pretty easy cosplay!
-
I don't think i'm coming simply because i'm WAY to busy to start working on Gardevoir yet ><
-
Here's the MAX map: http://trimet.org/maps/railsystem.htm
It's in Zone 3, which means, not within fairless square...So, depending where you are coming from, might be better to meet us at the mall instead of meeting at PCS first.
-
Someone's going to need to give me an address, I have no idea what you're talking about.
I'm going to try to go to Goodwill to get some stuff this weekend. (Hurray for being cheap!)
-

GUISE.
im back ftw.
So from what i have collected, we are meeting up at pioneer square, and then going via max to clackamas.
everyone will need max fare for this, so get some ftw.
who is going to be in cosplay?
in fact, who is going at all?
-
I'll be going, but I have no idea what or where those places are. I'll definitely be needing some addresses and whatnot. I can try to go in cosplay, since I'll probably have some stuff by then. Probably no wig, but the clothes I can get. I was going to this weekend, but too much homework.>>
How much is the fare?

totally guesstimating here
i think its like 1.50 for youth, 3.00 for adults, or something along those lines.
if you want to know how to get there, use google maps.
its a pretty amazing resource.
http://google.com/maps
-
It's 1.50 for youth and 2.30 for adults for all zones, which you'll need for this.
And I'm still planning on going, don't know if I'll throw a cosplay together or maybe wear one of my other cosplays and be a "trainer"...

i was close.
im so psyched for this xD
-
Agreed!
Do we have any plans? Or are we just gonna wonder the mall and attempt to find something to do?

and then go home.
LAWL JK
-
You're no help -___-
I suggested that we could play some games of one kind or another...We should play hide and go seek! Like the people as pokemon go hide and the trainers are the seekers!

win.
i totally agree.
does anybody have twister?
pokemon twister would be amazing.
-
I'm planning on going, but I have nothing cosplay wise.
I'll be bringing my DS and I challenge anyone who wants to battle.

i'm game.
i will bring my plat and my supercard
-
I'd play but...I never have time to train my pokemanz T_T
-
And I don't have any of the games ^^; I'm lame like that!
-
well, i am hoping SOMEONE else will have there ds, i want to see some epic battles happen.
-
xcthulhux:
I hate to break it to you, but 'pioneer square' and 'clackamas' do not count as addresses acceptable by google maps, and that is all I know about either location, as I've said many times.
I don't mean to be snappish, it's just that I have been ignored every time I've asked for a proper address or location, unless I missed a post, in which case I apologize.
I can bring my DS. I don't remember what state my team is in, considering it's been ages since I've played.

im sorry
On google maps try "pioneer courthouse square" and "clackamas town center". add oregon to both of them.
-
well i am more of a collector for the game but i can battle if need be (I will suck horably though)
-
Meh. Collecting is cool, but battlin is where its at
-
xcthulhux:
It's fine, and thanks.
Hey, I think meeting you guys at Clackamas would be easier for me, if you're just going straight there from Pioneer Square. Would that work?
-

if that what you would like to do, but if the weather isn't too bad, we might spend a little time at the square.
that was why i wanted everyone to meet there.
-
meh i still like just playing trying to get really rare pokemon and i dont use pokesaves lol
-
so should we do like a pot luck kind of thing, and have everyone bring food, or have a fend for yourself mall hangout?
its hard to predict the weather, or i would suggest having a picnic.
-
Pot luck sounds fun!! Of course I like to cook, so... I'm biased.
-

well, lets hope everyone else likes to cook as much as you do.
-
Pot luck does sound fun! We could totally find a place in the mall and just have a mini pot luck! Or, if the weather is nice, we could find some place outside.
-

thats what i was thinking.
i think if the weather is nice, we might just go to the park by lloyd center.
-
Well, I can't go any more so have fun guys!
-
Well, I can't go any more so have fun guys!
OH NOES!
why nots?
-
A potluck? You guys know we can't have that in the mall, right? It'd be better if we had a PLACE, preferably inside.
So I'm getting the impression that what we'd be DOING is still up in the air. Is that correct, other than "hang out"?
And I have to know, you guys. If I bring my sales stuff, would people actually BUY? Last time, I got a lot of people saying they wanted to buy and then none of those people showed up, leaving me with a backpack full of things for no apparent reason.
-

I'm guessing not.
You have to think about the crowd you are preaching to though, as we are cosplayers.
Cosplay takes up a good amount of cash, not to mention paying for cons, hotels etc.
About what we are going to be doing, i don't see what is to decide.
Honestly, i think since i plan on having a bit more meetups than the last group, (not saying last years was bad, as it was AWESOME) i think that we can figure it out as we go.
Right now, im looking at planning a meetup every 2 months until the weather gets nicer, and then every month when it does.
-
I'll totally be there, more than likely anyway ^^
As long as Irene doesn't end up outta town, I'll be there, and most of Snorlax will be done then too!
-

we finished my gengar clotheswise tonight.
i already have fangs for it, but i still have to get my contacts >.>
-
That's what I figured you needed XD
Sarge was tellin' me about the contacts and I was all "O_e...Freakin' sweet!"
-

yeah, im pretty psyched about wearing it.
i wore it today on the way to my moms house to pick stuff up, and got honked, waved, or yelled at about every couple minutes.
-
lol
I still have no clue what I'm doing, cosplay wise...But oh well, I have a couple weeks..
And I'm not sure if I'll still be able to come. I might be going to this camp thing over that weekend, but I'm still not sure...
-
I'm sorry, but I can't go, I have a whole bunch of things going on that day. But I will be in Portland, so maybe I'll see you guys while driving around xD
-
so much sad news.
we will miss all of you who don't make it! :-[
-
Well, I can't go any more so have fun guys!
OH NOES!
why nots?
Turns out that the meet up is on my dad's weekend, so I can't go. :'(
-
I will try and show, possibly as a Hitmonchan if I can pull the parts together.
-
Well that would be cool. What happened to you at the halloween party?
-
I might be able too.
Depending on rides.
And If Misty is done.
-

hope to see you there.

ME too.
-
I MIGHT come but Jessie is not done at all except her boots and gloves....
-
Well that would be cool. What happened to you at the halloween party?
I wanted to go but my body decided to sleep after a long day of fighting at the Amtgard party earlier. So I ducked out at a club in Tigard as Super Monster Mario (black hat with Monster M logo and black shirt with overalls), but no one caught on so I didn't win the $100 prize.T^T Next time I'll break out my mi8ghty cosplay and wear a giant cardboard ID sign with the character picture on the front.
And yes, I'm thinking the only parts I need are:
Tan shoulder armor and mask, lavender or grey shorts and t-shirt, grey slippers, a black belt, and of course red boxing gloves.
-
I'm excited to meet new forum people.
From the sounds of it, Irene and I will be there
She with what she has of her Vulpix, and I with most of my Snorlax, I prolly won't have the shoes and gloves done by then. (That thing is hotter than hell T_T)
-
Does anyone actually know what we'll be *doing*? I didn't really get an answer last time. Because honestly, I've gone through this thread and all I really see are suggestions of possibilities.

Last time you asked, i did answer, and basically told you that there is no plan, and frankly, i think you are the only one who cares.
At this point, this meetup is just so that everybody gets a chance to know eachother, and hang out, and have fun. There are no plans as to what we will be doing specifically.
If you would like there to be plans, start suggesting things, and don't just ask what we will be doing, because that seems to be all that you do here.
-
I'll be able to come, but won't be able to stay for that long. If we end up staying at PCS for a while, I might just be there and then leave when everyone else goes to the mall. Depends on time. I have something doing in the evening...

sounds good. i am really hoping the weather isn't too bad, because i would really enjoy staying at the square for a while.

You might want to change the first post...Since it still says that we're meeting at Lloyd.
Also, is the time the same? We'll meet at PCS around 1?

Well then honestly this doesn't sound very fun. Every time this happens, groups wind up getting ignored entirely, and I'm almost always in those groups.
What's the point of having a meetup if you don't know what you're going to do? Count me out.

The point of a meetup is to meet up. not to have any specific plans.
When meeting up, i would hope people would take the time to get to know eachother, and talk to one another, but im guessing you wouldn't understand that. If you are going to have that negative of an attitude towards me, when i am trying as hard as i can, to plan this out, and make it good for everyone, while juggling everything else that is happening in my life, i am glad to see that you are not coming to this, as you would probably ruin it anyway.
-
Hey...Don't be rude! Both of you! Blackjack, if you think something activity wise should happen, give suggetions. And xcthul, don't say that you'd be happy if she didn't come. You were fine until you said that.
Anywho, if we want to plan something, there is the "Keep Portland Weird" thing we could go to! Or at least stop by...

I have tried to reason with her, but i don't want somebody who is going to have an attitude towards me for no reason to show up.
I have no idea what happened at the last meetup, but i wasn't involved in it at all, and for somebody to go and have an attitude with me, when im trying to plan this for everyone else, is a bit uncalled for. I am taking time out of my day to put this together, and the last thing i want is grief. I told her that if she wants something else to do, she can suggest something, but some people don't know how to participate, and they expect everything to be done by one person.
It's okay, i understand where she is coming from, but if she wants something to be done, she can't expect everyone else to do it. I'm only one person, and if people want to help, i am more than welcome to let them help, but if they are just going to stand there and cause drama, they don't need to be a part of the group.
I'm sorry if that sounded disrespectful, but from here on, if somebody wants to do something else at the meetups as a group, they can make suggestions and everyone can talk about it. That is the best way to plan things. Telling me that if i don't plan something else, you aren't going to show up, is not productive, or helpful to the cause.
If you would like to see more, help out, make suggestions, do whatever, but don't just stand there and tell me that i need to do more, because im working really hard on this right now.
@nekovamp: thank you for the suggestion. I will take a look at what is going on, and i will get back to you on that. If anybody else has more information about it, and thinks its a good idea, let me know, because it sounds pretty interesting.

At the last meetup and at the photoshoot at the con, I basically got the short end of the stick the entire time. No one wanted to take my picture, no one wanted to talk to me, no one wanted to act as my pokemon...
So you don't know who Hayley is. That's fine, whatever. But when a passing L gets people begging to act as his pokemon in a POKEMON PHOTO SHOOT over a character who's actually FROM Pokemon, that's just skeevy.
(besides, there were people at the get together who didn't know who CYRUS is. I'm not sure why these same people not knowing who Hayley is should be taken as a sign that "no one" will know, if they're unable to identify one of the primary villians of the franchise)

So shouldn't this make you want to help out more, and maybe try more to be a part of things? If you don't make yourself known, you won't get any recognition.
I was not at the meetup, nor have i cosplayed as a pokemon before, (before being before the halloween party) so i can assure you, i was not a part of this. But as i said before, you can't complain about the way it is if you won't help with it, or suggest something to do. If there is something you would like to do, you are more than welcome to suggest something.
Also, one thing that might help you is if you sign up as a trainer in the gijinka battles thread. I'm sure that would help your recognition at least a little bit.

ok i will go but plox cool down the drama so i will wont to go also i can help with plans and stuff
@blackjack if you wont people to be your pokemon/take pictures with you ask be like hay can i be your trainer for this pic or hay can i join in for this pic

this is quite unlike you

i know im a nice guy but if i dont like you im a [NICE TRY] but i dont know blackjack so im nice
-
@blackjack if you wont people to be your pokemon/take pictures with you ask be like hay can i be your trainer for this pic or hay can i join in for this pic
I did. Everyone was like "FIND A TRAINER GUYS!" and I was like "I'm a trainer! Who wants to be my pokemon?" and everyone would run right past me. I'd go up to individuals and they'd act like they didn't hear me.
As for meetups, I really can't take disorgization. I've never been able to "just hang out". I need to have an objective, even if it's "take pictures" or "go to the mall and do mall stuff". I take Lift, guys. I have to have a specific time and a specific place or I won't be able to get there or get picked up.
Also I *tried* to ask about the chess thing. I put forth a question that's yet to be answered.
-
if only I could join in, but I sadly can't continue working on my cosplay till either december or january... Which sucks.
-
@blackjack ok well dont get all down hateing it that used to happen to me tell i said what ever im going to do what ever i can so i started talking with people and worked my way up i went to high school with no friends by the end of 9th grade i had tons of friends and was daiting the girl that i really really liked
y cuz i put effort into it
you say you need set plans and cant hang out well hang out thats how you get to know people
-

So you are going to completely ignore what i said?
if you would like an objective, think of one, and post it here. We can then discuss it.
there really isn't alot of time to do it though, so do it quickly. you have had about a month.
-
Except I'm not the one in charge of things. You *are*. Are you saying you want input then?
Fine. Perhaps we could arrange a picnic/tournament. We should find a park that has a covered picnic area, since that was mentioned as a concern, or meet at someone's house. Additionally we should have a trade event since I know a lot of people play the card game as well.

I may be the one running hte thread, but that does not make me the leader.
You all need to understand that i may have started the thread, but if it weren't for you guys, this wouldn't be happening at all. I recognize that, and that is why i say we should decide things as a group. We can vote on things like that.
As for a tournament/trade event, that is cool for the people who actually play pokemon games et, but not as appealing for the people who are only there for cosplay reasons. I would actually like that idea. Maybe we can have a cosplay contest as well, so that the cosplayers can have fun too. This does seem more like something that we would do when the weather is nicer, but if anyone can come up with a place we can go, than i am all ears.
As for me, my vote is yes if we find a place.
If the gijinka battles thread picks up a bit more (link in first post under: Related Content), we could start practicing for those.
So anybody have any places in mind?
-
Although I'm not a hard-core battling fanatic, and I haven't collected cards since season one, I certainly wouldn't mind if other people wanted to do that. I enjoy watching, and I would imagine other people might as well. Might even be an opportunity to learn a thing or two :P
-
Well i would be more than happy to throw together a video game tournament, but how many people here actually play the cards?
All im saying is that if there are only like 3 people who are going to bring there cards, would it really be worth it?
Also, @blackjackgabbiani: if you would like to attempt to run a card tournament, you are more than welcome, but im not sure there will be a lot of card enthusiasm
-
First, I collect the cards as weapons in my deck in a desperate effort to keep up with the mob of tournament players with more cards, money, and commitment to the game. So I'll be willing to test my Poke-muscles in a tournament if one is held. And I'll bring along what little tournament playable trade bait I have.
Second, Blackjack, I share a similar pain that you did. Even though they happened before K-con, often times at a meetup I felt like a ghost. I'd be seen but not heard. I would continue to follow along with the group anyway, "haunting" it with my presence that I felt had been shrugged off, intentionally or not. No one complimented, no one complained, and I was afraid to ask how they felt. I felt like I tried my hardest, busted my butt to pull together a character with my small budget, and my only success was making the group bigger. I was with the group, but couldn't find a way to be in the group.
But that was then...this is now. It seems like once K-con is over with, everything starts over clean and fresh. The few meets that I've gone to so far, I've gotten some praise. I have new ideas for awesome cosplay in mind, I just need to find the pieces and pull them together. Meanwhile it's tormenting having to fall back on old hats that everyone's seen before. I might even barely find the pieces to pull together Hitmonchan. It'll be off color, so it would be a first attempt cosplay. Otherwise I'll just guest star as Mario at this meet. (sorry for having an uber-long post everyone)
-
its all good jason.
my gengar is technically off color too, but its really no big deal.
the thing is, if people would be social, they might get more attention.
and i don't just mean talk, i mean get involved. help out, make suggestions, vote on things, put yourself out there to be praised, and most of all, be yourself.
other than that, i can't really give any advice because that is how i have been living my life for years, and i am perfectly happy with what i get. I love being around people so i go to pretty much any meetup i get a chance to go to.
Some people don't like to get involved, be around people, be themselves, whatever. those people can stay at home and sob, while i go out and have a blast.
just my 2 cents.
-
Okay. Not trying to be demanding, but I think we're done with this discussion. One, it's kinda spamming this thread, and two it's just not very nice.
So, back to the meet up!!!
It's final that I'll have to leave when you all go on to Clackamas. And also, the "Keep Portland Weird"....Here's the web site that has some more info: http://www.multcolib.org/events/kpw.html
-
I have a month-long pass so I can easily slip along to CTC. *Turbo Hitmonchan was given the Bus Pass to hold*
-
And if we decide to go to Central Library (where the festival is at), it wouldn't be very hard to get there from PCS.
1. Board MAX Blue Line to Hillsboro
2. Get off at Galleria/SW 10th Ave MAX Station
3. Walk 0.1 mile south to Central Library (801 SW 10th Ave)
Travel time: 4 minutes (including 3 minutes walking)
Fares: This trip is within Fareless Square, so no fare is required.
And I've decided to do an Ariados Gijinka for this ^^
-
Sadness, the last time to ride in fareless square is Dec 31st. I might just take the bus out of downtown up to Janzen Beach and walk across the bridge to MEWcon...if the bridge has a sidewalk.
First test at Hitmonchan coming up. I may bring along some Poke-pocky for us to munch on, and some classic tunes.
-
Isn't that just for buses though? I think the max is still fareless.
-
I will also be planning to attend this event. I will be bringing my DS and will be accepting challenges on my copy of Pokemon Platinum. My teams mainly range from lvl 86-91. I'll also be willing to trade an Arceus for a Cyndiquil, a Totodile, and a Chikorita. I just need to know where are we going to go when we have all gathered at Pioneer Courthouse Square on Saturday, because I may make a brief stop at that "Keep Portland Weird" festival thing......
-
I think we might be planning on stopping at the festival before going to the mall.
-
Epic Idea guys
For here or for con
I call it...Gotta Catch 'em All
It's poke-tag
2 people dress up like Trainers, and the gijinka are well, gikinka
The gijinka run around and the trainers try to tag em
When a gijinka is tagged, he is "caught"
That poke'mon is now on that trainers team
Poke'Mon can hold "wild" poke'mon still, so their trainer can catch them
Every Poke'mon after 6 that a trainer gets goes to the sidelines, and can be swapped out with current pokemon the trainer is using
After they're all caught, whoever caught the most poke'mon wins!
-
That would be fun! I like the idea!!! And could always add another factor...To make it seem like a Poke battle, when you tag a pokemon, the two pokemon do Rock-Paper-Scissors and if your poke wins, you catch the wild one, and if the wild one wins, they get to continue running.
-
lmao
The focus though is on the trainer "catching" pokemon, and the battle is the trainer's pokemon holding wild ones still

We tried that at the last meet up... incase you hadn't heard
-
Once caught though, the trainer could have their team of 6 battle with rock-paper-scissors against the other trainer's team.
As far as holding wild pokemon still, would it be the strongest one in the team to do it, or all the Pokemon in your squad? Eventually becoming six pokemon holding down one wild.
-
All teh pokemanz is what I had in mind, didn't know you all tried it though XD

we can do this.
IF we do end up going to the library, its seriously a lot faster to walk than to take the max, so we will do that.
The pokemon tag thing really depends on the weather though. I don't think we could do this in the mall.
-
Hey I am bowing out of this JT
I could not get work off so i am stuck here for now
I am there in spirit
-
Fraid to say I'm also gonna have to pass on this. Turns out I'm needed to work that day =/
Hope you guys have an amazing time.
-
well, is it just me and kristi now?
lol, we could probably just hang out out here, but if there are others going >.>
I will be able to post for the next 2 days >.>
-
Irene and I still planned on showing up, but IDK if her mom would want to show up for two other peeps (Though I <3 ya JT)
I'll talk to her about it today and let you know, but as of this moment, we -are- going.
-
Make that three. I am still loyal to the planned meet and finishing my first-try Hitmonchan for it.
-
I was confused, I thought this was on friday. I work friday. But then I noticed it's on Saturday! I have that day off so I can come! And my Sudowoodo is close to done. I might be about to wear it! might... ^^;;
-
AWESOME.
that means that we would have 6 people, if pat and irene can make it.
6 people is enough for a respectable, but slightly small meetup.
-
The smaller the group the better, I think. Mainly because everyone will get noticed ^^ No one's left out!!!
I'm so excited for this! Especially since I'm doing a closet (well mostly...) cosplay ^^ I can't wait to see all of your guy's cosplays!!!
-
Woot Woot! See you guys Caturday!
-
Is anyone going to bring their DS's for either battling or trading? Cuz my teams are in their early to late 80s in level and I have 2 Arceus's up for trading. Other than that, I'll be there to take pictures of everyone in their Pokemon cosplay! :D

True.
The good part about large groups is that...everyone sees a large group of cosplayers wandering around.
The sad part is that the overall group is large, everyone kind of breaks off into their own little squads, and the mass of people is hard to keep track of.
So a small cozy pokemon team will work fine for this meet. So to recap, the order of doing stuff is meet at PCS, bounce over to the library then take the MAX Green Verson to Clackamas Town Center, right?
Because I scoped out that Tanis is banding together some peeps at noon over there.

Actually, we haven't decided on whether or not we are going to the library yet, but i don't see any reason why not too.
If everyone else wants to go, im down.

Sorry.
I totally forgot about this.
And Its last minute for my dad.
If any one can.. I might be going to salem center tomorrow.

sounds pretty BA.

-
I'm 80% complete. Just need to make my face and sew my shoulders together.
-
cupcakes are in the oven. ^^
-
Two of my friends and I, might be going to Clackamas Town Center tomorrow~
If we do go, I'll make sure to find you guys and at least say 'Hello~'. ^^
-
cool. you can always call my cell, I always bring it to events. 503-523-9552
and cupcakes done... but sadly I only got 9 made. long story that has to do with a hungry daddy.
and, are we meeting at the bricks? by the statue? by the water I say a homeless man walk around in last time I was there? ^^:;
-
I would assume on the bricks, near the steps...Probably easier to spot others.
I might bring brownies if there's any left (had party tonight...)
I just finished my horn for Ariados ^^ Not the best thing in the world, and I don't even know if it'll stay on, but it'll make me stand out more -w-
-
Hope u guys r having fun
-
Yeah I never did anything. I just stared at goats.

The only reasons why I chose a small day at amtgard instead of this, were because I would have been late, my cosplay would have looked rushed, and I had no one's cell to call and ask where the group was at when I got there. I never got to check here before I headed out. Oh well, next time.
-
Eh, oh well ^^
Always next time
Either way, had fun guys!
-
yeah it was really cool seeing everyone, but it was lame when everyone had to leave.
i had a great time, guys, and i can't wait til january

So, anywho....Pictures???
